I watched the video again in full screen and it looks like a port. That kind of port is sort of like an airport for ships. It will have large concrete parking areas, even more fuel than where aircraft are, and big trucks. I saw trucks over that concrete wall near and perhaps even in the fire. I didn't see a ship but there might have been one there behind the fire.

Doesn't look like a penal colony but there is one near there.

The only thing keeping me from Berdyansk is in that video, you see a RR crossing sign, followed immediately by double layer walls and a section heavily barbed wired. I saw the same trucks too, couldn't tell if fire fighting or military vehicles.

By now, if it was berdyansk, it would have been geolocated as there are pros out there that can Id a place quick. Lol.

I've tried and I suck. Lol

And I'm speaking to the middle part of video.

I can see why you think I'm talking about Berdyansk because I mentioned a port and ships. I was talking about about the city of Kazan which is 400 miles from Ukraine and probably close to 500 miles from the nearest salt water sea. The Volga river is very large and it goes through there. there's a sea port of sorts, and very small ships, at least tugs and barges, sail up that river to load and unload cargo.

I think there were two fires but only one attack by air. I think Berdyansk's port may have got hit by a missile and had a fire, but the video we saw was not from there, it was from the sea port in Kazan instead. The fire in Kazan probably started because of an accident, or because someone flew a drone there, or was smoking.

There are sea ports in all sorts of places most people would not think of because they are such long distances form the oceans. Their is a fairly busy sea port in Lewiston Idaho 465 miles inland from the Pacific Ocean. Mostly it's barge traffic, but one time I was on a very small ship that came off of the Pacific that put into there.

Here's a video about that out of the way sea port:

I don't know that story has a video screen grab photo in it that looks a lot like a video from a year ago. That Yahoo/CNN story is dated today, but it sounds like the attack there a year ago where the same damage was done, and even the Orsk was mistakenly thought to have been the ship which blew up.

There's another clue that something is fishy, read this sentence from today's story, after reading it I decided this story is a misdated year old CNN story.

"Mariupol still eludes Russian control despite being surrounded and mercilessly pummeled, block by block, by Russian firepower.



Here's video from that attack a year ago that might have provided the screen grab for today's Yahoo/CNN story.

I have been trying to get another site confirmation. I’m hoping ATP has some video tomorrow. My twitter has been sporadic today, hopefully tomorrow it will be better.

Talk about a juicy target. What is a BCwarehouse?

It's not your fault.

Found this in the replies to the thread Hertling boosted.

Ground assault only this is indeed difficult. Which is why you need air superiority. Among other tactics, you could paradrop troops behind the trench to open up the breach for reinforcements.
Of course this is a tremenduous risk - it failed pretty badly in WW2 (Operation Market Garden - September 1944), when the reinforcements could not relieve the paratroopers. And we say it in this conflict with the Russian assault on Hostomel.

It did kinda work in Operation Overlord, however, though the airborne paid a pretty high price.
