The War in the Ukraine

Abundance of Lancets.

2S1 Gvozdika or Carnation is taken down by a Lancet. The 122mm Carnation is one of the most abundant SPGs in the Ukrainian armed forces and despite it's Cold War vintage, remains to be a dangerous weapon and highly prioritized for destruction. The use of the Karasuk laser guided shell, Ukraine's analog to the Russian Krasnopol and Kitolov projectiles, can guarantee an instant hit if a Ukrainian drone manages to laze you.


Destroyed Bradley and Leopard 2A6 in the Zaporozhye region.


Lancet takes down a Strela-10. Despite it's Cold War vintage, the Strela-10 remains to be one of the most effective drone killers out there so taking them out means free reins to your drones in that area.


The total number of published Lancet videos have exceeded 500 with 136 last month alone.


Tank and mine clearance vehicle both taken down by Lancets in the Zaporozhye region.


Ukrainian SPG knocked out at the Svatovo Kremennaya front.


Ukrainian tank taken out by obtf Kaskad in Southern Donetsk. Kaskad was one of the earliest most prolific user of the Lancet that help demonstrate it's effectiveness in the battlefield.


Tank taken out by Lancet from the 14th Spetznaz Brigade, another active participant in the Southern front.


Ukrainian tank taken out by VDV units.


Two IMR-2 mine clearance machines taken out by the 31st VDV Brigade. With the importance of these machines, this got to hurt.


The Chechen Akhmat-Yug unit prefers to shove FPV drones into Ukrainian trenches.


Ukrainian BMP-1 gets taken out in Staromayorske district.


Another howitzer gets taken out Lancet.


Russians hit the base of the Carpathian Sich. Much devastation followed.





Ukrainian warehouse and SPG hit in Belogorovka.


Redacted YouTube video with ex-Fox host Clayton Morris, here with independent journalist Patrick Lancaster at the DPR Interior of Ministry, also a base of the obtf Kaskad, as the head of the ministry is also it's leader. Here an ex Azov Battalion tank is being repurposed by the Kaskad for it's own use. DPR has traditionally used Ukrainian trophy equipment with their forces going back to 2014.

There's been a successful USV attack at Novorossiysk, hitting a landing ship Olenegorsky Gornyk and causing it to list due to flooding.
That's really far from Odessa, wonder how those USVs got there.

With the help of a "totally not involved in this war" western RQ-4, most likely.

Wondering how a simple RPG strike could kill its commander. Not too impressed about the CV-90's protection already.


Separate news.

LMUR strike from a Mi-28N, this time against a Ukrainian stronghold. The range is well beyond MANPADS can reach.


Compilation Lancet strikes.


Bunch of destroyed mine clearance machines, MaxxPro and a Ukrainian tank.


Daily dose of Lancet includes an armored car and an SPG courtesy of Russian Airborne.



Ukrainian BMP-1 knocked out by a Russian Nona-S with a 120mm mortar.



Orthodox Ka-52 strikes a Bradley with a Vikhr.


BMD-4M firing it's 100mm shells at Ukrainian positions in the Artemevosk region. A versatile vehicle that's popular for it's close support and antitank qualities.


Soldiers from the 58th Army fires an ATGM at a Ukrainian vehicle with corresponding explosion. This puts it at the Rabotino sector.


Another M777 kill by Lancet.


Ukrainian POV on the road in Zaporzhyzhia. Lots of dead Ukrainian equipment, like that road to Bakhmut.



Destroyed Mastiff and MaxxPro at the Artemevosk sector.

There are a lot of people speculating that the Ukrainians managed to extend the range of a USV, however, couldn't the Ukrainians have released the USV within possible range of Novorossiysk from a civilian ship?

I’m not sure why you’re surprised, an rpg can pen hundreds of mm of armour depending on the model, and the CV 90 (like pretty much all IFVs) cannot stop that unless they use ERA. This isn’t surprising, and the same thing would happen with any Russian ifv. Why so pessimistic?

A Ukrainian armored car is storming the Russian defense line at speed. As you know, the Russian army has created a powerful multi-level defense line consisting of anti-tank gouges, dug ditches and minefields. The crew of one of the Ukrainian armored vehicles decided to try to overcome the anti-tank ditch at speed. As you can see in the video, he did not succeed, the fate of the crew is not reported.






On the night of Friday, August 4, the Ukrainian army tried to attack the Russian naval base in Novorossiysk with kamikaze maritime drones. Officially, the attack was repulsed, on the video you can see the moment of the defeat of the sea drone of Ukraine. Unfortunately, when repulsing the attack, the Russian large landing ship "Olenengorsky miner", project 775, which we previously talked about, was damaged. As you can see in the video, the ship was damaged and tilted. Despite official statements, don't underestimate the threat posed by Ukraine's maritime drones.

The video is a few days old, I think it was already linked here in the thread, and it is supposed to be an uncrewed vehicle that is testing the Russian defence.
