Moscow Coup Chatter Explodes: Claims of Putin's Betrayal - Jason Jay Smart



Chatter indicates that Moscow’s generals are gathering in fear of their own shadows. A simmering military coup inside Russia’s General Staff is not ideological theatrics - it is a desperate, preemptive fight for survival. As battlefield failures mount, whispers trace back to Prigozhin’s ghost: mid-level officers plotting a swift seizure of power to stave off a regime purge. Ukrainian OSINT confirms gains of only 0.094% of Ukrainian land in July - the Kremlin trades generations for muddy meters. Drone interceptions, motorcycle micro-assaults, deep strikes on Saratov, and rapid leadership churn expose an unstable command structure.

Whether genuine or manufactured by the FSB, the coup narrative reveals an unraveling elite consensus surrounding Vladimir Putin. The implications are seismic: nuclear command credibility, NATO’s posture, and the upcoming US Trump meeting in Alaska. Every Russian refinery ablaze, every drone shot down, every officer sidelined deepens fissures in Kremlin cohesion for the Putin regime.

Watch now to track how Kremlin fracture points bend global deterrence—and subscribe so you never lose sight of regime collapse dynamics.

This strike shatters Moscow’s belief that its industrial core was beyond Ukraine’s reach. It’s part of a wider campaign – shutting down Sochi Airport, sparking sabotage in Bryansk, and hitting vital oil facilities. Putin now faces a war that has reached the heart of his military-industrial complex, proving nowhere is safe.

Stay tuned for in-depth analysis of the strategic consequences, the collapse of Russia’s drone warfare capacity, and Ukraine’s next moves.
