    Guy designs tanks, I would rather trust him in this respect. One could check frame after frame, for a second turret looks roughly like characteristic Bradley shape. But yeah, quality is not perfect.

    T-80BWM reportedly shoting and hiting Ukrainian Bradley. One of first recorded encounters between donated heavy Western and Russian equipment. Could be finishing off abandoned vehicle, though.

    That's... a whole different discussion. Suffice to say the US relationship with Israel has become entangled with US domestic politics to the extent that the Administration has limited room to maneuver. It also doesn't help that Netanyahu and Biden despise each other.

    As scary as selfmoving mines sound they really arent a competition to normal mines.
    A basic at mine takes a plastic casing, 3-5kg of explosives and a pressure plate to disable or destroy any vehicle that drives over it.
    it costs practically nothing to produce, can be produced by the billions, easily laid mechanically, are practically undetectable and will last until something detonates it.
    A selfmoving at mine needs the same basics but has to add a way to move, sensors to find its targets, a guiding system, energy storage and radios if it wants to selforganize with other mines. 
    All those things are fairly expensive and relatively difficult to build. They will also be quite large and cannot be hidden in the ground. their batteries will run dry and if they communicate you can find the entire minefield with an ew vehicle.

    Some our "armchair generals" already plan such things - to attack on the section Dniprorudne - Vasylivka, when the water will go further and the bottom will dry. 
    But historically this wasn't flat place. This was a so-called "Great Meadow" - homeland of Zaporozhian Cossaks. The region of southands small rivers, creecks, tiny lakes - it in more modern times called "Dnipro plavni" - the meadows, which flooded after snow melting. 
    Locals already are finding old artefacts on the bottom of reservoir. After the war it will be holiday for "dark archeologists" 
    Old pistole or sawn-off rifle

    Likely WWII German graves washed out by water
    Wrecked vessel

    The place of old bridge, I can't understand where it can be... There wasn't bridge between Nikopol and Kamyanka, only a ferry. Germans tried to build, but hadn't a time, only several concrete pierces were seen from water. 

    And here is a fragment of German map for 1942 how looked this place, when water reservoir doesn't exist

    UKR serviceman in lower tweet about troubles with mine removing. Unclear he told about usual situation or particularly about current breakthrough
    Our mine clearing - it's pizda. One hasn't communication with a driver, other just rejects to drive [on mission], the third didn't arrive at all, the forth has launch fail of his "Gorynych" [UR-77]. How it's sicking this planning

    Now almost all "expert information" has one source - Russian TG bloggers and rare videos, mostly of Russian origins for 7-9 of June. Cooper repeated in own interpretation all messages of RU milibloggers, posted here - nothing more. 
    >Ukrainian reports are indicating a break-through of the first line of defences in the Lobkove area
    This is fun. Russians told Lobkove was under permanent shelling of small-arms and mortars during several weeks, so the village was in grey zone and only before UKR offensive they deployed a squad there for watching. So it was real "breakthrough". As you could see on the video, Russians after shelling just fled and UKR squad seized the empty village. Though, this wasn't "PR victory", Lobkove now uses for transferring of troops and vehicles to outflank Russians in Pyatykhatky

    Russian MoD claims UKR maritime kamikadze drones tried to attack medium intelligence ship "Priazovye" of BSF, which maintained security of gas pipelines "Turkish stream" and "Blue stream". Allegedly all drones were destroyed (this ship pr.864, NATO code Vishya, has 2 x 6 AK-306 30 mm guns)
    PS. Other Rusiian source claims there were 6 drones, which attaked the ship in 300 km SE from Sevastopol

    Hm.... Julian Roepke wrote he had a talk with German governmental representatives, who told him Iris-T radar wasn't taken out - Russian drone hit very close and even set fire something near radar, but it still in service.

    I wouldn't call 20% of the Ukrainian Bradley inventory "minor".

    I specifially mentioned, i know losses are invitable, what im talking about is vuhledar style attacks, that achieve nothing but kill crews.
    Driving over it the first time, ok, a 2nd time? Right next to the other killed vehicles? People had a good laugh when Russia did it now this falls under a normal, expected per the book military command?
    Inb4: i know its not the whole front.. - but does that excuse this?

    I think it is the actual counter offensive, but I don't think it will be like in WW1 where officers suddenly blow their whistles and hundreds of thousands of troops climb out of their trenches and charge forward in one big wave.
    This wave is probably going to be more like those tsunamis where there's no big breaker but the water just starts rising and keeps rising.

    Napkin math says the missile was launched over >10km away. Not much to do than take the hit while in contested airspace and on the offensive in that terrain.

    This (second video) looks like a KA-52 hit on a Bradley. Note that the vehicle fires an ATGM just before it is hit.
