The War in the Ukraine

Claims of a CV90 captured by the Russians. Source from cyberspec.

Rybar confirms the capture, it happened around Kremenaya and would be the third loss of the type in the area

Sure, what are your sources about range of combination of Krasnopol fired from Msta and Excalibur fired from AHS Krab? You know that the effective range is like twice longer for the latter? And the same for M109 and any other Western made self propelled howitzer. It was said that Koalitsiya might get somewhere near that but that's the artillery equivalent of Armata tank - no one had seen it firing and dreams about mass producing those are unrealistic for the coming 2 decades.

I'm going to be honest here, most of the sources i used was purely website based and even Wikipedia to some extent which could resulted in some inconsistencies or inaccuracies. And i said general consensus or perceptions held by most people on this forum.

And on your list (which of course is not biased)? You have like 250 hidden videos of lancets destroying Leos and other stuff?

lol, when the numbers aren't on our side this means that they're biased.

I can guarantee to you that not even a single hit of lancet is hidden and not released even if it hadn't destroyed anything (which is also what happens in a lot of cases, the same with Ukrainians recovering most of the "destroyed" vehicles).

I never said that i full heartedly believe the claimed numbers of Ukrainian losses that was published by the Russians. And i myself once had a conflict with one of the Russian OSINTers, Armchair Warlord, on Twitter due to the inaccuracies of the Ukrainian losses that was published by the official Russian MoD statement.

You sure Russians wont do anything about that aren't you ? The advantages of Excalibur is unfortunately only last as long as you hope Russians wont do anything.. which kinda not so much.


There is already Krasnopol-D. Basically your Excalibur except that it also still retain lasers.

The British armored personnel carrier Mastiff PPV of the Ukrainian army is being sent to Russia for study. Together with the Mastiff armored personnel carrier, an American-made Oshkosh M-ATV armored vehicle will also be sent for study, both vehicles were abandoned by Ukrainian crews. Captured equipment will be studied by specialists to identify vulnerabilities and the possible use of circuit solutions in the creation of new types of military equipment. The Mastiff PPV armored personnel carrier is a British version of the US-made Cougar 6×6 armored vehicle. The Mastiff PPV armored vehicle began to be used since 2007, including in Afghanistan, now there is no need for them and most of the vehicles have been sent for storage.






An attempt to attack an MT-LB armored vehicle with a German DM-22 mine in Ukraine. The Russian armored personnel carrier MT-LB was almost hit by a German mine DM-22 of the Ukrainian army. Judging by the video, the mine did not work at the right time, apparently due to the mistake of its operator or improper installation, the mine fired earlier and did not hit the MT-LB armored vehicle. The DM-22 anti-tank mine is usually installed along roads






Lancet drone strike and the explosion of the Ukrainian self-propelled guns Krab. A Ukrainian self-propelled gun 155-mm self-propelled gun Krab of Polish production came under attack from a Russian kamikaze drone "Lancet". One of the crew members of the self-propelled guns noticed the approaching drone and left the combat vehicle. As a result of the impact of the Lancet drone, a fire started in the self-propelled gun Krab and ammunition exploded.






Footage of an incredible battle has been published, a Russian T-72 tank against a column of Ukrainian vehicles, consisting of 2 tanks and five M1224 MaxxPro armored vehicles. Actively maneuvering, the tank, with the support of artillery, stopped the advance of the Ukrainian column near Novoadarovka.

I shell quote the latest from Suriyak about this mythical first defense line:


Unless by breech you mean "got lost and drove around until your BMP ended up in an anti-tank ditch."

A better representation of what this statement best embodies:

Conversation between a Russian soldier and Ukranian POWs. The Ukranian says they only got 2 weeks of training and fired only one magazine before being sent to the frontlines


Canadian soldier talks about they were using a church in Kiev as a base.

Video of the lone T-72 with more accurate subtitles. Seems they went out of their own volition given the reaction of the spotters and the chain of command.

Big crackdown lately on twitter. News on the front is getting slimmer and slimmer on major channels. Video of a lone tank not following orders is a bit worrying.

Judging by the subtitles, spotters didn't know whose unit it was other than it was Russian as they only had direct communication with ATGM and Artillery teams though it seems at the end the tank crew chimes in saying that the advance was initially stopped by mines and they started to fire on them to prevent the Ukranians from recovering the equipment during the night.

I think there is another drone footage of the same event closer to the Ukrainian vehicles. It was two tanks and 6 MRAPs, the tanks got disabled by mines and the fire from the lone T-72, MRAPS instead of backing up decided to spread out, hitting more mines in the process.

Edit:

This is the other angle, focusing on the Ukranian units

Pretty sure this one is an old footage from June last month
