Lancet hits something hidden in this forest.


First scene is a Ukrainian communications tower knocked out by Russian ATGM. Second scene is a Ukrainian supply vehicle hit by Russian ATGM.


Work of the FPV drone operators of the West Akhmat unit in Zaporozhye. This is a new Chechen unit.


More Russian FPV drone attacks from the DPR.

Addition, also 55K6 is not exclusive to S-400's. It can control other systems too.

People do like to pretend the Russians don't reuse a lot of platforms which makes identification tricky. Posting contextless, cropped pictures just makes things worse

Seems the Ukranian LST "Yuri Olefirenko" was sunk in Odessa, no images of it yet, so take it with a bag of salt.

The patriot were known to be active as recently as yesterday since there's footage of it intercepting targets over Kyiv, if anything was even hit it's most likely just a launcher which can be quickly replaced.


If you read a few pages back, I mentioned that there simply isn't enough information to draw useful conclusion from the patriot intercept, since we do not know what was fired at it. If it dumped 30 missiles and actually shot down multiple ballistic missiles then PLARF will need to take this into consideration that even patriots are capable of ABM work rather than just THAAD. Remember that PLA has specific target sets that are guaranteed to be under dense AA umbrella, not infrastructure that may or may not be very spread out and unprotected.

In terms of storm shadows we have already seen them penetrate the front lines a few times despite only being in use for a few weeks, I'll wait and see rather than draw hasty conclusions as they bring range and warhead size that himars can't be exactly compared with.

This comment chain should be in the lessons from Ukraine thread if it wasn't closed down.

Cmon man. What would your reaction be if "just a launcher" of the S-400 was destroyed?

"Doesn't matter, just a launcher, the system is fine and it can be quickly replaced"?

China has its own signal intel over Ukraine and access to whatever Russia knows. So they would know almost anything fired by either sides in the conflict. And that info will prove useful should China need to defend itself at a later date, but that is somewhat off topic.

Is there any evidence that VKS air defence was ever deployed in Ukraine (excluding Crimea)? From what I’ve seen, only ground forces air defence are actually present in Ukraine.

Russia is not going to advertise where they deploy their long-range SAM systems. The evidence of that pic shows that s400 command truck got hit by an airburst explosive. Whether it was in occupied Ukraine or not it doesn't matter what matters to Russia is they lost a part of a very expensive system.

Photo is shopped, here's a side by side comparison:

There's a further photoshop of this photo with one less axial that's circulating:

Pro-Russian sources seem to think this disproves it's a S400. I don't know about all the different flavours of S300 to know how to tell command vehicle apart, anyone care to give their opinion?
