The fall of a Ukrainian 5V55 S-300 SAM missile near the town of Hrubieshu in Poland once again confirmed reports of problems with these missiles. The video shows the recent launch of a Ukrainian missile of the S-300 air defense system. The rocket flies a little and the rocket's solid fuel explodes, this can be seen from the characteristic explosion that occurs in such cases. The fact is that the shelf life of S-300 air defense missiles is 20 years. The last Ukrainian missiles were fired in 1990, then they simply tried to extend their shelf life at the Zhulyansk machine-building plant "Vizar". It turns out that the shelf life of Ukrainian S-300 air defense missiles has already been exceeded by almost 13 years, so the number of cases of their self-destruction and incorrect operation will grow every day. The problem with missiles is also relevant for the Buk-M1 air defense system of Ukraine, there have already been cases of their incorrect operation.


The Ukrainian engineering barrier vehicle IMR-2 was hit by a Russian Lancet kamikaze drone. The IMR-2 obstacle blocking machine is designed to create columned paths in difficult places for the advancement of troops, in simple terms, the machine makes temporary roads. IMR-2 also creates passages in minefields.


The President of Ukraine showed footage of the assembly of Ukrainian sea drones. The same kamikaze boats were recently used in Sevastopol. The length of the new marine drone of Ukraine will be 5.5 meters, the cruising range is 800 km, and the operational range is 400 km. It is reported that the drone has an autonomy of up to 60 hours. The total mass of the sea drone is about 1000 kg, the mass of the warhead is up to 200 kg. The travel speed can reach 80 km/h. The cost of the drone is currently $10,000. Now in Ukraine, a fundraising for the industrial production of this type of drones has been announced.


Combat use of Russian Lancet kamikaze drones in Ukraine. A howitzer of the Ukrainian army fell under the impact of the Lancet drone, but it was not possible to establish the model of the weapon.


Footage of a Ukrainian-made Humvee armored vehicle hit by a mine has been published. The video was filmed during one of their attacks by mobile groups of the Ukrainian army, there were only two Humvee vehicles in the group, the second Ukrainian armored personnel carrier left.

One would certainly hope this is failed interception by Ukrainian AD, because otherwise the alternative is someone deliberately tried to launch a false flag operation in an attempt to trigger WW3 innit?

We have a saying in spanish that goes "Calling out to the devil is not the same as seeing him arrive". A big chunk of the countries calling for WW3 will balk at the prospect of it actually happening, particularly those more vocal about it.

Yeah i read the news... and 10K USD.. the thing is already steal for its capability. The RCS characteristics can be improved but it's already relatively smaller than Submarine periscope. That 10K must be the "Desired" price from mass production. The real price of first articles must have been several times more.

Also crowdfunding, well i guess the Western fund aid does not include boosting Ukrainian's own indigenous weapon production.

Started to thinking about the bridges of Dnieper.

Best part of them Soviet made, means they needs somewhere between 10-50 500kg warhead to destroy/disable them for long time.


As I quickly counted is around 9-10 railway bridges on the Dnieper, means there is a need for 100-500 missile to effectivly diable them.

Now, looks like Russia buying 200 of Fateh -110 , that should be enought to restrict for several weeks the railway trafic on the Dnieper, if they strike the electrical network and maintanance depots of the railway as well.

Based on the experience of the Antonovsky bridge, maybe 5-10 missile/road bridge will make them unsuitable for tanks.

There is full information blackout regards of strike targets in Ukriane, so we have no clue if they strike Dnieper bridges or not.

But this should be the time, considering that huge part of military assets left on the wrong side of the river, AND they need lot of supply , including generators, heating fuel and diesel for the units in Donetsk.

Lancet takes out an 30N6E engagement radar of an Ukranian S300

Another Lancet strike on the hiding spot of an OSA. Seems to have a warhead big enough to go through the roof and cause the Osa to burn down

Oskosh supply truck disabled by a mine

Apparently an Italian RQ-4 was flying around Poland and Hungary when the accident happened.

CAESAR hit by a Lancet drone.
