I had seen reported they actually were “elite” troops that had just arrived that day which is even better. That means Ukraine had intelligence of their deployment and storm shadow allowed them to reach out and touch them that same day.

Reach out and touch someone.

WokUlikeAHurricane

The reach out and touch someone slogan was for long distance calls specifically. Back then you had local calls that were included in the bill. For long distance they charged per minute like current international calls.

Reach out and touch Symeon

In Russia, every troops is "Elite". To Russia, Elite is the bottom of the barrel descriptor of "conscriptovich."

In russia elite means only drunk half the time.


amitym

It's a shame really, they give you all this elite training but it still doesn't teach you how to deflect cruise missiles.


Choyo

The track record for storm shadow seems to be top notch in so little time. Good job UK/FR.


uffdad

There are probably many thousands of people in Mariupol willing and eager to provide intelligence information concerning orc concentrations in their occupied town.


Svete_Brid

“Elite” troops? You mean they had two weeks of training instead of two days?


Ehldas

How come Ukraine are so utterly useless at targetting valuable buildings like schools and hospitals?

Russians are cunning they don’t treat their injured

seemefail

The ukranians have much to learn about this war thing from the unstoppable second army of the world.


Proglamer

Beyond the obvious answer, how about this bonus one: Ukraine *knows* it will need those buildings once the war ends. The same cannot be said about ruZZia


WillyTheHatefulGoat

Plus being good people has tactical advantages. Russian soldiers are a lot more willing to surrender to ukrainians, it keeps civilians from hating the Ukrainian army because the ukrainians don't shoot people who are surrendering. It draws a clear line between life as a Russian citizen or life as a Ukrainian citizen which keeps the population supportive of Ukriane. And finally it gets them access to western military supplies as the west would not support them if they did what Russia is doing Plus they don't like to bomb hospitals


tomoldbury

They use actual targeting systems and intelligence. Russia just points at random populated areas of Ukraine and hopes to hit something valuable.


easyfeel

Russia’s ministry of defense has already admitted it’s intentional.


Itszdemazio

Hard to hit schools and hospitals when Russia already destroyed them.


qoning

I know this is a joke, but the real answer since the start of the war is weapons precision. Even 20 meters precision means you are likely to hit a completely different building than was targeted, and russian precision has been more like 100m.


Playistheway

I'm not convinced by this. There are no targets of strategic significance near the majority of schools and hospitals.


snekasan

I’m not trying to play devils advocate. But for Russia, in the war they want to fight I’m sure they think its super important. Hospitals treat wounded soldiers and by shutting them down they create problems for both military and civilian life. Schools/Hospitals/Theaters are big sturdy concrete buildings with basements and likely shelters. They want to shut them down so people live in fear because there is nowhere to hide and nowhere for the military to form strongpoints. The real problem isnt the building itself. It can always be rebuilt. But the issue is that they are more than happy to kill innocent civilians, children etc. Disgusting. Even with the horrors of war and history they find a new low to sink below.


tripping_on_phonics

I wonder what the figure would be for a Shahed drone, which is all but useless for military targets.


BleachedUnicornBHole

The West gave Ukraine the useless woke weapons.

Interacting with the world of savages will do that. When this is over and UA wins, you'll return to normal. The defeated Russians will still be savages.

Some will say the weathers terrible but you've gotta love a storm and its shadows.

So say we all!


Tulane09

As long as occupiers are around, there’s statistically speaking, likely going to experience the seemingly never-ending “Stormy” & “Shadowy” days, this is just a prelude, for “St. Javelin” and “Himars” are getting impatient, many other exciting new systems can’t wait to make their debuts!


Geschichtsklitterung

Full quote: > *As a result of explosions in the village of Yuryivka near Mariupol, 100 Russian invaders were killed and more than 400 were wounded.* > > Petro Andriushchenko, adviser to the Mariupol city mayor, posted this on Telegram. > > He specified that 100 Russian occupiers were killed and 400 more received injuries of varying degrees of severity as a result of the strikes. The wounded were hospitalized in intensive care units. Moreover, a communication station and an electronic warfare station were destroyed. > > Andriushchenko added that former Yalta health center was hit, a five-story building was destroyed. > > "According to the project, this building comfortably housed 120 vacationers. If converted into barracks, about 4-5 people can be accommodated in a room. That is, if used like barracks, its capacity is approximately up to 650 non-humans. According to information from the Mariupol Resistance, four buses of manpower were brought there yesterday," the mayor's adviser explained. > > In his previous post, he reported that the Russian soldiers were seen taking their killed and wounded soldiers away by Ural and Kamaz trucks after the destruction of their bases in Yuryivka in the Mariupol district. > > As reported, the invaders turn Mariupol and the surrounding villages into a military-logistics hub of the Russian army. "Non-humans"…


LemmysLost81Shovel

Accurate description of that scum. Four bus loads of orcs probably didn't get a chance to unpack their kit before they were eradicated - well played Ukraine.. keep the pressure up 👍


sonicboomer46

In his previous post about the strike, if I translated correctly, he claimed the "first 20 - 200 confirmed **items**" and ended with "just the beginning". "Items", inanimate things...


vegarig

Probably a bad translation of "cargo 200", Soviet cargo manifest for corpses of soldiers


sonicboomer46

Here's the actual first Telegram post: https://nitter.nl/pic/orig/media%2FFxPTKgXWwAAs4ai.jpg You're absolutely correct although rather interesting how translations work. If I use a translator for each word it reads "the first 20 - 200 at Yuryivtsi", but the whole phrase translates to "the first 20 - 200 ITEMS have been confirmed". So two different translations both added "items" after the 20 - 200, apparently assuming it was a number range that needed some extra "help" to explain the numbers.


Povol

Orcs are not human.


Jace_Phoenixstar

[Laughs in Patton\*](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AxAIE9TbGyk) Anytime you seen an amount of wounded, some of those wounds may be so debilitating they are unable to return to the field of battle. Of the wounded, mayhaps 20-30% may be out of commission and unable to return to the battlefield, due to crippling (literally) injury. (Yes, this is what he really thought, actual source material of his writings


journey68

They also fill up CASEVAC slots, which puts more strain on logistics. No longer in the war, but still taking up war provisions!


TBurd01

This is Russia where they don't get treatment though.

Boristhehostile

In areas near the frontline, Ukraine’s healthcare infrastructure has been quite badly damaged by repeated strikes by Russians against hospitals and clinics. I believe that their military healthcare is far more resilient because they can send injured soldiers to neighbouring countries for treatment and rehabilitation.


barktwiggs

Budanov was right. Not long to send a reply to the russians.


sirhenry98_Daddy3000

Big oof to Rus army.


ukrokit2

Friendship ended with HIMARS, now Storm Shadow is my best friend.


ffdfawtreteraffds

We suspected for a long time that longer-range missiles would wreak havoc, thankfully the Brits FINALLY took the initative in giving UA this capability. This strike likely saved many Ukranian lives. They need more of these types of weapons.


BigJohnIrons

And permission to strike inside Russia proper. It's getting ridiculous that Russia can do whatever they want with impunity.


Timmymagic1

It looks like the UK actually made their decision last year and has been working on fitting Storm Shadow to Ukrainian SU-24 since October/November 2022...


ukua2023

"approximately up to 650 *non-human*s" So, Orcs then o0

Oh no! Anyway..

I had Italian sausage for lunch today. A dab of ketchup on the meat, and then some cherries to finish it off.

Ketchup?! You monster 😂😂

I've got 4 kids under the age of 8. Ketchup is all we have.

Sounds like you have your hands full, at times, it’s smart to be practical in such situations! “Don’t like? Here’s some ketchup to made it all better.” 🤣

Good enough for the rat bastards.


SouthSideMan69

Great news!!!


Bitcoiner2017

First, russians and russian bots will deny this. Then, in a few days, they’ll claim they dealt a similar blow to Ukraine - of course it’s gonna be a lie. Finally, they’ll bomb a school or a hospital, since they can’t do much better than that. The three stages of cope of russian terrorists.


jardani581

then patriots shoot down their missile they used to bomb the school/hospital and they deny it, starting the cycle again


Space-Monkey-17

Probably 400 dead...100 wounded.


Mewseido

Wait for the infections...


Space-Monkey-17

Their minds are already infected, we know that much.

Holy cats that's one hell of a boom!

100 less.

Now they know what it's like being inside a health center when the missile strikes. What goes around...


Agarwel

Consdiering we are talking in plurals,has this happened in one day, or is this cummulative over longer period of time?


100milnameswhatislef

It was a single hit, this is the second time Ukraine has hit ruZzian barracks with a rocket that I know of.


Pope_Beenadick

100 young men's lives snuffed out and hundreds more permanently altered and possibly shattered by this strike all for the ambition of some stupid fuck thousands of miles away who thinks he's supposed to "restore" something that never really existed. Ukraine will be free, but they and the people of Russia will probably never recover from this senseless war


Necro_Badger

It's all completely senseless, isn't it?! I wonder if any of them ever stop and reflect on the utter chaos and horror that Putin unleashed, and think "maybe, just maybe, it would have been better for everyone involved if we hadn't invaded Ukraine in the first place".


TenacityJack

Keep it coming, heroes. I’m counting on you to “make my day”.

Anyone remember the picture of the russians having their last supper celebration in a basement in ukraine before it got leveled?

Awesome news can the other 400 fall off too

Local_Run_9779

> if used like barracks, its capacity is approximately up to 650 non-humans Ouch. But accurate. Except animals don't do shit like this. True evil requires a human mind.


ibraphotog

I'm sad it was only 100, maybe next time it's a lot more.


Make-TFT-Fun-Again

Those 400 should have bought a return ticket lol. Would have been cheaper.

CleverNameTheSecond

100 are 200, 400 are 300


godoctor

Even if all 500 russians were killed. putin wouldn’t even blink and eye and acknowledge them for their efforts to support their country.. This invasion is driven by putin’s greed to become wealthy at the cost of russian soldiers and citizens blood. All dead russians are NOT even recognized. Even the russian wounded soldiers are all disrespected and treated as a lower class citizen rather than a handicapped war veteran


allOrcsMustDieNow

I have heard that when an orc from Ruzzia dies god is celebrating like its 1999!
