    The Ukrainians are trying to use "something" like this by sappers (in the rear) who are clearing the fields of mines. Supposedly quite effective when undetected and stepped on mines such as the PFM-1, which contain only 40g of explosive, but you can lose a leg if you step on it.

    Long version of the above.  The tank supporting them backs onto a mine and a twitter post says his HUMVEE was hit by RU artillery.  YT thinks it's russian so subs aren't great.
    Edit - this is the same footage as the post above and has interviews, background and drone images to give overall the picture.

    Some pretty intense footage of 59th OMBR attacking trench lines.  Youtube thinks it's russian so auto-gen subs aren't great.  One of the HUMVEE's hits a mine, I really hope the infantryman caught in the blast came out ok.

    Was watching this time lapse and I wondered if it would be worth hitting all the repair equipment on the Kerch bridge with a couple of these missiles to slow down the repair process.  Too difficult or not worth the trouble/there are better targets?  Edit - answered my own question, it's not in range yet.

    Long interview with two former US servicemen now in southern Ukraine.  They discuss lots of things, I'm about half way through and so far they've talked about river operations near Kherson, the UKR offensive, building an NCO corps.

    Official information about today's Kinzhal strike. It was directed not against Kyiv, but to strike Kolomyya airfield in Ivano-Frankivsk oblast, western Ukraine. Since 2004 this airfield was inactive and only during 2014-2016 it was restored as reserve airfield. It has tough conrete bunkers for aircraft. 
    Four Kinzhals were launched, probably at least two of them entered in Ukrainain airspace from north of Kyiv oblast and turned out in range of Patriot. Real laucnhes were accompanied with active EW imitations of false launches. One missile was shot down, I heard four explosions (2 missile at each Kinzhal), so likely we couldn't hit the second missile and it could broke through. 
    Press-secreter of Air Forces Command made a statement, three missiles hit the area of Kolomyya airfield, according to his words "enemy targeted our young pilots, who prepare themselves for tarining on F-16". One of theese missiles impacted near the private house and killed 8 y.o. boy. Nearest yards are in 1 km from airfield (it's about "precision").    
    Here on the photo a Volodymyr Balabanyk, the boy, killed in this strike

    Now that the landing ship is fixed in place, it would be nice if UKR had the capability to hit it with something...

    Been reading a few tweets claiming that UKR managed to capture battalion commander, one Major Tomov, in a raid over the river near Kherson.
    Believe this is translated Telegram posts relating to the above describing what happened from the RU side
     
    And these have been posted in the same thread, go-pro footage of a river raid.  Can't be sure it's tehs same action, the text claims it is I think.

    Whoa, there buddy.
    Both my wife and I are lifelong runners. She once described my legs to someone else as dangerously sexy. The same can be said of her. Even today at age 68, she has the legs of a 30 year old. (I'm 66 and we both still run). Last week I was halfway through a 5 mile run, passed a lady on the sidewalk, as I moved out into the street to pass her (I don't like brushing past people as they seldom here you coming and you can scare them half to death by saying "On your left"). Got about 50 feet past her, hopped back on the sidewalk, and she yells out "Great legs!!!"  
    Still got it. 🙂
    So, engineers CAN be sexy. Even retired ones.
    Funny thing was I was right near my turnaround point so I got to run back past her face-to-face this time. She did not seem embarrassed in the least, just smiled and waved. 
    Dave
    PS - Our first date was a lunchtime run. We worked at adjacent companies. I ran to her front gate, we went for a nice run down by Long Island Sound, and chatted a lot along the way. Very public, so very safe.

    Take this as deeply insulting good Sir! Much more so than dissing by ignoring, engineers are people too!
    Ok, maybe you are right! Garbagemen are probably more successful than most engineers on Tinder. Particularly with this type of profile content, engineering humor. Ha! Ha! Funny!

    Ok, nobody likes a smart ***! I get that…
    Anyhow, interesting read for anyone who might care for some smart *** opinions.
    Edit: Damn it! Can’t even post relevant info, Danfrodo already beat me to the punch. Will see myself out!
    Edit 2: On the way out, some interesting updates about command posts familiarizing themselves with work of fellow A&D engineers.

    From a7 on a camera block with thermal, day and night cameras is standard front and rear of the tank. Also has image overlay for thermal with day/night
    They are at the edge of replacing but the tracks work just fine without rubber and generally actually have more grip.
