If Destroyed Kremniy El Plant in Bryansk Was russia's Second-Largest Microelectronics Producer, Where Is Largest One?
Answering this question also reveals what kind of long-range strike capability would be required to destroy that facility
The answer is the Mikron plant in Zelenograd. It is not only the largest microelectronics manufacturer in russia but also the only facility capable of producing chips using a 90-nanometer process.

Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you.
There's already been a coup attempt within his own military, and the fact that nobody seemed to openly stop it is incredibly illuuminating.
It's only a matter of time until there's another attempt. How or where that comes from, I have no idea. But no actual military leader, who has fought and bled with their men and who actual cares about his country, is going to go along completely with what is going on in Russia.

Ukraine on Thursday hit in a drone attack a key pipeline hub of Russia’s crude oil exports in the southern region of Krasnodar as Kyiv intensifies strikes on Russian energy and military infrastructure.
The pipeline terminal at Tikhoretsk, which hosts a major oil depot and a pumping station, was hit and a large fire broke out as a result, a source with knowledge of the situation told Bloomberg.
Tikhoretsk is a major oil transshipment and pumping station for Russian oil supply in it southern regions and for exports from its Black Sea ports of Novorossiysk and Tuapse. The Tikhoretsk pumping station distributes crude received via four main pipelines toward the Black Sea ports.
The attack at Tikhoretsk could further complicate Russian oil exports from the Black Sea, which have been hampered in recent months by additional U.S. sanctions on Russian producers and frequent Ukrainian attacks and drone hits at the port of Novorossiysk and surrounding oil storage and pumping infrastructure.
Earlier this month, Ukrainian drones hit an oil terminal at Novorossiysk, setting the depot on fire.
Novorossiysk is a critical oil hub and loading terminal for a large part of Russia’s oil exports from the Black Sea. It is also close to a terminal operated by the Caspian Pipeline Consortium (CPC) which operates the pipeline and loadings of crude oil from Kazakhstan’s huge oilfields.
The attacks on infrastructure and the hefty discounts of Russia’s crude to benchmarks in February sank Russian revenues from oil exports to the lowest level since the invasion of Ukraine four years ago, the International Energy Agency said today.
Russia’s crude and oil product export volumes slumped by 850,000 barrels per day to 6.6 million bpd in February, while total oil export revenues decreased to $9.5 billion, down by $1.5 billion from January, the IEA said in its Oil Market Report for March.
Very interesting that Putin starts getting worried about a coup the month after it records the lowest oil export revenue. Makes one wonder that the Kremlin is having a hard time keeping all of the oligarch's and other people who prop up Putin beaks wet.

The Wall Street Journal reports that the oil giant Saudi Aramco plans to purchase Ukrainian interceptor drones to protect its oil fields from attacks.

By supplying the Russians with shahed drones, the Iranians unwittingly created a market for Ukrainian's anti-shahed drone technology.
I find it astonishing that the US has not already created anti-drone products based upon the Ukraine experience.

Given the brutal futility of Russia's army and Vagner's past insurrection, I suspect that Putin has justified fears. 1.25 million casualties and wrecked economy will do that.

In fairness, I don’t. However, if we had effective anti-drone products, we would likely be selling them to everyone.

I have 2 Son in Laws in the Military, one Army Major, one 1st Sgt Marines. They both tell me that they haven't seen anything like what Ukraine is doing with anti drone technology. They both say we aren't ready for drone warfare.

A number of US PG radar installations have been hit, including AN-TPY/2 / THAAD radar systems. Over $1 trillion worth of critically important equipment destroyed with cheap, slow, subsonic drones.
We've also had eight US servicemen and women killed and over 140 injured, including some that have had to be flown back to the States for treatment. All from drone attacks.
Does that sound like we are prepared for any drone-based warfare?
To add the special TACO sauce, last August Ukraine offered to share their anti-drone tech with the US but was turned down.
The Trump White House turned them down. Typical of the idiocy and total lack of planning coming from this administration.

Naftogaz is the Ukrainian O&G company.
When this war is over and oil and gas from the country formally known as Russia is once again purchased by the Europeans, Ukraine will take a serious slice off the top of the payments. Like 50-60%. And no one will complain. No one that counts anyway...

We often see FP-2 strike drones hitting the roofs of Russian bases, but rarely get to know what happens inside them.
On March 11, 2026, a series of UAV strikes targeted an ammunition depot near Shyroka Balka, close to Mariupol.
During the strikes, Russian forces began evacuating military equipment westward. About 30 minutes later, additional UAV strikes targeted the vehicles that had reached Mangush, roughly 8 km west of the initial strike site.
Five vehicles were destroyed, with casualties reported among Russian servicemen.

Putin has to make hay while the Epstein files remain hidden. As more and more of these files come to light, Putin's blackmail is worth less and less.

“Parliament and the people are united”: Internet and cell service goes out in Russia’s State Duma on seventh day of shutdown in Moscow. [Welcome to the party, Ministers.

This is not going to be resolved. Putin is officially in his bunker.

There has been no mobile internet, no WiFi and no mobile service for the past week in central Moscow and in some northern and southern districts of the city. Residents have reported being unable to connect in the city center and on some subway lines. In some districts, only certain websites from a government “whitelist” were available.
Businesses in Moscow have reportedly lost up to 5 billion rubles because of the shutdowns, and Muscovites have been actively searching for walkie-talkies, paper maps, and wired internet to cope during the outages, according to a report by the independent Russian outlet Important Stories.

Similar issues were also documented in St. Petersburg. Telecom operators say the disruptions are occurring due to “external” restrictions, while the Kremlin described them as measures taken to “ensure security,” adding that they will last “as long as necessary.”

His Russian ex-wife...? He's listening to his Russian ex-wife? This is the best the GRU can do?
He's going to be making little ones out of big ones for a long time. Well, idiot, just visualize your ex-wife's face on each rock before you hit it. That may help.
