Alexei Zemtsov, a Ka-52 pilot and prominent military blogger known as “Voyevoda,” committed suicide following sustained pressure and legal harassment from high-ranking military officials after he exposed poor equipment and leadership failures. Before his death, Zemtsov released compromising material on the Aerospace Forces leadership and appealed to federal investigators to address systemic corruption and coerced confessions. He ultimately chose to end his life rather than face trial for “discrediting” the army, requesting that his influential Telegram channel be transferred to fellow blogger Kirill Fedorov.

And on this late February morning, it brandishes assorted high-powered weaponry: a revolver, pistol, shotgun, and replica of an M-16 rifle.
…
In February, two Phantoms were sent to Ukraine—initially for frontline-reconnaissance support. But Foundation is also preparing Phantoms for potential deployment in combat scenarios…However, the difference between holding a weapon and firing a weapon accurately is an ocean wide.
Yes, usually… warrant, arrest, forced public apology, “court”, a few thousand ruble fine, ostracization/banishment.
Whatever “accidents” happen afterwards are purely coincidence.
FPV drones. I’m not sure if it’s a mistranslation or a Russian colloquialism.
The Msta-S video was just published.
I hope he dies on that hill.
This battalion operates near the border, so hopefully it’s not as common in other areas.
