I am talking about bottom attacking UGVs that simply wait for the bridgehead, or even follow on and then 12 hours later shift to close the safe lane.  Now you have F ech on the other side of a mine field with legs.  It means a re-breach, which of course can be targeted, again.  You get through that and 12 hours later it does it again.  Nothing dramatic as chain guns or lasers - just continual grinding defensive pressure on your LOCs as your heavy stuff get cut off from gas and ammunition.  You could have 1000 simple smart systems that can assess its own gaps and then fill them.
What you are describing are close-in strike UGVs - like modern day mine dogs or war pigs...that is a whole other nightmare.  We are talking about detecting and "picking off" something the size of a small lawnmower with legs that can hide anywhere and decide to strike from a few meters.  What happens when these little bastards can dig in a foot or two and simply lay dormant until they find a target?  They can be armed with offset EFPs so they really do not even need to go under the vehicle.  This is not science fiction, we are likely talking in the next 5-10 years. 
 

More info on the battle and how the footage ties into it. Russians managed to milk a lot of information war material out of this <battalion sized action.

indeed a great thing about Strykers and Bradleys is there's plenty more where these came from! 
Also, the crew survivability makes sure new personal don't need to be trained and experience can accumulate.

Bradleys is probably the best western IFV to lose. The USA will be able to replace them quickly and in large volumes. Also great crew survivability.

When looking at confirmed losses Russia keeps losing units in its rear like artillery, and Ukraine has lost almost none (none in the south). The losses are numerically larger on the Russian side still. Even the Ukrainian "bad" days are roughly similar losses on both sides. I would say these are positive early indicators for Ukraine. I would have expected Ukraine to have significantly higher losses at the start of these offensive operations than the Russians.

Agreed on the military conclusions.  

"I reconstructed and geolocated the route and losses of one of the two columns of the 47th mechanized brigade. Of course, I also used the work of other OSINT people, but many of the given locations were inaccurate and the place of the destruction of M2 and L2A6 was wrong. Freeze frames from movies added to the orientation of what was where.
This column had a difficult fate: it was surrounded by drone-corrected artillery 3x, it defeated 2 groups of mines, and finally, while overcoming the second one, it fell under the fire of Ka-52's Wihr ATGMs and ATGMs as well as artillery. Really KUDOS to the soldiers of this battalion because they went through hell that day.
P.S. location and slides from the second (west) column will be uploaded later. This is the one whose end was supposedly photoshopped."



Going 7 kilometers under drone-corrected artillery through two minefields and then getting waked by Ka-52s
