Do you know how a Javelin works? Can you name a single platform in deployment anywhere that does what you say?
Smoke or a thermal blanket could conceivably trick the bolometer but if a passively guided supersonic missile is launched a few hundred metres away from you there's not much time for smoke grenades or to cover the tank with a blanket.
Really? I see by far still not the best from NATO … no fighters, no longe range missiles (except the Storm Shadow) … not yet any modern tanks in great numbers …
by the way, the latest "Wagner map"
Why? I don't understand why people keep treating anecdote, rumors, and "confirmations" from biased parties as credible inputs.
All of these are speculations or loose inferences at best. It's like the whole "casualties" and "attrition ratios" discussion. We cannot put any degree of confidence on such numbers or "trends".
Forgot to mention that the previously shown counter battery strike on the Ukrainian SPG was a Krasnopol strike.
This bridge helps move Ukrainian DRGs to the Russian border was hit with a Krasnopol strike.
This drone was lasing a Ukrainian hideout but the video was cut before any explosion, which might suggest there might have been unsettling images of remains from the edited portion. This too might have been a Krasnopol strike.

Anyone know if the storm shadow cruise missiles being sent to the Ukraine will be MTCR compliant?
And where would these modern tanks in great numbers be coming from exactly? How many operational Leopard 2A6s do you think are in Europe right now for example? Surely the US could be providing them with huge numbers of M1s from stocks, but then again if that is the case why can't the US supply M1s to Taiwan when they paid for them? Or Poland for that matter. Instead they rotate M1s to show the flag around NATO still painted in desert colors.
The main reason for supplying the Storm Shadow, not the ATACMS or something else, is because it is still in production. Unlike the ATACMS. Its main issue is the lack of air delivery platforms for it.
We could say that the fields have dried up. Seen footage of truck in fields going without problems. Things will start to move on the front on open field between row of trees like these incursions. Clearly not decisive but defense in open fields even with trenches are clearly not easy to keep, one side or the other if combined warfare can be used.
Legally tho Since Ukraine is signatory of MTCR.. they can get the long range version, provided that they"comply" not to transfer any technology they learned from the missile to external party.
If they get refurbished shorter range missile or "MTCR Compliant" That would be over political consideration.
Also i would expect NATO or Western nation will play a blind eye on agreement or treaty in this respect.
How do they launch the Storm Shadow? Also, a twitter post I read earlier also indicated Ukraine had MALD? That seems like a major increase in long range strike and jamming for Ukraine!
