EXPLAINED: Russian Commander Stanislav Rzhytsky Shot Dead After Posting Runs on Strava Running App
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.
Excellent OpSec, those Russians have!
Uh mate, you might be forgetting this doozy of an embarrassment from a few years back:

Wait until you hear that Budanov liked his Strava post.
Uh, on strava it’s called “giving kudos”.
🔫 “kudos”
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 is westoid propaganda.
"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?
It's a joke lmfao
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.
Ace Combat is a coomer game. You can't change my mind.
Abstract ideas are westoid propaganda. The Party will provide all you need.
Sorry folks, this joke must have been on an airplane or something.
This isn't specific to Russia. There was a story when Strava was first getting big about off map and secure military installations in the US being visible from the guard patrol routes.

That’s exactly why I don’t work out, way too dangerous.
Same with consuming liquids and standing near windows.
Or wearing pants.
Or invading countries. Just not worth the risk
God riddance.
Car ma.
Ironically, running proved to be bad for his health.
This is why I never run. It’s just not safe.
strava strikes again
Rest in piss, orc.
That picture is from after his death, right?
One down, many to go.
Good. The sooner we do away with all the Russian scum the better
My downvote is because I can't tell if you mean military types participating in an unjust invasion or if you're blanket-slandering a nation.
He committed suicide by shooting himself in the head 5x whilst jogging.
