A Russian commander with an apparent habit of posting his running routes on social media has been shot dead while jogging in the city of Krasnodar.

Who’s the victim?

Stanislav Rzhytsky was the deputy head of the department for mobilization and, according to reports, a former commander of the Krasnodar submarine which has been used to launch deadly missile strikes against Ukrainian cities.

His death was first confirmed by Russia’s state TASS news agency which said a police investigation into the killing was underway.

Who killed him?

That’s yet to be confirmed, but Ukraine’s Defense Intelligence (HUR) on Monday morning confirmed the shooting and while they didn’t take responsibility, they included a number of very specific details that only someone very familiar with the killing would know.

          Yes. I am a user of Strava. But many aren’t, so rather than get bogged down in an explanation of the semantics, I wrote what I wrote.

          Since functionally it is identical and any difference irrelevant.

      Don’t forget the US military revealed the existence of a secret military base the same way…

        OpSec

        “Operational security (OPSEC) is a security and risk management process that prevents sensitive information from getting into the wrong hands.”

        How can a generic concept be propaganda?

            Sorry, just seen way to many trolls and astrosuffers. Never know when things are a joke or deliberate attempt at polarization or rage baiting ^^ Think it’s good to be more serious on a community surrounding world news, so I was.

            We’re approaching noncredible levels previously thought to be impossible.

              Did someone just say noncrrredible? You better bring some jet fighter pinup waifus if you use such words.
