Sorry. Getting a bit off topic.

Thanks @The_MonkeyKing, I was wondering what they were. Look nasty.

In the category of "we are very lucky they are so F-ing stupid" (not a category designed to narrow things down, I admit) we have this:
Yes, those do appear to be ERA blocks attached to the cab of a truck.
Not entirely sure what he thinks it will do for him.
He's in for a double surprise. Surprise, surprise (but just a few milliseconds apart). The clue should be in the title, Explosive Reactive Armor (ERA)...

Video of HIMARS strike on Russian military convoy
How can you tell the difference between a GMLRS rocket and an Excalibur round? Is it the fireball when it hits?

Static defenses? Really? Has Russia not learned anything in the last 80+ years?

IRIS-T SLM almost in Ukraine:
I haven't seen anyone bring this up yet but these revenge attacks remind me of The Battle of Britain when Britain accidently bombed a German city instead of a military target. Germany started attacking British cities and quit focusing on British military targets. This allowed Britain to win this particular battle. History seems to repeat itself.

The Steam price is good, but I still like having both versions. I will prolly stick with buying them on BFC or Slitherine. That’s just me though.

UKR kamikadze drone RAM II hit Russian SAM Osa (SA-8)
RAM II is short-range drone, developed by UKR company KORT. It can fly up to 55 minutes on the range 30 km, carrying 3 kg warherad (HEFRAG, HEAT, thermobaric). Cruise speed 70 km/h. Manufacturer is upplying army with small number series of theese drones, which ordering mostly in crowdfunding way. Since today Serhuy Prytula charity fund anounced fundraising for big batch of RAM II as a revange to Russins for strikes. Only for a day already 5,6 millions USD were gathered.
I wonder how many drones the $5.6 million can purchase. I can't find the cost of these.

Lets recall the Murrah federal building attack in 1995. A big truck packed full of explosives can create a LOT of damage, far more than you imagine it could.
And that was just a fertilizer bomb (ammonium Nitrate), a truck full of weapons grade explosives could easily take down a bridge. For what it's worth, it looks like either a missile or a truck bomb, one or the other.

Zeleban thank you for keeping us updated on this attack. I hope all forum members from Ukraine will let us know they're OK.

Honestly, I’m a big fan of what Elon Musk is doing in the space flight arena, but I wish he would SHUT UP about Ukraine! You can’t be an expert at everything Elon.

To sum up: new (first?) general commander on Ukrainian front is civilians killer who personally (!) shed blood in Moscow in 1991, corrupted officer who allowed diedovshchina to spread in his units, rather unsuccessfull commander and - interesting fact- another friend of Don Don Kadyrov. The last one is only thing that make him different from crowd of Russian high officer corps.
This is bittersweet news. As long as Russian commanders are expending resources trying to kill Ukrainian civilians, those resources are not being used to take out strategic military targets. That’s the sweet part. The bitter part is, of course, more civilian Ukrainian targets are hit.

If it was a truck bomb, why would a truck loaded with explosives raise a flag? There's a war on!
The video shows a lot of burning debris flying around, very indicative of an ammo explosion. Maybe even thermite? Just armchairing it.

A bit off-topic, but at 4x the size, the US uses 10x the gas compared to Germany. I thought we were squandering the stuff. What is the US doing with it?

Ouch! That little grenade really wounded a lot more soldiers than I thought it could.

Nationalization of the American oil industry? Cause that's the only way to compete. End of the day, it's countries that have governments that directly control energy production vs our American industry looking for profits. Or maybe lots of subsidies. Neither is cheap. Also the implication that OPEC needs to bow to the U.S is quite foolish. Many of the OPEC members rely on higher oil pricing to fund their governments, so end of the day, it's just business. Never been fine with the implication that Saudi Arabia needs to bow down to us like a puppet.

With Russia reinforcing their lines with thousands of under-equipped, under-trained, newly-mobilized soldiers, what is it that Ukraine most urgently needs at the moment?
Or as Secretary of Defense Austin says, providing Ukraine what it needs "for the current fight"?
More artillery and ammunition?
Western tanks, APCs, and IFVs?
Easy-to-use and support attack aircraft?I would think antipersonnel HIMARS.

Very nice! Nice patina too. I'm a collector, but most of my youngest coins are from the 5th century or earlier. I do collect some Jetons from Europe. Here is one of my favorites (one century earlier than yours):
