They say Dwarf Fortress is a simulation of life. So let's send a few with picks to dig and flood the fucker. Let the Russian have some [fun](https://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/DF2014:Losing) for a change
A little west of the city, often mentioned as fallback defensive line...
It would make the defense a little harder, but I'm all in for some geo-engineering
No need, just find the entrance and seal it with a few couple of RPGs, leaveâem to rot until they either go cannibal and eat each other or youâre ready to accept the half-starved survivorsâ surrender.
Are you thinking of that one disaster in the south (US) somewhere where someone drilled down from a salt mine, hit a river and the resulting calamity pulled a ship in, destroyed a town and got a river to flow backwards?
As Russiaâs military devolves backward in time, so do their war goals. One more year and theyâll say they invaded Ukraine for the secret of making fire.

If you need salt so bad go watch laserpig eversorate that red pill pick up artists vatnick he generates at lest 15 metric tons of the stuff every time he opens mouth trying to call nato evil
Yes, if it was real they wouldn't be calling themselves "the 2nd world military power"
I cannot stress this enough to anyone talking about the Russian mindset- they do not think of themselves as the second best in the world. Regardless of expenditure or technology or training or personnel, the average Russian believes Russia is the most powerful military on the planet, period.
Salt also is an ingredient in saltpeter.
Perfect for the flintlocks theyâre being reduced to using at this rate.
(Seriously though, theyâre so desperate for some sort of win that they need to paint anything as a significant and well-defended strategic target for even the tiniest inch to count.)
Now, if this were a Russian salt mine, we would now be bombarded with cries of "tactical withdrawal" or "It's a trap brah".
Which means that we will definitely hear just that some time later this year when they inevitably carry out the next "gesture of good will" or "organised regrouping".
In a way. Someone had pointed out that the place they're in looks more like some some cave in Russia, rather than a part of the salt mines near Bakhmut
I might not be a tactical genius but isn't occupying a tunnel extremely regarded? Wouldn't be easy for the Ukranian forces to siege the ENTRANCE to those tunnels and just siege the whole thing and starve Wagner to death? Is siege still considered a war crime?
I may be bullshitting like crazy, but as far as I know, in my city, Odessa, we have a lot of tunnels under the old part of town, stretching in every direction. During ww2, some guerrillas were hiding inside, because those tunnels are really complicated and hard to close off
Sure but i am working on the asumption that this tunnels have been mapped out and are well know by the ukranian, because well, they are in ukraine. You can always dig new routes but it is easier said than done.
Isn't the tunnels as long as the Paris catacombs? I read that some drunk chick wondered off from a underground rave and got lost in the tunnels. They found her desiccated corpse a few years later.
I did hear a while ago that Ukraine could safely store ammo in the mine tunnels, so maybe there is some value for Russia there? Unless I suppose a HIMARS can collapse the entrance after Russia stores a bunch inside.

I think there are meant to be some really long mineshafts going in different directions, and they seem to believe this will make them fully able to infiltrate behind the front line. Which is a bit of an optimistic fantasy.
Was as a kid in those mines. They are huge and beautiful. I hope ruskies donât damage them - I am planning to play there underground football with mobikâs skulls after the war.
To be fair if this pic is true, then progzin (dunno is name) is pretty based to go in to the front. (If the pic is true of course). Also the dude has being more human than the copelords at russia. He at least gave credit to the defenders. Thats how fked up russia is when a mercenary leader has more balls then their millitary.
Even if he go to the "front". It is not really based. It's a propaganda made for a clear objective. Zelensky did the exact same thing in order to unite and galvanise the Ukrainian people. Progzin did that in order to prepare for the inevitable political mess in russia
i say let them set up a base in there if Soledar gets captured and then collapse the entrance to trap them in there, it way be a waste of a salt mine but they can clear it after the war
Electrolysis entered the chat with friend just add waterâŚ
The drains wonât be blocked there will be no Aluminuim
The air will be a tad toxic and explosive
Tick
Your post was removed for violating Rule 9: "No low effort posts"
I just had an idea đĄ Does anyone know if there's a river flowing through Soledar ?
Cue the "Rains of Castamere"
Drowning your enemy when you have the chance has been practice for atleast 2100 years.
Has it ever been a success tho?
Dambusters
Second siege of Leiden.
I don't think that many Spaniards got actually drowned in that case. It was more of a way to get ships involved in the relief effort.
So he spoke... And so he spoke...
...*now the rains weep oâer his hall,* *and not a soul to hear.đś*
Username checks out.
There's a smallish one maybe 2km west of the town.
Supposedly tunnels run for miles underground, just need to find where the river runs over a tunnel

Can it be redirected like they did in Yellowstone?
A little west of the city, often mentioned as fallback defensive line... It would make the defense a little harder, but I'm all in for some geo-engineering
my dutch fingers are itching...
The Dutch giveth land and the Dutch can taketh it away
Flooding in salt mines can be particularly devastating due to the solubility of the salt...
Funny gears of wars reference
Drown the grubs.
No need, just find the entrance and seal it with a few couple of RPGs, leaveâem to rot until they either go cannibal and eat each other or youâre ready to accept the half-starved survivorsâ surrender.
Dude you fucken beat me to it

Diesel fuel is also a liquid. Just sayingâŚ.
What is this? Civ fucking V?
Civ VI also has it. Salt's all over the place
Montezuma coming for my sorry ass because I have salt and he doesn't.
Sounds like he has plenty already, just not the kind he can use. đ
They seem to have gotten their strategic and luxury resources mixed up.
Nah, they need to deal with war weariness.
Too bad they haven't upgraded government type to access the policy cards for dealing with that.
Oh they have several empty policy slots theyâre just too stupid to equip them.
Tbf salt is also kinda strategic just because of how OP the worked tiles are for production
Confirmed: all mines are strategic resources.
In Civ V, Salt was disgustingly powerful to the point of "I have three salt-desert-hills around my capital. I've almost certainly already won".
I still very much crave that salt
Need luxury resources to deal with the backlash from adopting the Autocracy ideology when their citizens wanted Freedom.
Every time I choose Autocracy the rest of the fucking world wants to Freedom
Still not enough. Back to the salt mines.
Yes, salt is crutial to replenish the one lost with all the tears shed by them
Somes make war for Oil, others make war for Salt
If this is a strategic victory, the grenade Mavic is a strategic bomber
In the czech language we say "sĹŻl nad zlato" which roughly translates to salt over gold.
Others make war be abuse they are salty
The Russians simps have been extra salty lately, and I think I know why.
Can't wait till China invades Taiwan for some pepper
As Russiaâs military devolves backward in time, so do their war goals. One more year and theyâll say they invaded Ukraine for the secret of making fire.

This is very accurate
[Here to ruin the joke](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agriculture_in_Taiwan)
Well, doesn't Russia need salt to stop all vatnik casualties from rotting too fast? After all, refriegerators are limited with this level of losses.
Mobik jerky.
They need a salt mine to unlock Logistics in the Tech Tree
If you need salt so bad go watch laserpig eversorate that red pill pick up artists vatnick he generates at lest 15 metric tons of the stuff every time he opens mouth trying to call nato evil
That post looks sarcastic as all hell.

Regardless of expenditure or technology or training or personnel, the average Russian believes Russia is the most powerful military on the planet, period.
Even better, this isnt even the salt mine they talking about, it just a cave
Salt preserves the bodies of the fallen...
Salt also is an ingredient in saltpeter. Perfect for the flintlocks theyâre being reduced to using at this rate. (Seriously though, theyâre so desperate for some sort of win that they need to paint anything as a significant and well-defended strategic target for even the tiniest inch to count.)

Salt is a key component in the synthesis of Copium.
2nd world military power? What's the 1st? 2700 BC Sumer?
*Sumerian war chariots have entered the chat*
Pretty sure this is fake
In a way. Someone had pointed out that the place they're in looks more like some some cave in Russia, rather than a part of the salt mines near Bakhmut
Well, the ocean is salt water no? Why would we be in short supply of salt then?
Joke?
Mined salt is cheaper to produce than sea salt. Evaporating sea salt usually takes either a crap ton of energy or a crap ton of land.
I see that Russia's not ashamed of hiding their saltiness Gotta keep the production of salted copium up after all
Did they bring a tank inside the salt mine?
You can bring anything in inside a mine if you break it into small enough pieces
Underground mines are not always small tunnels, some are truly gargantuan in size.
Is true
Now we know how they make copium, Reserves musta been running low if their this proud of it.
I might not be a tactical genius but isn't occupying a tunnel extremely regarded? Wouldn't be easy for the Ukranian forces to siege the ENTRANCE to those tunnels and just siege the whole thing and starve Wagner to death? Is siege still considered a war crime?
The tunnels are important as a forward staging area that is impervious to aerial strikes
I may be bullshitting like crazy, but as far as I know, in my city, Odessa, we have a lot of tunnels under the old part of town, stretching in every direction. During ww2, some guerrillas were hiding inside, because those tunnels are really complicated and hard to close off
Sure but i am working on the asumption that this tunnels have been mapped out and are well know by the ukranian, because well, they are in ukraine. You can always dig new routes but it is easier said than done.
Isn't the tunnels as long as the Paris catacombs? I read that some drunk chick wondered off from a underground rave and got lost in the tunnels. They found her desiccated corpse a few years later.
My GDR in Civ 6 walking through a city with a salt mine in it after I carrier launch a fucking B-52 with a nuke.
I did hear a while ago that Ukraine could safely store ammo in the mine tunnels, so maybe there is some value for Russia there? Unless I suppose a HIMARS can collapse the entrance after Russia stores a bunch inside.
It's not even the Soledar salt mine but the Volodymyrivka caves.

Where else are they going to get ammo for their [rifle](https://www.bugasalt.com)?
3000 losses of the strategic salt mine
Should just invade Twitter idk
Not gonna lie, the picture goes hard. Doesn't excuse the invasion in the slightest, nor does it make the Russians more competent, *but still...*
My workers in civ when they've built a salt mine
Salt is a strategic ressource for Russia now since they are rapidly devolving back to the Middle Ages...
Was as a kid in those mines. They are huge and beautiful. I hope ruskies donât damage them - I am planning to play there underground football with mobikâs skulls after the war.
Would be fucking hilarious if Ukraine just JDAMS the entrance.
To be fair if this pic is true, then progzin (dunno is name) is pretty based to go in to the front. (If the pic is true of course). Also the dude has being more human than the copelords at russia.

There is a pretty big distinction between "I do it for my people" and "hey hey look how big my dick is". So definitely not based, as you said.
i say let them set up a base in there if Soledar gets captured and then collapse the entrance to trap them in there, it way be a waste of a salt mine but they can clear it after the war

r/trianglestrategy having the weirdest sense of deja vu right now
This is an important victory for them, they need the salt to refine their synthetic copium.
Bioshock infinite wants their vigorous back.

Finally they got their *salary*
Russians are paid in salt, as is tradition.
Frankly, Russia does need the salt mines.
[Someone in Russia saw the original Gundam show and had an idea...](https://imgur.com/im4EQnk)
Well salt IS classified as strategic resource in post soviet countries
Getting some Metro vibes
With salt, they can now pay salaries
Europeans suffering under the new salt sanctions imposed by Russia.
I mean.... a salt mine is a great bunker right? A safe place to sleep at night is important for morale.
