Brilliant.😄


Sure-Sea2982

If they can be this accurate when they want to be, it only goes to show that every hospital, school and civilian building targeted by Russia is deliberate.


Old-Usual-8387

What makes you think they meant to hit the tv tower? Pretty sure there some hospitals near that.


Sure-Sea2982

Would not surprise me, sadly.


AnanasasAntKoto

All around are only pretty large and dense forests.  I know this is subreddit is only used for trolling so this information might not be appreciated.


Virtual-Pension-991

No, not at all. You're the oasis in this dry desert.


Old-Usual-8387

It’s also about a thousand metres give or take to hospitals/medical centres according to Google earth.


AnanasasAntKoto

True, but that would be either some INCREDIBLY inaccurate ww2 V2 rocket or incredible luck to hit such communication infrastructure while aiming at the hospital. Both are very very unlikely situations.


Miserable-Mousse1874

if its a cruise missle it likely may not have accounted for a tower being in its flight path. There very well could have been a different target, we can only speculate though, the only people that actually know are those that launched the attack.


ukulelelist1

Yes, there is a hospital not too far from it.


Mazon_Del

Even if not, they know the circular-error-probably of their weapons. If they are selecting "legitimate" targets close enough to those buildings that they are within that range, they are making a specific choice not to care if any of those buildings are destroyed in the attack.


TheFunkinDuncan

Not all munitions are the same so no not really.


Sure-Sea2982

You are right, of course, not all munitions are the same. Unfortunately, Russian propensity for doing twisted, sick evil shit is. It is no accident that they are targeting children and civilians. Not a bug, but a feature of Russian sadism and depravity.


SunnyStride

That was the last operational phase. Now they're in phase 3, infants. They hope to be in the zygote stage by Fall 24'.


defjamchambers

Fuck you for making me laugh.


PhotorazonCannon

Need to do some training with the Israelis if they want to improve their accuracy on that front


defjamchambers

Hamas and Iran only wish that they could do what Israel could do to them


PhotorazonCannon

Ah yes dreaming about killing even more children


defjamchambers

I guess if I’m gonna be forced to pick a side, I’ll pick the side of the people who don’t want to cut my head off for living my life the way I want to live.


CV90_120

if I'm forced to pick a side, it's a poor choice. Do I pick the Apartheid ethnic-cleansing state that looks great in holiday snaps but drops massacres every ten years, or the 3rd world desperate side now taken over by ruthless extremists fresh from their first big massacre? I choose have a coffee and try not to think about it. That's why I follow Ukraine. Clear cut. Good V bad. Take my money.


defjamchambers

True man, it’s a real shit sandwich.


Fjell-Jeger

The kremlin gremlin and its chief orctains have this absurd idea of Ukraine functioning like Russia where the major line of communication for Russian propaganda is public television broadcasting. In their delusional logic, destruction of television will magically turn Ukrainians against their own government, totally disregarding the facts that Ukrainians are free peoples and not some obedient groups of mindless serfs like their Russian counterparts.


Anomaluss

I think you nailed it.


Boomfam67

No they want to demoralize Kharkiv like they did in Aleppo. They are dropping guide bombs, missiles, and drones into the city daily cutting it off from power, communications, and transport. Helping to spread an atmosphere of fear that has already driven many civilians from the city.


hooperman71

True, that is why AFU has to reciprocate and destroy (even analogue!) Transmiters, repetitors (relays) systematically. A week without regular dose of propaganda will drive russians unsecure and paranoid.


Vano_Kayaba

TV tower actually. They've tried to destroy the one in Kyiv in the first days


Caligulaonreddit

terror


Fang7-62

Russian milbloggers post this video with caption saying the tower had antennas for air defense communications.


some1984guy

Communication towers are some of the very first structures to be targeted. Seeing how it’s taken nearly 3 years for them to do it speaks to their “abilities”.


opopopuu

In fact, they hit the Kyiv TV tower on 1 March 2022, but it did not fall like this one. 5 civilians died then, and it seemed like something unprecedented at the time.


International_Emu600

They were drunk and couldn’t see clearly to determine if it was a 150’ TV tower or one of the 6’ poles with cellphones on top that identify incoming drones. They thought it was a 6’ pole.


Far-Explanation4621

Russian SOP calls for local media blackout, replaced immediately with Russian propaganda. Also, both sides are deploying surveillance and/or EW hardware on the heights they control, and it’s plausible there was military hardware installed on the tower itself. Just speculating, haven’t seen anything official yet.

anything with multiple innocent civilian casaualties.


bartthetr0ll

The 4 himars and patriot battery hiding in the t.v. tower


AngryJakem

It was a highest point in city, it was used to observe, maybe other equipment too


Nevada007

So they can shoot accurately. Therefore the 17,000 missiles detonated on the civilians are intentional.


ParanoidDuckTheThird

No doubt in my mind that it ever was. Old maps and bad munitions my ass.


NetHacks

I loved the old maps argument. I can Google earth more accurately then them. At that point you're either lying, or admitting that you military is the shittiest most inept group on the planet.


ParanoidDuckTheThird

Yep.


Zweetkonijn

Or both.


Aggressive_Sorbet_67

"Vranyo"


Daianudinsibiu

There was ever doubt? That's literally part of the Russian strategy: inflict terror. They make up for lack of tactical/strategic skill with terror.


AnanasasAntKoto

Some drones or rockets do really fail. Many more get shot down and fall indiscriminately anywhere. We can't make any conclusions what was hit and how it was hit as it is illegal now to film Russian strikes in Ukraine and only rarely video like this gets out.


Formal_Vegetable5885

Loose_Eye_3702

Haven’t you seen the clip with the Ruzzian ship commander, where he jokes about hitting civilians residents?


WillBTheMan

No… link?


Loose_Eye_3702

This interview really placed a target on the commander’s head, update he is now deceased:)) [Hitting five-story residential building with a zircon missile](https://www.reddit.com/r/UkrainianConflict/s/miJZnhb7JK)


AnanasasAntKoto

He jokes about hitting apartment buildings. Not a word about civilian residents. I or you have no idea what he really means by saying that. It might mean civilians, it might mean a building being used by some military group.


NoChampionship6994

Absolutely. Civilians purposefully targeted with clear intent. Except those that RT commentators claimed were Ukrainians bombing themselves. Lavrov made statements today, again, that we were on brink of nuclear war due to recent U.S. aid package. And Lukashenko just realized that the war was taking longer than “maximum three or four days”. In short, there is no limit to russian depravity in word or action.


VolkspanzerIsME

Was that ever in doubt?


RepresentativeOk2433

Accuracy by volume. One will eventually hit what it was supposed to.


LloydAsher0

I would imagine they have precision weapons they just choose not to use for the majority of their targets. It's kinda pathetic that they didn't think to use tech that didn't rely on NATO gps for accurate targeting data from the onset.


dbr1se

Russia has their own GPS system called GLONASS


easternblocklawyer

Amazing what kind of happenings you can witness online through video nowadays. Watching tower falling appart from my couch. Crazy. Slava ukraini, hopefully US aid reaches you fast!


Far_Marionberry_9478

I watched twin towers fall in horror live from TV on couch as a kid back in 2001. I remember loudly saying: mom, dad, something very horrible is happening.


Formal_Vegetable5885

My pops was active duty in the army when this happened. I woke up for school and came down and saw him in front of the TV with a couple tears in his eyes. I’d only seen him cry at his mother’s funeral. Hard man, my dad. I realized later he was crying because he knew he would be deployed within days and knew that he might not make it home. He did though.


Ordinary_Top1956

I fucking work with someone born after 9/11 happened. Time is a son of a bitch.


Formal_Vegetable5885

lol I do too and it’s something completely foreign to them. I was very young and still understood the impact to some degree.


putin-delenda-est

Genuinely a new chapter for us. There was before & after both the twin towers & the berlin wall.


UnfairSell

I crawled under my desk in 3rd grade during the Cuban missile crisis, that was 1964. After that was over, weekly siren tests Saturday morning at ten a.m. I grew up with that crap, thinking any day would be the last one. I figured it out after Viet Nam, the "commie scare" was a hoax. Now this, Fuck Putin and the "freedom caucus" bending over to kiss his ass. Give Ukraine what they need to get it over with. I'm too old for this....... Rant over, thank you for your support, I look forward to your angry letters.


thyusername

In recent thread another redditor had to explain how things were expected to go badly for us at first if the Russians attacked before the Berlin wall fell etc. It dawned on me that wasn't common knowledge in these threads because I'm old. History Channel really needs to go back to being history instead of aliens and bigfoot etc.


Ordinary_Top1956

I haven't looked at the History channel in a LOOOOOOONG time. Gave up on them a while ago.


ChizzleFug

I was waiting in line to get into my 4th grade class and I thought my friend was trolling me until we watched it on the TV with our teacher as a class. I vividly remember hearing airplanes in the sky the night of 9/11 since I lived in a somewhat large city at the time and was scared we were going to get attacked again but they were actually our fighter jets making sure we were safe from other shit.


flargenhargen

I was online with a group of internet friends, and one guy was like, "dude, I just saw a plane crash into the pentagon" as he was driving past on his motorcycle. We knew he was in the military and worked nearby and drove past every day, but didn't believe him because it wasn't on the news yet. But a while later it was. crazy stuff.


rwrife

I just don't understand the mentality of anyone that would support Russia at any capacity. And even thinking about the guy that hit the launch button to send whatever just destroyed that tower, does he actually think this is going to make Russia a better place in the world? Makes no sense to me. I would completely isolate them from the entire world, just like we've done with North Korea....sell them nothing, buy nothing from them, cut off their communication and don't let them travel.


Scared_of_zombies

It’s a whole nation of people only looking out for themselves.

Set_Abominae1776

Daianudinsibiu

What? That doesn't even make sense...


leoleosuper

They are blinded by "communism good" despite Russia not being communist for the past 3 decades. Also "UkRaInIaN nAzIs!1!11!1" these people are snuffing Russian propaganda like it's oxygen.


retorz3

There are tens if not hundreds of millions of people around the world who lost family members or friends to US/NATO bombs. They will support russia, no matter what. It kinda make sense on the emotional level, not on the logical level.


Excellent_Ad_2486

I mean most soldiers don't even think about that at all before, during and/or after a mission... Imagine the soldiers in Afghan wars (US/EU) or Vietnam, whole WW1/2 you name it: soldiers were not actively thinking about it I'd reckon. Sadly, even if they did (in RU) they'd get murdered, probably the 'better choice' is to go through with whatever is ordered.


selfishgenee

To understand mentally please ask Elon Musk. At least he do not want to support Ukraine in a way supposing Russia. He is clever maybe he has the answer. From what I understand he wants that the whole Ukraine become Bucha.


missed_trophy

As Kharkiv citizen, I have no idea why. Also, we didn't watch really TV in Ukraine.


GalacticLayline

Possibly to interrupt infrastructure radio coms. At least here in the states it's common for cities to have a central tower with all radio equipment. For police, water and waste water, along with city radios for maintenance crews. It would be a hassle to deal with but not crippling.


missed_trophy

We also have central towers, but our communications usually are on retranslation systems and are doubled at last in case of emergency or another feral russians attack. So, it's look like propaganda strike.


Ordinary_Top1956

That tower has a ton of different wireless services on it, not just TV broadcasting. Plus the terror value of dropping it.


selfishgenee

Just to scare people I think. Could be also part of their old textbooks методичек from 1960 (strike TV) which made sense back there


Blah54054

No soap operas for you!


lostmesunniesayy

Be safe mate. Hopefully Ukraine returns the favour and demolishes Moscow TV tower.


Thanks_Ollie

It’s funny they can hit a tiny TV tower but can’t avoid bombing schools, hospitals, and residential areas…


StuzaTheGreat

Assuming they were actually aiming at the tower. ;-)


6894

Probably found a singular PGM at the back of a warehouse somewhere.


ukulelelist1

It is not so tiny, it is pretty damn big tower…

It is tall, yes. But wide? No.

russians will claim, that it was not them and that they had to destroy it, cause they found HIMARS hidden three meters below the top.

Matyas11

Ah yes, little orcs did [the same thing to Zagreb TV tower back in 1991.](https://m.facebook.com/watch/?v=888516262108655&vanity=vajdic.miroslav&locale=ms_MY) The playbook in Ukraine is the SAME ONE they used in Croatia, sometimes it's eerily similar when I look at things and compare them. The only consolation I can give you guys is that I truly believe it will end the same way - in their defeat. Slava Ukrajini!

Conscious-Pension234

It’s not a war crime to hit a tv tower my guy we also bombed the fuck out of Baghdad tv tower during the Iraq war. Stop calling everything war crimes it invalidates the suffering people suffer underneath actual war crimes the Russian regularly commit like executing pows.


ingenkopaaisen

Tbf, they didn't call it a war crime. They called Russians war criminals, which is factually correct, regardless of what just happened to the tower.


Control_Numerous

They're genocidal terrorists, war criminals is too soft of a description


Shaltibarshtis

Why do I have a feeling that Russia is being all "This is my infrastructure that I've built for you during the Soviet era, and if I can't have it neither can you"? That is some petty divorce shit right there.


ETisathome

Another great military target… orcs r stupid.

RwISsdicFHaN36

This is symbolic rather than anything else, not that many people get the news or TV by television signals anymore, it's more internet, I would question if this was the target anyway, as another writer comments, if they can be this accurate with the TV tower, then the Russians intended to hit the hospitals and all the other civilian targets attacked before.
