A few moments earlier…
-
Russian MT-LB tries to drive through a Ukrainian roadblock:
-
First laser on a heavily-armored platform?
-
Huge expenditure FPV drones during assault on a Russian position. From 8:15, looks like aerial rockets being fired fairly precisely? Russians finally flushed out from last of their positions with WP.

Mini-cope:
-
Compilation of Special Unit Kraken clips, some unseen. I guess recent if leaves just turned.
Includes Russian T-72B3 obr. 2016 with mine rollers and huge amount of extra junk on it. Oh, and Russian BMP drivers making damn sure they don’t have to come back to pick up their dismounts.
-
More Avdiivka carnage. Looks like aftermath of assault that got DPICM’d at end.

Ukrainian version:
Russian version:

Shame the quality of the video is so crappy! I would like to watch that in real time without edits.
Looks like a mine plow tank in the lead with a large number of BTRs behind it, probably a full company's worth. A couple BTRs take DCIPM hits but keep on moving, but one is knocked out completely which divides the column into two segments. The lead one gets right up to what is probably its objective (treeline) and then heads back with its BTRs following it! One takes a KO hit the others keep retreating. Meanwhile, the rear portion tries to go around the knocked out BTR and no less than three hit mines and are incapacitated. The column continues to take DCIPM hits. Dismounted infantry try to get to the woodline and continue to be peppered with DCIPM.
I think we've seen some stills from the aftermath of this battle.

Longer version (Roosterfied, should have bleeped out the “ain’ts”):

Possibly most effective use of DPICM seen yet:
-
Further confirmation (not really needed):
-
Longer cut of a textbook UKR assault on Russian trenches by a small tank-IFV team (complete with smokescreens):

Are we sure they aren't just sun shielding? The Aussies have had similar things on their tanks for years just to try and keep the crews going in the sun.
From 2005;
Appears to be metal “grill” structure:

Not sure what to say about this one. Tis the season for dark comedy I guess.
-
Random image from Israel, but 1.) MBT Cope is spreading and 2.) confirmation of vertical limits of Trophy engagement (could be less, of course, but can’t be more):
-
Russian BMP runs over own dismounts trying to flee, then gets hit by RPG at close range (I think):

Interesting... On this video of Hamas attack on Israeli base at 0:14 Russian "davayte, davayte!" ("go, come on [you all]"! ) is heard. And a shout "Allakhu Akbar" before with accent very similar to Russian...
Just to note, Oz is a reliable reporter and has extensive experience in ME and Ukraine.

Russian armored advance from Pisky to Nevelske - Pervomaiske (not to Avdiivka, as claimed) was repelled
The mines that T-80BVM ran into were surface laid. What recon doing?

Second vid... lookie what I see there! A second disabled/destroyed TOS-1 in as many days. Nice to see.

That’s actually a tank wearing some form of Cope Cap, but more importantly: now we need tank-riding in CMBS also.

Well, it’s 2023, and Russia is attacking with tank-riding infantry:
-
FPV attack with very precise air burst:

T-72B3 obr.2023 “Copium”

Another Russian mine-roller tank working and dying (warning, more flaming Russians at a distance):
