The War in the Ukraine

Footage has emerged of a Lancet strike on a T-64 that wanted to evacuate a damaged Leopard 2A4.

Seems like more new build T-90M are being deployed to battle. As more and more Western made tanks are lost in battle or cannibalized for parts and more and more T-90M are deployed to battle, the tide is expected to turn in favour of Russians during 2024 and 2025.

Christ dude Robotyne is still being contested, If the rainy muddy season starts and Robotyne is still not in full control I can't
imagine how badly this will crush morale for Ukraine planning future counteroffensives. Uralvagonzavod is still stockpiling on fresh new modified tanks, so I hope to see more generosity from the west to Ukraine to keep pace.

This could be a different Challenger 2 knocked out, different from the one posted earlier that looks burnt out.

A video of the destruction of the British Challenger 2 tank by the Ukrainian army has appeared. The tank moved in a convoy of five armored vehicles. The column was hit by Russian artillery. When the Challenger 2 tank stopped, it was hit by a Russian Kornet ATGM.

This war isn't going to be decided by who posts more tank footage or who has more "cool" tanks.

On the other hand,


Russian claims of the air defense efficacy are interesting and worth investigating. The "truth" behind air defense capabilities is very much game changing and carries implications far beyond this war. Russian air defense capabilities in general have been fairly impressive in this war, but I am very curious about the total numbers.

I'm gonna be watching for what changes the Russian military makes in regards to air defense after this war.

I would expect changes in deployment strategy, things like how to make it harder to locate the battery, more rigorous usage of scout and shoot, using the full extent of S-300/400 mobility. The other thing is probably more intensive fighter CAP, A-100 finally got the required love and funds. Things like that.

Also maybe more emphasis on fire on the move capability/more Tor M2U. More target channels for Pantsyrs and Tor's. Maybe putting drone jammer too.

FPV drone hits Humvee courtesy of 'Beaver' once again, which is the Chechen Akhmat Yug special forces unit, deployed in the Rabotino sector. Also hit is a pickup and a Bradley.




Lancet hits an M777 in the Kupyansk front.


Ukrainian deployment point hit by Krasnopol by the 106th VDV Guards Division in Bakhmut.


Rocket that hit Konstantinovka appears from the Ukrainian side despite this being a Ukrainian held city.


Destroyed AFU BMP-1


More Ghoul drones ready to deploy. Ghoul is one of the FPV drones the Russians use along the Upyr and the Gadfly, and there are more.


Ukrainians tried to attack a Ka-52 using an FPV drone which obviously won't be successful.


M113 hits a mine. Compatriots quickly fled.


TOS-1S used on Ukrainian positions in Zaporozhye by the VDV. Viewed using thermal.


AFU T-62 and BMP destroyed in Rabotino, courtesy of the VDV.


FPV drone from the 336th Marines Guard Brigade, attacks a house used by AFU troops as a shelter. The Ukrainians were drone observed first and tracked to this location.

Air defences are so fragile, we have seen footage of single sniper round making a s-300 launcher go boom. A small drone can disable a radar without difficulties too. With the emergence of light drone warfare, close proximity bubble of these costly systems will need to be designed to take care of these threat. EW and pellets spewing systems able to get rid of multiple targets fast. Even distant airfields are targets from these now. Maybe designing cheap missiles that can be carried in large numbers for intensive CAP from fighter and attack helicopters
