Doesn’t matter if North Korean/Iranian ammo are junk. If rumors are to be believed then they are getting ammos from elsewhere too now. Everything is written in perfect Cyrillic but one detail has been neglected.

This is the second time I've heard about this large calibre bass coated steel case technology being invented and unique to China, although I've heard from elsewhere that some years ago this technology was traded to Russians for something in exchange.

Is there more details on this type of propellent case?

Nothing to see here comrade, I guess.

Who said it is Chinese? Are Mexican cars exported to the US Chinese as well?

M113 gets hit by a mine performing a maneuver. Many of these mine hits look like to me coming from remote or jumping mines. This is at Kurakhovsky.


Leleka-100 UAV gets shot down by a Russian missile. Likely an Igla or Tor on this one.


Lancet takes out an MT-12 Rapira antitank gun.


FABs with UMPK arriving on Ukrainian positions in Novomikhailovka.


X-38ML air to ground missile hits a pontoon bridge across the Oskol River, towards Kupyansk, Kharkhiv region. Bridge is used to supply Ukrainian forces in Kupyansk and Xinkovka.


Ukrainian soldier notes the superiority of Russian body armor over Ukrainian ones. "All the bullets that fell into the center did not break the plate, there was no exit. They are equipped better than we are".


In the Kharkhiv region, Lancet takes out a Ukrainian SPG assigned to bombard Russian border settlements.


Warehouses of the AFU in Olhovatki, Kharkhiv region, gets hit with multiple FABs.


LMUR strikes at a warehouse used by the AFU.


T-72M1 of the 3rd Azov Brigade knocked out in Novomikhailovka.


British AS-90 SPG gets taken out by Lancet.

Boy oh boy. Please use sources that ARE AT LEAST OBJECTIVE and not COPY WORD FOR WORD what SOUTH KOREA SPEWS and FALUN GONG source because that's EMBARRASSING.

To be fair that is a pretty mild claim by FLG standards…

Plasma cannons supplied by aliens is more their usual lane.

Reports indicate that the United States recently used its F-35 fighter jets to detect and identify Russian anti-aircraft missile systems in Ukraine and this information was transferred to NATO countries.

As if the Russians wouldn't detect an F-35 operating close to the front. They have long wave radar which reaches halfway into Europe.



That is the operating range of the 29B6 Container radar.

Any large enough aircraft which flies at altitude will be detected by the Russians it is as simple as that. Why do you think the Ukrainians fly at dangerously low altitude when operating close to the front line? And why would the US use the F-35 when they have drones to do this task? This just strains credibility.

I thought the Russians barely had any Soviet era steel plates to put in their armor and were using airsoft equipment instead of military grade one like the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine claimed. So it turns out they have latest generation ceramic plates? Oh well.

Does Ukraine not have the money to buy plates from China?

The volume of high ballistic levels (III+, IV) plates needed is probably way higher than what can be sourced at this point. We talk in excess of a million armor vest needed in the past 3 years in Ukraine from both sides.

So buying from unreliable quality source is a risk. It's possible that a lot of troop get only level III or IIIA armor. Better than nothing and protect from pellets frags.

Most wounds are not from bullets anyway.

I still dont know how this F-16 shit will get resolved, let's say they do withstand bombing because short range air defenses cover them and Russia manages to capture northern Ukraine. Will the Russians do anything if Ukraine's F-16s launch air to ground missiles from NATO's airspace, can they choose to shoot them down in NATO's airspace with SAMs or air to air missiles if they don't choose to bomb NATO's runways hosting the aircrafts?(every pro and anti russian fan here knows Russians won't be bombing NATO's runways if Ukraine uses them to bomb Russians)

bro do you really think they would fly this aircraft into ukraine after the aircraft self ejected its own pilot? you can use satellites to identify SAM positions.
