AA ammo, especially ammo used close to nearby infrastructure, should have timed fuses to prevent inadvertent damage to nearby infrastructure and personnel. Also, in this instance, given how flat most of the trajectory are, most of the ammo will splash down safely in the water long before it gets close to the buildings on the other side of the harbour.

Ever shot tracers on water ?? The old 303 of my grand father was still reaching at least 2 km while bouncing... hoping that they have fuse there.

Wasn't posted here but a few days ago Crimea was again ATACM and took out a Russian missile ship
-The General Staff confirmed that the Ukrainian Armed Forces hit the 'Tsiklon' missile ship. "According to the updated information, on the night of May 19, the Ukrainian Defense Forces hit Russian Project 22800 missile ship 'Tsiklon' in Sevastopol."

Also Kharkiv front has gone quiet.

Unless they are shooting sabots, HE rounds should explode when impacting water as opposed to skipping.

Footage of an attempted attack by Ukrainian FPV kamikaze drones on a Russian serviceman. There were reportedly 7 drone attacks in total, but not all attacks are shown in the video. It is worth noting that the soldier walks calmly and makes almost no attempt to dodge the drones. But the drones cannot hit the soldier. It is possible that the serviceman is using a portable electronic warfare system. The location of the shooting has not been announced, the video has been shortened.

Russians take out another bridge over the Volchya River. Usually the bridge buster is an X-38ML missile.

Another Ukrainian Bukovel-AD EW complex taken out by Lancet in the Kharkhiv front. Note the Ukrainians putting all EW units in the front to stifle Russian drone activity. Maybe good against FPV drones but to no avail against Lancets.

Russians have more than enough Krasnopols to spare now that these are now used on dugouts and trenches.

Well sadly




It can ended up embedded somewhere like this man's car. It just show the risk of interception in urban area. What was up will go down.
The round was 14.5mm. Had Pantsyr or Tor are used, there might be damage to buildings due to fragments of missile explosion. or fallen booster.

The Muskrat moved all the linking to x.com so its broken. It still works if you manually rewrite any x.com link to twitter.com, though, but it is a hassle.
