Lancet hits on AFU Marines organizing and landing on the Dniepr.
LMUR from a Mi-28MN hits a building where 6 AFU Marines fled into at Kherson.
Russian assault forces have taken five fortified buildings in the southern industrial zone of Avdiivka. There's rumor that ex-Wagner are involved.
RBK-500 cluster bombs are now being used in Ukrainian positions in Avdiivka. The RBKs are attached and guided with UMPCs.
Destroyed American Oshkosh M-ATV.
New batch of Su-34 has been delivered to the Russian Air Force.
Why losses are not losses. Vehicles damaged and presumed lost are recovered and repaired. A new batch of repaired BMP-2 has been turned over by the 560th Armor Repair Plant.
A T-72M1 of the AFU left burning in the Orekhiv front.
Bradley captured by the Russians near Avdiivka.
Tor-M2 has shot down more than 20 UAVs in recent times, in the south Donetsk direction.
T-80BVM at work with UAV support. With fire adjustment, an enemy mortar nest was hit. This at South Donetsk.
A T-64BV of the AFU with a blown turret.
Leopard 2A6 of the 47th Brigade in the Avdiivka area.
Ukrainian vehicle, possibly a tank, gets knocked out by a Russian tank of the 60th Brigade. This might be an ATGM fired through the tank's cannon. The target vehicle appears to have a long line sticking out that suggests to me that it's a long gun barrel which makes it's either a tank or an SPG.

Ukrainian singer performing for middle aged conscripts. They don't look that entertained. I can guess why.
I recall last time I posted a video of Russians going through a trench with AFU soldier bodies collection weapons and finding one of the bodies to be female some said it could be a faked video.
Well here's another instance of what looks like female AFU soldier fighting in the trench. This squad's trench was overrun by Russian combined arm assault but lucky for them two Bradleys showed up and picked them up in time, although the FPV female was woundered in the process.

Ukrainian POWs being converted into Russian soldiers.
Other than the Indian and Eastern SS division being created from POWS (Even a british one lol) I wonder if there are other examples of this happening
I won't put that much into it as women in the military is a Slavic military tradition. The Slavs were already Equal Opportunity before there was Woke. The Soviet Union's most renowned sniper ace in WW2 is a woman, and a legendary night bomber wing are all by women. Germans report that Shturmovik back gunners were often women. Recently, a notorious Ukrainian woman sniper was reportedly killed by a Russian sniper from the Special Forces. The Russian unit that captured the first Stryker unit in Zaporozhye was commanded by a woman, and she and her comrades had a selfie with that vehicle. There were all sorts of women commanders in the presence when Putin visited a headquarters and made a speech there. Recently there was a video of an interview of a woman soldier in the AFU 47th Brigade that was in tears as saying that most of her squad are dead and most of the people she knew of. It was reported the 47th Brigade has a higher than average proportion of women soldiers, The described encounter above is likely with the 47th Brigade in Avdiivka fighting with Storm-Z and ex-Wagner troops.
The entire DPR and LPR are technically ex Ukrainian anyway and early in the war, and even before that, there were AFU members who switched sides. Big mistake for the AFU to draft people from the Russian speaking east side of Ukraine. Switching sides were already there back in 2022, and the Azov Battalion was there to make sure it doesn't happen by shooting at surrenderies.
Units that have ex-AFU members are typically DPR volunteer special forces units, some of whom are the most notorious for their drone work, including the obtf Kaskad or Kaskad Battalion, the Sudoplatov Battalion, the Sparta Battalion and the Somali Battalion. These forces have already made a big mark in the conflict.

In the Sumy region, a Russian DRG ambushed a Ukrainian Bukhanka with military personnel on it. There is constant Russian infiltration of the region doing raids and reconnaissance, suggesting that this area maybe the next front for a potential Russian cross over from the border.

Cited reasons: Bad weather, logistics. It not likely they will be used until next spring.

Apparently the goal to produce 1 million artillery rounds within NATO was only "aspirational" and its promise was mostly "symbolic"
A drone attack was launched to Crimea by Ukraine. A total of 13 drones were used and all were intercepted by Pantsirs. Such probing attacks generally takes place before a major missile attack is launched, we can expect a Storm Shadow attack on Crimea soon.

To debunk the myth about women and videos like that because I see that Russian propaganda blows about that all the time.
First - average age of Ukrainian soldiers is 40+ years old. Opposite to the Russians where a lot of the troops are youngsters from Asian part of Russia. Recently they started to move on bigger cities in "Russia proper".
Second - if you see a woman or a man younger than 26 years old those are volunteers, not conscripted.
Another myth - Europe and USA is slowly ramping up ammunition production. European countries (EU, so no GB there) promised 1 million of shells of various cals (not for the small arms) until the end of March 2024. 400k were delivered.
And here's main thing: 40% of ammo produced in EU is exported! And 1 million isn't far off.
As I wrote - production is slowly ramping up. It won't be at full pace until 2025 (as there's no war for NATO). Not taking into account the USA production (100k 155mm rounds alone per month in 2025).
Russia under the current wartime economy can produce how many? You can clearly see the disproportion in potential between red hot Russian production and NATO countries which are doing something but not as much as they could even in peacetime.
Why are you providing Soviet Union example? It's not like it was European or Slavic country. It was an opposite of "West" in reality.
