  1. The bent prop on the MQ-9 is a pretty good indication of the distance.
  2. Tentative report, but Russia may have just de-space powered:
  3. Mounted assault on a Russian trench line:
  4. He appeared to be already wounded and using it as a cane / crutch.
  5. Ukrainian team and drone work together to ambush Russians in the fog: Russian company eliminated:
  6. Interesting TERRA unit vid that shows them observing Pions firing HE-Frag clusters on Russian position. Also Ukrainian BMP-1s attacking same position at beginning and taking fire from RPGs and artillery:
  7. If actually Switchblade-600, it has the same warhead as latest Javelin ATGM.
  8. Ukrainians finally prove that sniping TCs in their hatches on the move from KMs away is entirely realistic:
  9. I am fine with “rules-based order” being applied to Russian illegal war in instances when it can and Russia is powerless to stop it even if it hasn’t fully solved problem of past US illegal warfare.
  10. I guess Panama can prosecute them if they can get custody of said “war criminals” in a way that the US can do nothing about. (hint: they can’t.)
  11. The bit about actively promoting genocide in Kosovo is important…
  12. I don’t think anything in the Russian Navy still uses this ammo. Possibly China still produces ammo for their Type 61 clone, but doubtful as this is a completely obsolete weapon.
  13. Pretty sad when you have to go to Navweaps to figure out Russia’s latest AFV design: http://www.navweaps.com/Weapons/WNRussian_25mm-79_2m-3.php
  14. Uncontained shaped charge explosion (projectile came from right side and detonated on one of the soldiers). Impossible to tell if ATGM or gun-launched HEAT because of low quality.
  15. Different view of that same BMP-2, showing it take direct hits from gun / ATGMs. (Don’t know why this keeps getting claimed as mine strikes. You can even see the projectile incoming on the second hit in this one.) Now here is a Russian demining operation:
  16. @sburke @Kinophile Lt. Col. Igor Shcherbak, 7th Military Base. He was one of 17 survivors to escape the encirclement of his "brigade" of 140 soldiers in September, only to later be blown up in a car while returning to base.
  17. Those look like direct hits to hull / turret, not mines.
  18. This was posted on RU channels a earlier, I think. Definitely not new.
  19. Clearly they wish to commemorate their 3-day seizure of Kyiv.
  20. Ground-launched 70mm Hydra rockets with laser guidance (APKWS). I guess they might also possibly be used on helicopters, although that would seem to require complex coordination with a ground-based designator and a lofted trajectory for the rocket. https://en.defence-ua.com/weapon_and_tech/germany_finally_sends_twenty_very_interesting_apkws_weapons_to_ukraine-5350.html
  21. @sburke @Kinophile Lt. Col. of Artillery Aleksey Serenko killed in Grad strike on his camp on Feb. 23, 2023. However, it seems he was dismissed from service in 2017, so not clear if he was again a serving officer, or a volunteer:
