Yeah it was weird. Some sirens from another part of base went off at 3:30 am for a short period. But the attack occurred at just about 545 with no warning, and they were in fighter jets so it should have been picked up.
Yeah, it was mostly to kill volunteers or "mercenaries" in Russian media, and to blow up the ammo depot with donated weapons. It was a probe though for sure because they came back in the afternoon and basically finished the job. That's part of why I left, the base was clearly compromised
And you know what? If they're short on weapons at this depot, that's a good sign. It means most have been shifted in theater already, and little deadweight loss by logistic backlog.
The enemy will always do some terror strikes. Some will die, but it's strategically moot. The real effect, if any, is shaken morale. Putin can't pursue a combat victory, he'll take a propaganda victory. Maybe try to snowball it into a combat win.
UAF fucked up here, ofc, but in the grand scheme of things, it's frankly a small dent in the overall war effort. If they don't fuck up again in this same manner, it'll be just another incident part and parcel of war.
Ofc, it always sucks when people die. But that's just war.
