Russia's 'strategic' MLRS strike hits a church and 20 houses in Kharkiv

Original version ·

Nothing screams tactical military prowess quite like firing heavy artillery at sleeping residential suburbs at two in the morning.

Around 1:40 AM, Russian forces decided that a quiet neighborhood in Kharkiv posed an urgent threat. They fired a Tornado-S multiple rocket launcher straight into the residential district.

The targets turned out to be a local church, over twenty private homes, garages, and parked family cars. Nine people, including a two-year-old girl, suffered acute stress reactions. Miraculously, nobody required hospitalization, though having artillery shell your bedroom ceiling isn't ideal for a good night's rest.

Firing heavy long-range rockets at church domes and residential garages in the dead of night continues to be someone's idea of military mastery.

It turns out winning battles is difficult, but terrorizing toddlers in their sleep remains fully within their tactical budget.

    2am MLRS strikes on sleeping suburbs... just pure, unadulterated terrorism at this point.
    +4 solidCalling a spade a spade, or in this case, calling Russia's tactics terrorism, is a refreshing break from diplomatic euphemisms
