Lancet drone strike in the TRML-4D radar of the IRIS-T air defense system of Ukraine. The German-made TRML-4D radar from the IRIS-T SLM air defense system of the Ukrainian army came under attack from the Russian Lancet kamikaze drone. The TRML-4D radar is capable of tracking up to 1500 flying objects at an altitude of up to 30 kilometers, you can find more information about the TRML-4D radar and the IRIS-T SLM air defense system on the channel. As a result of the impact of the Lancet drone, the radar was damaged, judging by the video, artillery also hit the radar.






The calculation of the Russian air defense system Tor-M2U spoke about his combat work in Ukraine. The modernization of the Russian Tor air defense systems proceeded in this order, in 1991 a version of the Tor-M1 air defense system appeared, in 2009 the Tor-M2U air defense system and in 2016 the Tor-M2 air defense system.






Footage of a mobile crew of the Ukrainian army armed with an SPG-9 Spear mounted anti-tank grenade launcher. The effective firing range of such a grenade launcher against armored targets is up to 1300 meters. For more information about the SPG-9 grenade launcher, see the link to the video in the comments to the video.






The Russian sniper with the call sign "Colonel" spoke about his large-caliber rifle ASVK "Kord" with a caliber of 12.7 mm and its combat use in Ukraine.






The armor of the T-72B3 tank withstood 2 hits of the Stugna Ukraine ATGM. Published footage of the battle of the Russian tank T-72B3. The tank used up its ammunition and began to return to replenish ammunition. Reportedly, at that moment the tank was attacked twice from the Ukrainian ATGM "Stugny", despite being hit, the tank withstood the blows and returned to the unit. It is worth noting that the Ukrainian ATGM "Stugna" is a fairly effective weapon for destroying tanks, but apparently the additional armor of the tank turned out to be more effective in this battle.

Was it firing guided munitions? That’s quite a precise kill at that range for a smoothbore gun.


It could be a laser guided shell. The one lasing the target would be another drone that isn't the one doing the footage. The shell could be using the Malakhit guidance system from the Krasnopol, with the typical Orlan-10M and Orlan 30 as the lasing UAVs. The same guidance system is already on use with shells from a variety of guns, from 240mm mortar down to the 120mm mortar and 122mm howitzer and everything in between.

Added unrelated news.

The handiwork of obtf Kaskad. Destroyed Ukrainian vehicles including a Kirpi.


Ka-52 at the office, knocking out a number of vehicles.


Russian Strela 10 covering artillery.


Lancet strike on M777. This one made a mighty explosion.

Entry on Intel Slava. Wagner or what remains of it, will be busy training Belarusian forces.

On the deployment of PMC "Wagner" in Belarus.

There will be three large field camps of PMC "Wagner" in the Republic of Belarus. One is near the city of Osipovichi, two more places have not been determined, but these will definitely be the western regions of the country, given the aggressive rhetoric of Poland. The main task of PMC "Wagner" is enhanced combat training of the Belarusian security forces.

I am sure that when all the field camps are fully equipped and a full-fledged training process begins, it is better for the Poles not to look towards the Republic of Belarus at all.

1. For the Belarusian military, this will be a valuable learning experience. Another practice of Wagner training of the armies of African states showed an increase in their combat effectiveness after undergoing combat training programs.

2. Actual combat experience will be transferred, which was obtained in many months of battles against the NATO proxy army using modern NATO weapons.

3. Thus, PMC "Wagner" will continue to exist in the old / new capacity, the Belarusian army will gain valuable combat experience, and the western borders of the Union State will be strengthened.

Reality is stranger than fiction. There is serious security risks of having former rebels/coups/mutineers training your professional army. This may include imparting radical ideas or anti-gov't feelings to your professional armed forces. That's unless Lukashenko is confident this wasn't a true coup to begin with.

Beside ATACMS. CNN is now reporting cluster munitions are coming as soon as next month in the next military package. US may be picking up pace on the escalation ladder.

Biden administration could soon approve sending controversial cluster munitions to Ukraine​

The Biden administration is strongly considering approving the transfer of controversial cluster munition warheads to Ukraine, multiple people familiar with the matter told CNN, as the Ukrainians struggle to make major gains in their weeks’ old counteroffensive.

Officials told CNN that a final decision is expected soon from the White House, and that if approved, the weapons could be included in a new military aid package to Ukraine as soon as next month.

This is why visually affirmed MANPADS hits don't guarantee a kill. Su-25 returns after taking a MANPADS hit.

Drone operators of the 110th Brigade of the 1st Donetsk Army launch FPV attacks on Ukrainian supply trucks. However I cannot ascertain of kills and it's possible that ECM interfered with the drones at the end of flight.

If true, that's a huge jump escalation-wise. First thing it tells me is that things must be really catastrophic for the Ukrainians on the ground, second, it really worries me that these idiots will push Russia to using The Mushroom...

These articles says that a recent press release that Rostec is suspending secondary UVZ contracts and focusing only on producing tanks.

Russian tank production rate has been claimed by the Russian security council to have increased to 120 tanks a month (~1500 tanks fiscal 2023), which is 3.5 times the maximum rate in peacetime. (350-400)

It would be interesting to see how much the tank production rate can increase by 2026.

Nope. We're not even close to that kind of situation. LOL


No further updates regarding Western countries pledge of giving Ukraine their own 4th Gen Fighters?

Wait until that big NATO meeting next month (i.e. Vilnius Summit).
