Ukrainian assault force with armored vehicles comes under heavy Russian fire. This is at Kremensk.


Ukrainian FPV drones took out two Russian T-72B at Avdiivka. First strikes at the tanks caused the crew to abandon the tanks, then the tanks got finished off with more attacks.


Ukrainian MLRS gets struck by a Lancet. The wings look even longer now on the drone, like a glider.


Ukrainian Strela 10 gets struck by a Lancet.

Both T-72B on the video have clearly one track disabled, maybe from mines or an ATGM hit. Getting hammered after that with drones make the crew bail out for sure. Just waiting still in artillery range is not a good option anyway...

Would be interesting to train their crews to close these damn hatches after leaving the tank...would be way easier to salvage them later than letting small drones toss grenades in it to finish them. It's operational stupidity to leave the hatches open.

Forgot to mention the first video here was the second Ukrainian counterattack against one of the Russian salients at Bakhmut. While the first one focused on the northern pincer and ended disastrously, the second attack was on the southern pincer and ended as disastrously. The MO remains the same --- column of armored vehicles on the road, drone spots the columns, here comes the artillery spam. Same thing happened on the Ukrainian probing attacks on Zaporzhyzhia and the Russians attacking Ugledar.

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.

Hard kill APS are bothersome for the risk of kill your own infantry and even disabling apc around your tank. It's like shooting buck shot or shaped charge to cover an area around the tank.

If you are lone pushing in a tank column it's nice but for the other situation the switch need to be at off.

It's expensive and somewhat difficult to use in combined arm.

MOSCOW, March 30. /TASS/. Russian air defense forces intercepted a Ukrainian Grom-2 ballistic missile and shot down a Mi-8 helicopter over the past day during the special military operation in Ukraine, Defense Ministry Spokesman Lieutenant-General Igor Konashenkov reported on Thursday.
...
during the last 24-hour period, they intercepted a Grom-2 operational/tactical missile, three rockets of the HIMARS multiple launch rocket system, and also destroyed two Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles near the communities of Novoandreyevka and Zelyony Gai in the Donetsk People’s Republic,"
...
"In the area of the settlement of Grebennikovka in the Sumy Region, a Ukrainian Buk-M1 self-propelled anti-aircraft missile launcher was obliterated.

With this maximum range (50-280 km), the entire Crimean peninsula would be within reach of the SRBM Grom-2:

Ukrainian positions blasted by Russian ATGMs and mortars.


Ukrainian military supply truck got hit by artillery and exploded, probably the ammunition supplies cooked off.


T-72B3 firing at Ukrainian fortifications. That's what tanks mostly do in this war.


Ukrainian military post comes under bombardment by artillery. This likely got drone spotted, following people coming in and out of the place.

Column from both sides getting wrecked all the time. What a waste. It look like the only thing that work in Ukraine is going with infantry on terrains completely melted from artillery.

Then you'll have the quite numerous footage of sleeping troops in the open getting mortar shells dropped on them from IR camera equipped drones. A whole generation of people from both sides will be getting PTSD from the whirling of propellers after this war.

No matter the method of attack if you're exposed to enemy ISR you will be turned into mincemeat.
