Fenris

It's being called the blyatmobile, saying under the turtle shell armour it's all EW equipment. A new type of AFV is born? Similarly, something that looks like a bat-sub being developed

Footage from infantryman with 3rd Assault near Avdiivka. English subs work. They end up having to pull out after being hit by mortar fire, sounds painful but hopefully not too bad, they manage to get out on their feet. Interesting ~6:30 mark to see co-ordination of command, recon and FPV operator to attack the mortar position.

FWIW - I seem to recall reading the AU frigates that went over during Desert Storm (can't remember which) were considered quite useful because they had a deck gun able to do fire missions for troops on the ground. A ship though has a whole tool kit of weapons so I think it's quite obviously a useful capability in that context. On land, I tend to agree with @Kinophile, on the proviso that there's ammunition this conflict has shown mobile artillery is in the ascendancy (edit compared MBTs). I wouldn't be surprised to eventually see the traditional direct fire MBT's becoming short to medium range precision, indirect platforms with armour and jamming to help them survive being closer to the front. More traditional tube artillery will become wheeled because it's affordable and mobility seems to be better for survival than armour at this stage.

Another area of development with this conflict - new ways to strike strategically

Noel has some close up vision of it - second clip.

Are they running low on BMPs I wonder or perhaps they feel the BMP isn't up to the task any longer. Putting all your eggs in one basket says to me those units are missing something (including common sense).

Latest 3rd Assault Brigade video. Can turn on English subs. With a bit of a recruitment pitch at the end.

Some good vision here of Challenger 2 on the training range. Includes an example of one of the things that the reporter says is an issue fielding this vehicle in Ukraine when it gets bogged in a ditch. He comments at the end re mobility and maintenance being the main problems they've been facing.

A good rebuttal of RU's alternate world view by a Polish minister at the UN

This clip is from a civilian ship that was nearby. They spot one of the drones trailing the patrol boat before the clip ends. Another clip, this time it shows what I'm guessing is the first impact Apologies if this has been posted up thread. Seeing the tail chase etc makes me wonder whether the ye olde smoke dischargers would help. If the crew has been alerted, at least to make more difficult for the drone pilot to see what/where he's hitting, or don't modern boats have smoke anymore? Have wondered the same with AFV's, the T series can dump smoke can't it? Dump smoke and hide inside, at least make it more difficult for an FPV to hit the rear turret.

I like to think that the CO of a NATO/Western unit wouldn't have put his men in that situation in the first place. Still, with so many variables, things go sideways all the time. The UKR SOF raid the other day that was wiped out on the beach is another example. Training and experience can mitigate some of the risk but there is still some risk and sometimes fate is cruel.

Passing multiple burnt out hulks of other BTR's should have told them something. I guess not.

Am thinking it clipped the curb. Too bad it didn't spontaneously combust.

Clown show.
