Further example, dousing of the RU narrative about a chaotic withdrawal. ZSU fell back in order.

I noted this one a few pages back. Apparently they're effective but obviously only at close range, ie about 1-2 hundred metres. In urban environment they are more effective. I'm curious why with FPV drones we have not yet seen a gun/rocket armed drone hunting down enemy observation drones. Now that would be an interesting gun cam. Surely there's a utility in having a CAP available...? On the ground, the ready to go. If not yet I assume there's several simple reasons.

Hope they get out, if true.

A little humour:

Narp. There's a long way to go before Russia "wins". A long, long way, and that's a very subjective, malleable endpoint. I don't see how Russia can have won if doesn't dominate the Black Sea and UKR is handling that fight just fine with little foreign aid.

Seconded.

Death by Putinitis.

Interesting. I'd wonder just how 5th gen are are their "5th Gen" fighters. Not casting aspersions, but as someone said, the 4-->5th is a hell of a leap...

Video gives a much better sense of just how large an explosion. You can definitely see how the earth is quite soft, but the sheer force shown is still unsettling.

Hoping it's true. Avdiivka will fall shortly, buit it seems ZSU will manage the withdrawal decently. I hope. But there's another potential Rus offensive near Robotyne. Enough fires and eventually you run out of firemen...

@Maciej Zwolinskigood point ref Rus letting ASW rot away. Definitely a possible operational and tactical weakness there.
