Such precision. The bombs exploded at exactly the same distances from each other. Four FAB-250s hit Ukrainian positions in this forest line, no bomb missed the line. This at Urozhayne, Yuzhno Donetsk.

Russian missile strikes 500 meters from Zelensky and Greek PM's convoy in Odessa. To me that's an indication the missile hit a base where the leaders recently visited.

ZALA Z-16. This UAV, stealthily introduced into the battlefield, has become an important factor. Compilation video of it's sucess including spotting various targets quickly and efficiently so they can be targeted by artillery and Lancets. An example is the recent Abrams kill. Other examples includes tracking Baba Yagas back to their home nest where it is hit with a precision strike.

Russian drone bombs a Ukrainian vehicle with a twist. The footage is recorded in third person by a second drone. By the Klen Battalion of the 247th VDV so this should be in Verbove.

Dramatic footage. Ukrainian tank attacks Russian position and firing on it. The Ukrainian tank gets a direct hit from artillery and is left burning but still managed to retreat. One by one the Russian soldiers in that position manages to emerge out of that position alive.

The first clear images have been published of a defeat in the Nikanorovka area, 40 kilometers from the front line, of the Ukrainian M142 HIMARS MLRS of American production. The HIMARS MLRS was developed in 1996, the firing range of the MLRS, the new PrSM tactical missile is up to 400 km, the video is on the channel, these missiles are not supplied to Ukraine. Presumably the HIMARS MLRS was destroyed by the new 300 mm Russian 9M544 or 9M549 missile used in the Tornado-S MLRS, we previously reported on them. The missiles are guided by Glonass coordinates and are capable of hitting targets at a range of up to 120 kilometers. As a result of the Tornado-S missile strike, the HIMARS MLRS installation and a vehicle with missiles or ammunition nearby were destroyed; the video shows spontaneous missile launches. There is a version that the strike was carried out by an Iskander missile, but Iskander missiles usually leave a crater with a diameter of about 10 meters.

Footage of the battle, the crew of the large landing ship "Caesar Kunikov" project 775, the Russian Black Sea Fleet, with the Ukrainian naval drone "Magura V5". Previously, we published this fight filmed on drone cameras. The ship was reportedly attacked by ten naval drones on February 14, four of which were destroyed by small arms fire. The remaining drones hit the port side and stern, after which the ship tilted and subsequently sank; this has not been officially confirmed. The crew could not repel this attack, since judging by the video, the ship is not equipped with additional turrets on the sides. The crew does not have thermal imagers or night vision devices; the fire is conducted from conventional small arms; the battle lasted 20 minutes. Attacks on ships began to be carried out by dozens of drones; not a single ship can now repel such an attack; ships need to be equipped with additional means of defense.

TASS is reporting that Zaluzhyii has been moved being the ambassador of the UK. The source that TASS says is Yevheniy Shevchenko or the 76th Region, Peoples Deputy of Ukraine. Resignation is expected around Feb 8, which matches what Pravda Ukraine is claiming.

Official confirmation. Zaluzhnyi has finally been shipped off to the British. Enjoy your exile on the British Isles.

On Thursday, Mar. 7, 2024, the President of Ukraine approved the candidacy of Valerii Zaluzhny for the post of the Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary Ambassador of Ukraine to the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine sent a corresponding request for an agrément from the British side, the statement of Ukraine's MFA press service says.

Not really widely deployed until the attack on the USS Cole
Of course that happened in Yemen
I had noted in an unrelated earlier post that USN has been considering this kind of threat for many years now because of the Middle East waters, and it's probably a weakness that Ukrainian planners are aware of with their familiarity with Ex-USSR ships and operations.

China has a similar 30mm with E/O: H/PJ-17

Shooting at naval drones with guns is always going to be a sub-optimal approach. The best approach is to have a quad packable hellfire class VLS missile. A more off-the-shelf solution would be to use helicopters with hellfire class missiles. A medium term more sustainable and scalable option might be to use naval UCAV helicopter drones with hellfire class missiles.

The Russians can buy a bunch of Chinese civilian firefighting heli-drones and integrate their own ATGMs onto them and potentially have a hard counter to naval drones in a matter of months.

I don't think these things are mounted on small corvettes though. I can't recall a similar system on any LCS off the top of my head.
