I played a quick battle, with downpour and mud. at Huge rough-water-town map. I was the defender, with a reinforced Ukrainian company. The Russians attacked with a reinforced BTG. But it became too realistic, so it was not fun to play. 2/3 of the Russian vehicles got stuck in the mud.
 
I have a picture from the game, what it looked like.
This is ingame screenshot after 25 min of play

At the same time. They undoubtly used their army elite. The 1st Guard Tank Army. Both the 2nd MRD, and 4th Guards Tank Divisions tanks, and IFV are blown up, or captured. Lots of T-80U's from 4 GTD on picture. 

Chechen fighters are extremly capable. But under Russian Command, even Delta/Seals would loose their bite!

Big thanks @Haiduk I have unfortunately no likes left. So I give you a +1 here! Sadly some Russians, even living in Sweden. Only watching Russian propaganda, and think the Nazi regime is about to fall. Very, very sadly. And this is one of my best friends at my job. We have girls in the same age to!

Have no more likes today, so give you a +1 here 😃

UKR AD shot down Russian Su-25 near Markhalivka village, Kyiv oblast, enemy pilot, falling, threw bombs on the village - several buildings were ruined, 6 civilains (including children) got killed. Russian pilot ejected and even engaged our soldiers, but was shot

Looks like how it was before

Yes, but also no.
Today two Su-25 were shot down doing just that - bombing civilian buildings.
One was hit and downed with Igla of all things

I'm really liking the idea of "green men" entering western Ukraine and "capturing" Patriot missile batteries and using them against Russian aviation. And maybe even "green men" using "captured" F35s and F22s to further sweep the skies.
Turnabout is fair play...

just an hour erlier, they were the Russian elite. Now just waiting for sunflowers to grew on their bodies

Very true, and I really hope so! But I´v been suprised every year for the last +35 years since BILL 1 Came out 1985 as the first top attack missile. That Soviet, and then Russia have not developed a top attack antitank (guided) missile  😄. NLAW is not (guided) But it has a computer. So as long as the target vehickle, is at the same speed. the upp to >5 sec it takes to reach 800m. You will be fine, the tank crew at 20-800 meters will not be. And its confined space, or CS (Not Counter Strike CS). 
 
NLAW is partly a replacement for AT-4. But the AT-4 is still living for many years to come. The agressive Russians made us to in panic, restart the TOW program a year ago (Dont know wich version). And made us panic order latest version of BILL-2 for immediate use.
 
Since we did not have a proper ATGM in use. Only NLAW, AT-4, and Carl Gustaf! From 2025 we will have the French MMP ATGM in a Swedish version. And thats always the problem with Sweden. We can never, ever buy over the shelf. Always some improvments, that take years to implement. And make it tripple the price, so we cant afford the numbers we need 🙄Thats why the French MMP comes in a "Swedish expensive version" But not untill 2025! 
 
We have a new PM now though. And she is not to play with. The last days she have ordred the massive expansion of the armed forces to be hurried (and funded). And not only the "armed" one. The total defence to. Wich means food, water, shelters, Medicines, everything for war!
 
I havent woted for that party since maybe 2002. But she is becoming my favorit, and in high speed!! She made in a few days Sweden, to make its first ever export of arms, to a country in real war. (5000 AT-4 ATRL) to Ukraine. Since 1939, when Sweden sent arms to Finland during the Winter war. And almost 10.000 Swedish volunteers participated there to. To fight the guckinf Russians. Its always the Russians, before it was Soviet. But that´s the same schitt!!!

The most problematic thing for the future. Is that the Russians have captured at least 14 MBT LAW (NLAW). They have not today, any topattack ATGM. But could reverse enginere. And if they are doing well on the attack in other sectors, they might capture Javelins to! But it was probably an equation that it could happen, I hope! Both for the NLAWS, and Javelins!

It seems the parade may be a bit smaller this year.

UA SOF took out at least 4 VDV BMD-2s:
