Tentative report, but Russia may have just de-space powered:

NM, addressed

Mounted assault on a Russian trench line:

One of the Russians is armed with... a stick?
He appeared to be already wounded and using it as a cane / crutch.

Ukrainian team and drone work together to ambush Russians in the fog:
Russian company eliminated:

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:

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.
If actually Switchblade-600, it has the same warhead as latest Javelin ATGM.

This seems to be typical of saboteurs to leave behind a business card
This is a joke.

Ukrainians finally prove that sniping TCs in their hatches on the move from KMs away is entirely realistic:

The ‘rules based order’ being what it is…
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.

You don’t think it’s absurd to label George Bush and everyone that followed his orders to illegally invade Panama as war criminals?
Interesting concept. Bush is dead, but there are still thousands alive, do you think we should prosecute them according to your principles? Or would that be absurd?
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.)

Has the US State Dept said anything about this?
I didn’t think that sort of target was off limits.
The NATO bombing of the Radio Television of Serbia headquarters occurred on 23 April 1999, during the Kosovo War. It formed part of NATO's aerial campaign against the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, and severely damaged the Belgrade headquarters of Radio Television of Serbia (RTS). Other radio and electrical installations throughout the country were also attacked.[2] Sixteen employees of RTS died when a single NATO missile hit the building. Many were trapped for days, only communicating over mobile phones. The television station went to air 24 hours later from a secret location.[3][4] NATO Headquarters justified the bombing with two arguments; firstly, that it was necessary "to disrupt and degrade the command, control and communications network" of the Yugoslav Armed Forces, and secondly, that the RTS headquarters was a dual-use object which "was making an important contribution to the propaganda war which orchestrated the campaign against the population of Kosovo".[2] The BBC reported that the station was targeted because of its role in Belgrade's propaganda campaign
The bit about actively promoting genocide in Kosovo is important…

So does anything else in the Russian land forces use the same ammo as this thing? Or do they not expect them to live long enough to need reloading.
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.

I had seen a picture of one a few days ago. But the thought that they did this more than once?
Just get them to chase you across a steep slope. Yikes.
Pretty sad when you have to go to Navweaps to figure out Russia’s latest AFV design:

It was only a matter of time:

Heavy discussion: is this "death ray" was PARM or ATGM ? )))
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.
-
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:
-
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.

Come now! Oh ye of little faith...
EDIT: Damn you, Beleg!!
Those look like direct hits to hull / turret, not mines.

This was posted on RU channels a earlier, I think. Definitely not new.

Some rumors roam that Russians can strike on 26-28th.
Clearly they wish to commemorate their 3-day seizure of Kyiv.

And what could that be?
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.

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:

The bent prop on the MQ-9 is a pretty good indication of the distance.
