If you native Russian speaker, I can say if Russia had 10 tanks and would use them all in maneuvers, than natural bragging of Russians, would prompt bloggers and official sources to write in all articles about 10 tanks, but no - you can search by requests "T-90M Запад-2017" and all articles will tell about "танк", not "танки" or "10 танков"

In this article pointed about three contarcts. First two in 2017-19 - 10 new tanks +50 tanks upgraded from T-90A, and the third - full upgrade of all T-90A park to T-90M. But because of many technological, financial and other problems, looks like first contrat of 10 vehicles was completed only in April 2020. And no information how much were produced since 2021. Baut anyway no more than by second contract. Russians temporary rejected from T-14 Armata, because too expensive cost and technological problems. Maybe because sanctions too.

If you load the article in translator you can read it tells about a TANK not TANKS. Also it uses Russian word "obraziets" for T-90M - means "specimen, sample", so this not serial tank, just experimental vehicle for test.

@sburke @Kinophile +1 mayor Mayor Dmitriy Stakheev. Killed 29th of Marth. No info about the unit. Confirmed by Russian media.

As I know Borodianka several times was an arena of heavy clashes between two forces. First battle probably was a meeting engagement along central street. Russian aviation bombed all along this way and there most heavy detructions, which burried many citizens under ruins. But still unknown how much of civilians were exactly executed like in Bucha. In Hostomel in one of garages were found 11 bodies. Locals told Russian have been took per 1-2 citizens like live targets for sniper trainings and then all dead bodies were collected in the garage.

Why this is a not good idea - to sneak too close to the enemy tank, which have to be knoked out

During these maneuvers only one T-90M and one BMPT experimental specimens were demonstrated. Just like "See all, what we have now!". But there is not tank unit, armed with T-90M. Here the Russian source: https://bmpd.livejournal.com/2849936.html First serial T-90M in troops - April 2020 and not earlier.

T-90A also can throw a turret

No, helicopters hit oil depot after this strike. Theese are different episodes.

@The_Capt Minister of Foreign Affairs Dmytro Kuleba on the meeting of NATO countries ministers of defenses: "I regret to say this, but this is true: the battle for Donbas will remind you WWII with large-scale operations, maneuvers, participation of thousands tanks, armored vehicles, planes, artillery. This will not be local operation, based on what we see from preparations of Russia to this. Russian has own plan, we have own. And outcome of this battle will be decided on the battlefield" So, as I said recently, "light infanty" tactic on Donbas will be less useful. Here is more dense troops deployment, clear frontline, minefields, trenches, strongpoints, Russians will have more short and defended routes of supply. Here will be completely other war.

This is SW outskitrs of Mariupol. Probably BTR-4 hit with 30 mm canon

Western analytics often overestimate Russian capabilities. Indeed first T-90M went to service in April 2020. Here is article of manufacturer Uralvagonzavod about first T-90M for 4th Guard "Tamanskaya" Tank Division: http://www.uralvagonzavod.ru/presscenter/smi/883 Probably first tanks are just upgraded existing T-90A, so I suppose T-90AM are recently produced T-90A hulls with M upgrading and T-90M are new-manufactured tanks. But for simplification they all now will be named T-90M.

Just a bright ginger cat inside all this devastation... Apocalypse now.

This why Ukraianian artilelry now works mostly by platoons or even by 1-2 pieces, but rare by whole battery. Maybe this give less firepower, but you get flexibillity and survivability. And the tons of steel per square kilomiter compensate with more precise work due to drone usage, special sotware for artillery firing calculations and personnel training. But working by platoons and by individual guns requires additional spotters and a drone in each platoon, so platoon leaders and even gun comamnders should have spotter skills in full volume. Also at least each platoon should have some artillery equipment like artillery compass. For example in Russian artiillery all this, like in Soviet army have only battery control platoon, so they have limited capabilities to work by lesser units. Though, for the case of situation on the video, the full-battery salvo should be better

Some about the scale of usage of commercial drones. This is statictic of one volunteer fund Back-and-Alive: Translation: "copters" are flying away very well. From 1500, which we have bought at the beginning of March, only about 200 left [in stock]. Yesterday we have bought AUTELs [AUTEL EVO II - most popular now model in force structures] on 75 millions UAH [this is 1500-1800 drones] and Baltic "Atlases" are expecting soon.

@sburke @Kinophile Yes, confirmed by Russian media: https://samara.tsargrad.tv/news/na-ukraine-pogib-voennyj-komendant-samary-podpolkovnik-georgij-petrunin_525395 He didn't belong to 15th brigade. He was military commandant. Commandant service providing garrison security, military traffic control, justice, law enforcement among military units. Military police, for examlpe is a part of commandent service. Looks like in Ukraine he could be a chief of military police or some kind of this.

Dead Russian soldier with his ugly spoils - golden cross, chain and... golden teeth crowns

Too few informatin from there, alas.

748th operative purpose battalion of 46th separate operative purpose brigade of Rosgvardia, Groznyi, Chechnya. There is 141st special motorized regiment in composition of this brigade - this is part of "Kadyrov's troops"

Our troops is trying to take the town Beryslav, this can cut off Russian forces around Velyka Olexandrivka area
