What’s HIMARS doing lately? Any success from GLSDB?

Russians reported shooting down some GLSDB. Don't know if it hit anything or if any got through.

In other news,

Destroyed Ukrainian BTR-4E and M113.


This looks like a Humvee falls victim to artillery fire.

Amazing that neither side appears to have started using APS on their armoured vehicles yet.
Isn't that only on the Armata class vehicles? Maybe T-90M? As for Ukraine the T-84 Oplot BM displayed an APS but I think they only have 5 of those tanks in inventory.

That carnage/the whole war would have a different outcome if Russia had air superiority.

There are optional APS systems like Arena-M for other tanks like T-90. But it is really expensive and it never was ordered into service.

Apparently, @SolarWarden seems to be correct, the only launcher of GL-SDB is the paper launcher…

I had no idea that these announcements were getting this bad…
MoD of Russia was quite specific about it being a GLSDB.
Maybe it was field trial and got intercepted? There should be ready soon anyways so it might actually be one.
No way to know

Actually russians lost their only T-80UM2. A soviet prototype that used Drozd-1 APS.
It got destroyed while parked along a tree line back when russians were simply moving in columns across the fields ...
It never got a chance to test the APS that we know of.
