Full English Dialogue & Transcript
[0:00 - 0:35] Inside the Car (Filming Driver):
"There's a line at the gas station and people are already fighting, damn... Look at that, holy shit... One-on-one, basically. Wow, they’re really going at it. Moscow, the year 2026, oh fuck..."
[0:45 - 1:15] Driver Steps Out to Break It Up:
Driver: "Guys, what the fuck are you doing? Hey, calm down, calm down! What are you doing, man?"
Shirtless Guy: "Fuck you! Look at what you did, bitch!"
Driver: "Calm down, it's over!"
Old Man / Other Driver: "I'll fuck you up, you piece of shit!"
Driver: "Get in your car! Calm down!"
Shirtless Guy: "Go learn how to drive, you fucking cunt! You piece of trash!"
Driver: "Calm down, that’s enough."
[1:16 - 1:55] Separating the Two:
Shirtless Guy: "Dumb fuck! Fucking asshole!"
Driver: "Alright, go on, get back in your car. Calm down."
Shirtless Guy: "Huh?!"
Driver: "Just calm down, it’s done. Let's go."
Shirtless Guy: "Thanks, brother."
Driver (to the older man): "Come on, grandpa, calm down. Calm down! Hey, bro, chill. If you hit him now, you'll be the one answering for it later."
Older Man: "Fuck him!"
Driver: "Calm down, grandpa, let it go."
[1:56 - 2:20] Clearing the Road:
Driver: "Just calm down! Give it back to me and calm down. Hey, you in the other car, just drive away already, you're blocking everything! Calm down, it’s nothing serious. What, all this over a gas station line?!"
[2:21 - End] Back in the Car:
"Fuck's sake, this is crazy. Look at this, man. Absolute dumbasses."

Attack with FP-5 "Flamingo" cruise missiles on the "Progress" Rocket Center, Samara, August 15, 2026
On the night of August 15, the Defense Forces struck the "Progress" Rocket Center in Samara - the only enterprise in Russia for the serial production of "Soyuz-2" family launch vehicles.
Two hits were recorded on building 106A, where onboard electronics, control systems, cable networks, and instrument compartments for the rockets are assembled. Building 106B, where the final assembly takes place, is located nearby.
The strategic importance of "Progress" lies in its uniqueness. The "Soyuz-2" is used by Russia to launch military reconnaissance and targeting satellites, as well as "Rassvet" satellites from "Bureau 1440." There is no full-fledged alternative to this production in Russia.
Restoring such a facility takes longer than regular production. Fire, soot, and firefighting water in a high-purity environment mean more than just roof repairs; it requires requalification of clean zones, recertification of production processes, and repeated dust control - months, not weeks. Add to that the sanctions: the onboard electronics of the "Soyuz" rockets rely on imported and restricted components, which are difficult to procure today.
The strategic importance of "Progress" lies in its uniqueness. It is the only facility that assembles the entire "Soyuz-2" line, which Russia uses to launch satellites and replenish its military orbital group (radio reconnaissance and target designation systems "Liana," optical reconnaissance systems "Persona"/"Razdan"), and its own "Starlink" equivalent - the "Rassvet" satellite internet system from "Bureau 1440," which is deployed exclusively using "Soyuz-2.1b" launch vehicles. There is no equivalent to this production.

Title: Satellite BDA shows catastrophic damage to the Wildberries logistics hub in Koledino (Podolsk, Moscow Oblast) following yesterday's drone strikes. Source Telegram Exilenova+
Context comment: While ground clips showed the initial smoke plume, overhead satellite imagery confirms near-total burnout of the primary warehouse bays, complete roof collapse across the central section, and ongoing smoldering throughout the distribution complex. This facility is one of the largest logistics and distribution hubs serving the Moscow region.
Ukrainian General Staff releases BDA imagery confirming strike on the Kamensky Combine (Rostov Oblast) — 2 solid-fuel/explosives workshops destroyed, 4 damaged. August 16, 2026,
For context on what's shown in the photos: these are specialized solid-fuel propellant mixing and casting workshops at the Kombinat Kamensky chemical plant in Kamensk-Shakhtinsky, Rostov Oblast, which manufactures propellant and explosives for Russian MLRS systems (Uragan, Smerch, Tornado-S) and air-launched munitions.
The steep, oval earthen walls ringing each structure are blast-containment revetments designed to direct accidental explosions upward and prevent chain reactions across the plant. As seen in the imagery, the strikes punched directly through the containment berms, causing catastrophic roof collapses, heavy internal blast damage, and fire destruction to the specialized machinery inside the bays, while severing the elevated chemical transfer pipelines connecting the facilities.
Additional info:
Two workshops destroyed, four damaged. "Kamensky Combine". Results of the attack.
Following the attack on the night of August 16, 2026,
it has been confirmed that two workshops and four more were damaged at the "Kamensky Combine" plant in Kamensk-Shakhtinsky, Rostov region, Russia. The damaged workshops were involved in the production of explosives and propellants.
"Kamensky Combine" is a facility of the Russian military-industrial complex that produces solid rocket fuel for multiple launch rocket systems "Uragan," "Smerch," and "Tornado-S," as well as for a number of other missile systems and aircraft weaponry.
Work continues to target key military and defense industry facilities of the enemy.
