The War in the Ukraine

First Leopard for the Patriot park ?


But anyway, best of luck for them pulling the 55 tonne hulk. Gonna take some effort. The stridsvagen and 2A5/6 are heavier some 62-65 Tonne.

Interesting placements for the Kontakt-1 ERA on the Leopard really

Two BRMs shall do the trick, but yes, ironic advantage of a heavier side.
lighter ARVs will struggle to steal heavier goodies.

Better to close the hatches and wait that the front bypass it. Just need to keep an eye on to destroy anything that try to take it back. Beside propaganda purpose, maybe better to just toss a grenade in it.

Speaking of sabotage, just bumped into a compilation of Russian sabotage units ambushing Ukranian troops behind the lines. Seems to happen a lot and they are vicious.

Also seeing that Russia has massified the use of thermal to the point of FPV drones having them, too.

Seems Russia is advancing north and south of Bakhmut and according to Suriyak, is has regained 85% of the positions they lost in May

These seem like rather meaningless gains to be honest. Klischiivka heights are much more consequential.



Ukrainians didn't have a hard time taking back these areas in the first place. The fiercest battles were over Klischiivka and Andriivka for that reason. They were figting for @HighGround

A new Karakurt has been moved to the Black Sea through the Volga-Don canal, replacing the capability lost with the damage of the Askold

I told you it would happen. That the Russians could move small corvettes like a Karakurt, Buyan, or Kilo class submarines through the canal system. Talk that these need to pass through the Turkish Straits, as I have seen said by other OSINT "experts", to get there is bullshit. Russia can move these boats through the canal system just fine. And just that would be more than enough to counter whatever ships Ukraine has available at its disposal after they lost their fleet.

In a longer video of the Leopard 2A4, where the Russian soldiers climb inside the tank, the charred remains of the driver can be seen.

Apparently a second Bradley was captured, this one operational although the tracks have lost some tension. At first I thought this was the same Bradley but this one has two headlamps while the one we have seen before only had one


Another CAESAR was taken out by a Lancet a few days ago

I'm not sure Kilos can be moved through the canal given that they exceed the draft allowed

Check the location of the Krasnoye Sormovo shipyard at Nizhny Novgorod.



It is in the middle of European Russia. They used to build Kilo class submarines there. Last one was built there in 2005. They went to their places of deployment by traversing the canal system. For example B-177 Lipetsk and B-871 Alrosa were sent via the canal system from Krasnoye Sormovo to Sevastopol in the late Soviet Union/early Russian Federation.

See here:

"B-177, "Lipetsk" project 877
...
Laid down at the Krasnoye Sormovo Plant named after Zhdanov in Gorky (i.e. Nizhny Novgorod) as a large submarine. The crew is subordinate to the 104th ObrSRPL of the Navy;
...
Launched in Sormovsky district to the Volga River;
...
Began the transition to the completion base - the Perseus plant (Volga River - Volga-Don canal - Don River - Sea of Azov - Black Sea - Feodosia - Sevastopol;
...
Entered service in the Russian Navy. Temporarily subordinated to the 153rd Red Banner BRPL of the KChF, based in the Southern Bay (Sevastopol);

Mash in Donbass, reporting the situation in the ground in Donbass.

"Actual : APU are afraid to change positions day and night — fear on them is caused by our UAVs.

The Russian Armed Forces are now in the industrial zone — at a peculiar "gate" to the city. Assaulting the positions of the retreating enemy helps drones. As the fighter of the interbrigade "Pyatnashka" told, our birds fly in the rear of the Ukrainians, reveal their location, and then our artillery jumps on the light.

Knowing this, the enemy tries to rotate at dusk, when an ordinary drone no longer sees, and for the night it is still too early. Helps it little — our birds are angry. Particularly closely monitor the operators of enemy UAV — some manage to eliminate as soon as they find themselves at the take-off point. Tanks cannot escape from our drones. After one of these races, the Ukrainian T-64 brought our arta to its rear."

That is discussed in this video:

One possible excuse would be that it is Kazakh oil loaded at Novorossiysk.
