Fenris

Pretty much par for the course for the so called professional arm of the RU armed forces. My initial take on the whole thing was that the pilot took it on himself to play the clown and he screwed it up. He's lucky he didn't end up taking a swim himself.

Haven't seen one of these for a while. Is UKR still able to produce Stuga's?

Any validity to this one? What is the impact of this in Germany currently?

This was my first thought. We've seen a lot of examples over the past year showing us that not all RU servicemen are nearly as proficient or switched on as the pre-war propaganda lead everyone to believe.

Maybe UKR should pull back, create a nice bulge in the front. I mean if RU's remaining best get bogged down in street to street city fighting and UKR pull off their own Op Uranus... The effect of inflicting one of the holy grails of Soviet WW2 victories against them would really be something.

Nice story with a heartwarming outcome

This makes me glad. I saw the full clip without sound last night, the injured guy was in a bad way and very pale so I didn't watch it to the end, I thought he wasn't going to make it which made me sad.

Defending from a trench whilst being fired upon. I keep thinking someone should start mass producing those little one-eye pipe periscopes so these guys can see what's over the berm.

There's a comment on UA Weapons or Oryx that the two tanks are new, the M113 has been there a while (apparently since January). I saw a longish youtube of some UKR TD guys defending that crossroads a few days ago and the M113 is there. Found the clip, can see the M113 at 10 minutes if it doesn't go there automatically. The whole time I was watching this I was thinking/saying - "Guys, get behind some cover FFS". The russians are just down the road to the left as they approach the M113. You can see the incoming fire hitting the building next to the 113 and one of the TD men gets hit.

Drones in the clip were probably looking for infantry. Was going to say they really need something that can be a HEAT warhead, those cluster bomb sub-munitions would appear to be a perfect option.

More drone footage, interesting in that it shows a T-80 going from initial harassment to abandoned to destroyed.

Poland has been living up to what it promises so hopefully this pans out sooner rather than later

From bad to wurst. Sorry, sorry, I'll get my coat.

Some more detail in this thread (I can't verify the accuracy of the details in the thread)

Another promising development

As the comment suggests, a slight widening of the cracks in RU ranks

Looks like a tense situation, hope they're ok.

More weird equipment - UKR is getting Bradleys and Strikers, RU is getting these

From the cutting edge to a pimped out Maxim... As someone says in the comments, this is almost steampunk. Bags not carrying it though.

Always interesting to see the pieces put together to paint a bigger picture. Wish LC Zhybrov had survived. Reminds one of the price Ukraine is paying.

Glad to see some in fighting in the RU ranks. The version of the clip below is (thankfully) blurred so allows the general to retain (some) of his modesty. The thread has more details and speculation.

From a couple of weeks ago "Trench Warfare". Shows what it's like at the front. Turn on subtitles for English.

Don't hear a lot about this stuff, although I'm sure it's going on.

Regarding the RU home front I'll repost this (think it was posted up thread) - I think it demonstrates the complete control of the narrative that Moscow has over rural russians. Giving someone a dove with with a Z on it is some real cognitive dissonance, imagine giving someone a cardboard dove with a swastika on it.
