*(or "Response" / "Reciprocal Strike")*

There was no doubt that the massive rocket and drone attack by the “bast-shoed ones” (lapti) carried out during the day on Friday would not go unpunished, as such things simply no longer happen without consequences these days. Every Putin raid receives not a mirror response, but a powerful “backhand,” as a result of which entire enterprises drop out of the chat — as happened in Primorsk and Ust-Luga. The same thing occurred this time. Overnight, strikes hit targets on the territory of the chicken coop [Russia], where for various reasons they definitely did not expect it.

The closest to Ukraine’s borders is Taganrog, and it got a tasty hit on two enterprises that good birds had visited just a few days earlier. We are talking about an aircraft repair plant where their A-50 AWACS aircraft and Tu-95 strategic bombers undergo modernization and repair. In addition, strikes hit a site for the assembly of strike and reconnaissance drones. The “bast-shoed ones” had only just started clearing up the mess from the previous arrivals, and the birds flew in again and dropped fresh yeast on the old sourdough. The locals were probably extremely surprised by this turn of events, but then again, those who work in Ust-Luga, where arrivals came night after night for about 10 days in a row, were probably even more surprised.

It is still too early to speculate about the consequences of this raid, as we need satellite or human intelligence data to appear. But what is important here is that the Defense Forces have already instilled in the “bast-shoed ones” a kind of conditioned reflex that can be described as: “If it flies to us, it will fly to you too.” And so it flew — just a few hours after the end of their large-scale attack on our territory.

It seems that the local gauleiter Sliusar, although he followed the usual script about “everything was shot down” and “fallen fragments,” still couldn’t hold back and revealed some additional details that our General Staff or other agencies have not yet disclosed. It looks like this:

> “The air attack on the Rostov region tonight again brought tragic consequences. In Taganrog — one person was killed, four were injured — three residents of Taganrog and one citizen of a foreign state. The injured received serious wounds; according to doctors, the condition of three is serious. […] During the missile strike on Taganrog, commercial infrastructure was damaged. A fire broke out on the territory of the warehouse premises of a logistics company. People were evacuated. At the moment, the fire has been localized. UAVs were repelled and destroyed in the waters of the Taganrog Bay of the Sea of Azov, in the Chertkovsky and Sholokhovsky districts of the region. In the bay waters, as a result of fragments of a UAV hitting it, a commercial vessel was damaged and a fire broke out. It has been localized as of this hour. The dry cargo ship under a foreign flag was several kilometers from the coastline. Emergency response services are working at the scenes. Data on ground damage is being clarified.”

We can agree that, despite the clichés used by the gauleiter, his report turned out to be vivid and even somewhat dramatic. But it wasn’t just there. It became known that strikes also reached much farther — practically to the Urals. The good birds reached Tolyatti, where local residents noted numerous explosions on the territory of two adjacent enterprises at once: “Tolyattikauchuk” and “KuibyshevAzot.” The locals report that after a series of “pops,” a large-scale fire started there.

We will only note that the Defense Forces have begun to cut out enterprises that produce raw materials for rubber-technical products and, accordingly, are consumers of crude oil. In addition to the fact that their products go into the supply chain of military-industrial enterprises, such plants also force a reduction in oil extraction due to falling domestic consumption. And “KuibyshevAzot,” like any of their enterprises whose name contains “azot” (nitrogen), is a producer of raw materials used for the manufacture of explosives. So the response already looks more than solid.

**Notes on translation:**
- The tone is kept deliberately informal, ironic, and military-slangy, as in the original (typical for Ukrainian war commentary).
- “Лапті” (lapti) = “bast-shoed ones” — a mocking nickname for Russians.
- “Курник” (chicken coop) = derogatory term for Russia.
- “Добрі пташки” (good birds) = Ukrainian drones/missiles.
- “Обратка” = “backhand” or retaliatory strike.
- “З чату виходять” = “drop out of the chat” (internet slang for being taken out/destroyed).

If you need any part adjusted (more literal, more neutral, or with explanations), just let me know!
