2S3 Akatsya of the RuAF working in Kupyansk. Putting the SPG in ait like that makes it more difficult to destroy by fragmentation from a near miss, but makes the vehicle harder to move and more vulnerable to a direct hit.

The newest narrative is that Russia is obsessed with Avdiivka sacrificing thousands of soldiers while Ukraine plays a smart move in Kherson, where the Russians have supply problems and the Russian artillery slows down shelling due to this supply deficiency, leaving thus a future competence to expand operations when the opportunity arises.

We'll see.

Second Bergepanzer lost meaning all two Bergepanzers the Germans sent to Ukraine are now lost. Russians frequently mount ambushes of evacuation attempts and vehicles.


Claims to be a Krasnopol strike on the Kharkhiv area. As this wasn't taken from the targeting drone, this means this was taken from a second Russian UAV in the area. This is an indication how rampantly the Russian UAVs are roaming unmolested in Ukrainian airspace.


Russian artillery, in the form of Krasnopols or other laser guided ammunition like Kitolovs and Smel'chaks, are dismantling and targeting Ukrainian shelters and strongholds in Krynki.

Kh-31P hits Liberian cargo ship defying grain ban. I'm not sure how an anti radar missile is able to hit the ship, especially when the damage is at the bridge area where the radar isn't located there. It's likely the missile may have went astray from a failed attempt to knock out a Ukrainian radar source.

Markus Reisner:
If the West also supplies little weapons to Ukraine, then there will be no victory and negotiations must begin, the Austrian General Staff said
"The West is not ready for a trench war, it has been embellishing the situation for 20 months and believes that only with the help of moral superiority will the Ukrainians be able to defeat Russia. It doesn't work that way," said Colonel Markus Reisner of the Austrian General Staff.
"We in the West became victims of our own propaganda, we thought it would work. We have forgotten the essence of the war, we have become a post-heroic society, and Russia and Ukraine are heroic societies. We did not want to play the military card, but relied on the economy, on sanctions. It doesn't work for Russia."

Ukrainian truck mounting a Soviet 14.5mm ZPU AA machine gun and 40mm Bofors gun. Used to deal with Gerans and other drones. Interesting to see you need to go old school with AA.

122mm Grad MLRS rockets made in North Korea supplied to the Russians.


Russian MoD buys Chinese Desertcross 1000-3 all terrain vehicles. Yes, that's Putin, Shoigu and Gerasimov looking at it. 537 units have been delivered with standing orders of 1590 more.

It wouldn't be better if desertcross vehicles had some protection against freezing temperature/snow/rain installed like the below modification?

Maybe cost is a factor.

Going off-tangent a bit, does anyone know if the manufacturer, Odes Industries, is Chinese or American owned?

It would seem Shandong Odes Industries where these ATVs are made are in fact linked to the Odes Industries in the US. This business news from 2019 indicates the US parent company did fork out investment money.

Ironically this news is about the company welcoming a visit from someone from National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine.

Those were just a few things we learned about the newly named ODES Industries (formerly ODES UTVS) during an exclusive tour of the company’s Dallas-based operations. Of course, some seat time aboard the Dominator X2 1000 side-by-side and Assailant ATV on a nearby off-road park were a welcome part of the journey, and offered an ideal way to make our debut ride aboard their machines.

ODES, which currently has a manufacturing plant in Shandong, China, recently signed a deal to build a new facility in 2018 in the south of China near Shanghai, since the majority of the company’s small parts suppliers are located in that region.

kherson operation will only work if it leads to a catastrophic collapse of russian lines in zaporozhia. otherwise its just a battalion grinding on its own with back to the river. its not a bad move since its far from russian mainland therefore defenders there will get little support.

Destroyed T-64BVs.

A Toyota Mega Cruiser with a ZU-23-2 AA gun in service with the Russian Army. A Mega Cruiser is essentially a Japanese Humvee using a 4.1 turbo diesel from the Land Cruiser. Note the return of AA machine guns in both sides of the conflict as a way to deal with drones.


Back in Iran, a Shahed-126 is fitted with an optical sensor, turning it into a very large Lancet. This makes me wonder about the possibility and potential of Gerans being fitted with Lancet guidance systems.


Russian Marines from the 810rd Brigade are fighting a battle with their Ukrainian colleagues at the AFU's 36th Marines Brigade. Here the Russian Marines hit on an evacuation attempt by the latter.


US and Europe looks to modernize the T-72M1 to the T-72EA to supply Ukraine instead of the Leopards.


Krasnopol hits on Ukrainian targets in Novoukrainka. It appears that something like a tank turret is sent flying off.


US purchases 60 Gepards from Jordan to transfer to the Ukraine. The Gepards were old surplus purchases by the Jordanians so they are coming off with a profit on this. However the technical condition of the equipment is a big unknown, similar to how Osas purchased from Armenia to Ukraine proved to be junk.


T-72B3 r2022, T-90M Breakthrough and T-90A Vladimir are being serviced somewhere. Should be noted the T-90s used by the Wagner PMC were actually of the same standard as the Indian Army
