On the strike on the 179th Training Center of the Signal Troops in Poltava
What is known as of the end of September 3, 2024

In the morning, the Russian Armed Forces launched a missile strike on the 179th Advanced Training Center of the Signal Troops in Poltava.

According to official data, the enemy reported 51 killed and 271 wounded. Ukrainian propaganda emphasizes statements about "civilians" and some "neighboring hospital".

❗️However, judging by the map, there are no hospitals nearby, and the nearest multi-story buildings are dormitories, which are also barracks of the affected "educational institution" that became the deployment point of one of the Territorial Defense brigades back in 2014.

At the same time, we note that given the enemy's tendency to underestimate their own losses, the success of the strike may be much higher. And against the background of reports of the destruction of Swedish instructors, the events in Poltava may take an even more interesting turn, since there are already versions on the Internet about the additional training of Ukrainian specialists on the announced AWACS aircraft ASC 890 to be supplied.
