Lancet strikes at a Ukrainian tank. Status unclear but my bet the tank would be at most come out of it only damaged.


Russian ATGMs used against Ukrainian positions. ATGMs are more likely to be used against non tank targets in this war.


Looks like a dead Gepard, struck from the back.

Perhaps we will see a drone-specific active protection system (APS) like the Chinese GL5, but instead of ATGM/RPGs, it can hit incoming suicide drones. Perhaps using laser technology... Can GL5s sensors detect an FPV size drone?

I think in the future SHORAD needs to be heavier armored. The lethality of guided artillery is too strong in modern battlefield.

I think general APS is more important than counter UAV, since UAV borne attacks are only really effective against lightly armored/stationary/abandoned vehicles.

Whereas we have repeatedly seen atgm/rpg take down moving tanks. Might be more economical to just mount jammers on tanks.

Bakhmut is like the real life of movie of Enemy at the Gates

I did not think that one day in our lives in Europe we would have such a war of this length

seems like Bakhmut is no longer holding

How long is this Bakhmut story going for now? 2 months, or is it 3 months?

Was this supposed to be the grand Russian offensive that everyone was awaiting for?
Ukraine still pouring troops in... Why going elsewhere to grind them ? The UKraine troop concentration there is opening other fronts like Marinka and Adviika. I Thing they will fall before Bakhmut because Bakhmut is an Ukrainian troops magnet.
