Footage of the interception of two Ukrainian HIMARS MLRS missiles, manufactured in the USA, by the Russian Buk-M1 air defense system. It is difficult to intercept HIMARS MLRS missiles on the Buk-M1 air defense system, since the speed of HIMARS MLRS rockets is about 700 m/sec, and the flight speed of Buk-M1 missiles is 830 m/sec. But it is possible to intercept HIMARS MLRS missiles if the missiles are intercepted on a collision course. It is worth noting that the crew of the Buk-M1 air defense system must be experienced, since the HIMARS MLRS rockets are accompanied by the Buk-M1 air defense system radar for only 10-20 seconds.
The War in the Ukraine
- Thread starter SampanViking
- Start date
An M1A1 Abrams tank, presumably trapped in the frame by an M2A2 Bradley ODS-SA infantry fighting vehicle of the 47th Infantry Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Avdiivka direction. Ukraine must remain reinforcing the front because of the active Russian advance.
Hard to believe doing a big change over like that during this winter critical phase. Maybe in one month and an half when everything will be in a stand still because of mud but right now, the front is evolving and it's not pretty for the Ukrainian side. Changing politicians is one thing shuffling the military brass is something else, it will hit logistics.. Lower echelons need to have the capabilities and stockpîles to go without help for higher up levels for a while if it's the case.

Ukrainian TikTok. A Russian artillery blast in Avdeevka. The viewers happy to survive it.
Burning Spartan somewhere in the front.
Ukrainian APC in charge of troop rotations was tracked and ambushed by advanced Russian units.
FPV drones from the 200th Brigade doing their thing against Ukrainian vehicles in Bogdanivka.
Various Western vehicles and BMP destroyed by Lancets around Avdiivka.
Russians have concentrated 500 tanks, 400 armored vehicles and 40,000 personnel in the Kupyansk region according to Forbes. While thousands of Ukrainian drones await them, their effective range is only 2 to 3km while the Russian artillery can hit 20 to 25km from the front, leveling any places to hide before going on. Ukraine faces shortage of artillery ammunition unable to counter enough of the Russian artillery which has a five fold advantage in ammunition, says the article.
Should have pointed out that the Russians have even more drones and UAVs to toss, and has overwhelming air support.
Russian artillery gunners are getting cocky, according to Forbes. They now worry less about Ukrainian artillery with a 5 to 1 shell advantage. (I personally think it's way worst than that if you reached to this situation, and not just shells, but Ukrainian artillery units are also being systematically destroyed by Lancets and Orlan guided Krasnopols. The shortage of ammunition isn't just because of the lack of air, but because Ukrainian logistics are being systematically targeted with air and rocket strikes.)
Remnant of Grom-1 missile in Kherson, confirming first used in the front. Didn't I post a footage of such an attack before?
Daily dose of FAB in Kherson, this one at Berislav against a Ukrainian force accumulation.
A permanent location used by the AFU, is hit by a FAB. Alleged more than 30 soldiers are in this site. The entire region appears filled with Russian symphatizers and infiltrators that reveal information for the Russians to target.
Repair work on the Asklod after it was hit by Storm Shadow missiles last November. So the ship isn't totaled.
Ukrainian UAV shot down over Belgorod.
This recovered T-90M took several hits from FPV drones. Russians are using these tanks as drone sponges, distracting them from other targets.
Abrams spotted headed to the Avdiivka direction under the 47th Brigade.

You posted a picture which showed the folding wing mechanism in a crashed Grom-1 a long time ago. So these missiles are being used. Just not as much as they should be. Shoigu has visited the maker more than once but I don't know how much they increased production of such missiles.
It is basically a FAB-500, which can be winged, and have an optional rocket or turbofan engine for extra range. But this was designed to be like this from the beginning. It is a modular glide bomb. It is not a kludge quick-fix like the UMPK glide module.
The Russians are repairing the Project 20385 frigate 'Provorny' which got the whole superstructure burned down. So yes they can repair this Karakurt corvette. If you look at the damage it was the bridge which was damaged. They basically need to build a new bridge for the ship.

This particular crew has over 30 kills, so yes they're experienced.
Other stuff.
NARS or MLRS falling into Ukrainian positions.
Ukrainian landing boat gets hit by FPV drone in Dniepr.
Ukrainian TDPs being hit by FABs across the Dniepr.
Ukrainian infantry squads gets hit by ATGM. Hit exactly isn't the best word, the ATGM detonates mid air as it passes just right over the targets. A similar ignition mechanism is used on the latest tank HE-FRAG shells.
Ukrainian position gets hit by mortar. Mortars are still good, bread and butter tools and workhorses in this conflict.
Lancet from the VDV takes care of a T-64BV in the right bank of the Dniepr. Ukrainians have been using everything to provide fire support for their Krynki bridgehead from tanks to SPGs to MLRS and towed artillery but these assets are being systematically decimated by Lancets.
More FAB usage.
Krynki is all but ruin, and the Ukrainians are still trying to use the last surviving structures for shelter. This section in Krynki got FAB'ed and it's likely there's no survivors coming out of the blast zone.
Ukrainian engineers working on new antenna designs that will I prove their FPV drone range from 5km to 15-20km.
Zelensky visits Rabotino but this background certainly doesn't look like it. Rabotino looks like hell. This is likely to be at Orekhiv. Such visits by Zelensky tends to have a reverse Midas effect.
Paratroopers manage to ground a Baba Yaga.
We have not heard of news from Ugledar lately until now, two FAB-500s with UMPK hitting it.
Mi-8 crash, looks like crash for no reason.
In the Artemovosk district of the DPR, Ukrainian DRG arms cache found.
Zaluzhny takes selfie with his chief of staff Shaptal as he says bye bye to his post. Bad news to chief of staff Shaptal; Zelensky plans to get rid of him too.
Infamous Russian UAV operator from the 810rd Marine Brigade "Moses" is alive. This guy killed an ungodly amount of people, all of which are video verified, and the AFU is seriously out to get him and his UAV operators group, fighting in the Kherson front. The AFU thought they managed to hit his nest, resulting in casualties and reported death, which was celebrated in the bloggersphere. Turns out he was wounded, his group survived, but he reinforced assumptions that he was dead by statements in social media. Through the cover of his 'death' Moses and his group continue their deadly work.
Russian artillery managed to hit this AFU BM-21 Grad MLRS.
Iskander lands on a Ukrainian vehicle parking lot, potentially might include HIMARS according to the description (needs more verification).
ATGM hits Ukrainian troop squad in the Bakhmut region.
2S1 Gvozdika tries to hide in it's lair, but is tracked and observed by UAV. The lair did not stop the Lancet from destroying the SPG.
FABs hitting Novosyolovska in the Avdiivka direction.
