Odessa gets hit again by missiles and drones. Infrastructure and a local hotel was hit. Hits on hotels are related to foreign mercs and NATO advisors. Infrastructure hits are meant to destroy logistics and military industry complexes making drones and repairing vehicles. Missiles possibly X-22.

Rabotino under assault by Russian forces. The village itself has expired it's usefulness after being turned to rubble but there are Russian made trench fortifications around the village that still has value. These trenches tend to be much deeper and better protected than hastily built ones. The MLRS firing on the footage looks to be one of the modified Uragans of late capable of using Tornado-S cartridges.

TOS arrivals on Ukrainian positions in the Artemovosk front. Due to their short 10km range, TOS-1A were at one point vulnerable to Ukrainian drones and were top priority targets. But lately we are seeing many TOS hits, which is indicative of a breakdown in the Ukrainian ability to stop these machines.

Geran strikes destroyed a place, probably an inn or hotel, somewhere in Kharkhiv. Hotel = place where foreign mercenaries stay. With black Gerans, the strikes take place at night when people are asleep.

Tornado-S destroys AD systems, YouTube version.

First, Tornado-S knocks out a Patriot system. First the Patriot system was tracked by a Russian UAV, probably an Orlan, right into it's hanger lair. Then the hanger gets hit by a strike from a Tornado-S.


Here a Tornado-S rocket hits the S-300 launcher, while a second rockets dispels cluster munitions over a wide area that includes two radars used by the S-300 system like a 30N6.


There was a clip of a Russian assault where T-90 tank took a number of hits from FPV drones like a boss and kept going. However the footage also had wounded people on it so it couldn't be posted. Here we got a new video of yet again a T-90 taking damage like a boss, first from a Stugna antitank missile and from an FPV drone, and goes on ticking.

Russian stupidity hits again. They really can't learn without a few beatings, can they? Why is an A50 flying so low? why is it flying without an escort? what is russian EW and SEAD doing? o_O
I don't know where this happened, though I would assume A-50 (and the damaged Il-22M) would be flying quite far behind the front line. Perhaps the Ukrainians have been given SM-6 on improvised truck launchers? Is there any fundamental reason why SM-6 couldn't be used from a truck? The Americans have had two years to create such a system. No SM-6 deliveries have been announced, however I belive HARM deliveries weren't announced either until Russian Telegram channels started posting photos of the wreckages.

As I understand it, SM-6 can be guided by an AEW&C. So the missiles would likely be controlled by a NATO AEW&C. I don't see what the Russians could do in terms of SEAD or escort in this case. Wouldn't the most rational response be to quickly reduce altitude to break radar line of sight with the guiding AEW&C before the missile gets close enough to use its own radar?

According to Ukranian MoD, the plane was actually quite far in the rear, probably some long ranged ex-soviet system was used in the shoot down?
If true then it was a friendly fire incident. US vastly underestimates its missile ranges like Aim-120D being 160km when a year ago it broke US all time long range shot which was help by Pheonix missile at 130miles, but even this is too far for a PAC2 GEM-T.

In theory the S-200 has enough range to hit a target at that range. Especially a large and slow target like an Il-76.
But for whatever reason thus far the Ukrainians were mostly using it to bombard land targets.
Another possibility is one of the S-300 systems which Greece and Slovakia had. Since the ones Ukraine had were much older types with like half the range.

According to the guys at @fighterbomber, the A-50 crew detected the missile, trying to defend themselves, but their efforts did not work... another plane that is lost due to "friendly fire".... the narrative of the last few weeks, They only tell us that the operators of Russian anti-aircraft systems are especially inept at controlling enemy aircraft and Russian aircraft, especially that internal communications must be the most inept ever seen.... How many friendly fire casualties have the propagandists sold us? Russians? +10?
