Feels good to see this explosion on Russian soil but I immediately worry that its some self inflicted explosion that dirtbag Putin is going to use as justification to escalate to tactical nukes or other nasty weapons.

The sources are confirmed real, and countries all over Europe have been expelling Russian diplomats all day.
- Russia's spy network just got heavily compromised and the reveal of these agents is a huge blow to Putin
It also confirmed one of two things
- Ukraine has their own embedded intelligence within the FSB which means the FSB may be compromised
- Most likely, sources within the FSB are working to undermine Putin directly
Another development: Russia’s Civil Aviation Authority servers were hacked and all data erased.
A powerful and effective cyberattack on the Russian Federal Air Transport Agency (Rosaviatsia) infrastructure that took place on Saturday morning has erased all documents, files, aircraft registration data and mails from the servers. In total, about 65 terabytes of data was erased. The news became known on Monday morning, the agency’s official website (favt.ru) went also down.
Officially, the Russian Federation does not confirm anything but blamed it on temporary lack of access to internet and a malfunction of the electronic document flow system of Rosaviatsia that they switched over to a (pen and) paper version: information exchange will be carried out via AFTN channel (for urgent short message) and postal mail.
It is alleged that the attack occurred due to poor performance of contractual obligations by company LLC “InfAvia”, which operates the IT infrastructure of Rosaviatsia. “The prosecutor’s office and the FSB have been sitting at Rosaviatsia since Saturday,” said a person familiar with the case.
The authorities are now looking for a backup, if any. The Aviation Herald wrote that no backup of these data exists due to lack of funds allocated by Russia’s Ministry of Finance.
It’s believed that Anonymous Hacking Group is behind the coup, they were also able to retrieve data from Russian State Media (tv and radio) and publish it on the internet.

I have enjoyed all the twitter accounts that proclaimed Russia would take Kyiv in 2 days are now switching to proclaiming this was the plan all along and the Kyiv attacks were just to occupy Ukraine's military while they take the true targets.
If that was their true plan - then the Russian leadership is dopier than anyone even thought.
Standard "if I say something crazy enough people will talk about me" schtick.

Ah the old 'lose thousands of soldiers and millions of dollars in equipment then retreat' switcharoo trick.
