The War in the Ukraine
- Thread starter SampanViking
- Start date
July was a record month for the amount of Lancet videos released, with a total of 134, twice as much as the previous record in May of 62. Data from LostArmour
Video and pictures from a vehicle graveyard around Robotino
In a The Economist article, retired Australian General Mick Ryan calls Russian defensive lines are extensive and complex, breaching would require a combined arms skills Ukraine doesn't have.
It mentions the area is littered with millions of mines and that the Russians have managed to set an extensive network of EW systems, sensors and datalinks in the area that allows them to reseed the area with mines whenever the Ukranians try to clear it, aided by dozens of FPV drones operators, Lancet attacks and attack helicopters constantly on the lookout. The article then tries to sprinkle the article with some optimism from some Ukranian soldiers with their claims that they totally are killing more Russians anyway.
I mean, even if true, Finland killed lots of Soviet soldiers and they still lost, twice. Same for the US and Vietnam.
Business Insider article that mentions how as part of the defensive lines, the Russians set up fake trenches loaded with remotely controlled mines which are detonated as soon as Ukranian soldiers try to take them. In an interview with an Ukranian commander, in one of their assaults, they were forced to go on foot after their vehicles were disabled by artillery, and once they reached the trenches expecting a fight, turned out they were mined killing part of the assaulting group. Survivors were then picked of by FPV drones.
The commander mentions it seemed like the Russians had a drone for every soldier.
Another BI article mentioning that the Storm Shadow is starting to lose its edge as the Russians are adapting to its use
I do find it amusing that Michael Kofman is now the expert being quoted in every article as the previous ones have started to paint gloomier pictures of the conflict and become less "kosher"

Russian mortar shell smashes into this building used by the Ukrainians as a communication and observation center.
Says FPV drone hits this Ukrainian T-72 tank. Given the violence of the explosion and that I don't see any drone, I think this is a direct hit with an artillery shell.
Lancet from the Osman special forces unit hits a Ukrainian APC.
Ukrainian deployment point being hit by Krasnapols from the 200th Brigade. Should be north of Artemovsk.
Two Ukrainian APCs destroyed by ATGM as elements of the 24th Assault Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces engaged the Phantom Battalion of the Russian 4th Motorized Rifle Brigade.
Lancet hits a BTR-4E Bucephalus. Fire spreads to nearby M113.
Another M777 take down by Lancet.
Another dead Bradley.
And yet another dead Bradley.
Ukrainian Mi-24 gets shot down over Kherson.

For people that want to know what Kofman and friends said. Listen to their podcast and read their Twitters. This is probably the harshest they have been to Ukrainian Forces and the most complements given to Russian Forces.
For people that want a summary, here's the breakdown:
Indeed. He was brutally honest in the last podcast about Ukraine’s inability to do combined arms and scale operations beyond company level.
The claim is that this is a decoy. Now that I have translated the text. Previously the claim was that it was a real SAM.
Idk if it can be here, but it's kinda connected, please move or delete
There are rumors that Belarusian helicopters entered Poland, Polish MoD deny, however photos and geolocalisation indicates that it may be true
