The War in the Ukraine

[Abominable]

I mean, couldn't Ukraine mate EO turret/radar, laser range finder, ballistic computer to like say ZPU or ZSU-23 and have them hunt those Gerans?

Most sites that need to be defended are located in civilian areas so a tracked vehicle would be unnecessary. I doubt Ukraine has many ZPUs to spare anyway.

Would be better off using a flatbed truck and combining it with a small calibre belt fed machine gun and whatever electronic gizmos.

A soldier of the Russian PMC Wagner spoke about the battles in Ukraine near Bakhmut. To complete the picture of what is happening, the video of the battles is combined with real videos of the battles of the Ukrainian army in Bakhmut.

Ukraine received about 30 German ZSU "Gepard". The Gepard self-propelled anti-aircraft gun was adopted by Germany in 1973, and by 2012 all vehicles were decommissioned due to obsolescence. ZSU "Gepard" is the most complex armored vehicle in Germany, the preparation of its crew of 3 people takes the most time from all German armored vehicles. It is worth noting that now there is a problem with the supply of ammunition for this installation, Germany does not make them anymore. "Gepard" can be compared with the Soviet ZSU-23-4 "Shilka" developed in 1964. In terms of the rate of fire, "Gepard" loses to "Shilka", 550 rounds per minute, the rate of fire of "Shilka" is 3400 rounds. But "Gepard" wins in terms of firing range. Gepard is equipped with a search radar with a target detection and tracking range of up to 18 km. On the sides of the tower, 35-mm automatic guns are installed with a firing range of up to 5 km and a height reach of 4 km. Ammunition installation 340 shells for each gun. Gepard is built on the chassis of the Leopard 1 tank, weighs 47 tons and has a top speed of 65 km/h.

Russian Lancet kamikaze drones have become a problem in Ukraine. The number of cases of strikes by these drones is growing every day. For the first time, a marine target, a Project 58155 Gyurza-M boat of the Ukrainian Navy, was hit by a Lancet drone in Ukraine. The video also shows attacks on the Norwegian self-propelled guns M109A3 of the Ukrainian army, one of them exploded ammunition. A blow to the radar station 36D6-M of the S-300 air defense system of Ukraine. For an unknown reason, the 9K35 Strela-10 air defense system of the Ukrainian army did not notice the Lancet drone and was destroyed, the air defense missiles exploded.

The Italian 155-mm FH-70 howitzers received by the Ukrainian army came under attack from the Russian Lancet kamikaze drone.

Lancet strikes. This appears to be Ukrainian MLRS.

Ukrainian Buk takes it while moving. Both confirms that the drone chases after moving targets.

So what now? Russia surrenders Kherson? Zero good news for Russia since months, Kherson could be another huge morale blow for Russian troops, it seems Russia may even lose the war. In that case Putin may not last long, guys at Zhongnanhai must be be wary of that outcome, it could be dangerous time.

 

[sheogorath]

If the Russians decide to pull out of Kherson on their volition despite spending resources holding the Ukrainians for weeks now, "goodwill gesture" or not, then indeed Putin is a moron and should stick to being a Foreing Relationship Minister to play all the mindgames he wants and stay out of waging wars.

 

[baykalov]

All the Russian and Z channels are terribly disappointed, although nothing official has been announced yet.

Rybar writes that leaving Kherson would be extremely mocking of the Russian army and the Russian people.
