The War in the Ukraine

Ukrainian ammunition delivery truck in the Vovchansk area hit by Lancet with subsequent detonation.


During the last prisoner exchange, there was an exchange of corpses, 45 Russian dead to 212 Ukrainian dead. That's like 1:5-6 in favor of the Russians. There's also 1348 Russian prisoners vs. 6465 Ukrainian prisoners (Putin quote) which is also a near 1:5 ratio.

The Vega SPN does it again, this time they FPV droned a Leopard.


RM-70 Vampire MLRS taken out by a Lancet strike.


The havoc caused by a mere repurposed naval decoy launcher. Smerch-2 or RBU-6000 used against Ukrainian positions in Volchansk.


Favorite hangout spot and cafe in Slavyansk for Ukrainian military and foreign mercenaries, the Shinok Cafe, got Iskandered.


Another Iskander arrives in Odessa.


In the age of drone and missiles let's not forget good old direct line of sight gunfire still works. A Russian MT-12 Rapira (Rapier) hits a Ukrainian trench. The Ukrainians also have this vintage antitank gun too, and both sides have been using it to great effect. Not to say both sides also lost a number of these guns in conflict but that's testimony of its front line usage. One advantage of this gun is that it's very accurate and takes out targets with one shot.

Drones tracked Ukrainian soldiers to their hideout, which is then hit with a LMUR missile.


FAB, maybe the -1500 version, hits a building in Ugledar used as a defensive positions by Ukrainian soldiers. This front is heating up again.


FPV drones hitting Ukrainian engineering equipment engaged in creating fortifications.


Abrams hit by FPV drone in the Avdeyevka Ocheretino front. By the Siberian Association.


Accurate artillery fire from the Buryats.


T-64BV going full speed but not fast enough as the Lancet strikes from the back.


Ukrainian positions hit by incendiaries from Grad MLRS.


Lancet takes out another Ukrainian D-20 howitzer and an Akasya in the Kharkhiv sector.


Russian Gvozdikas open fire on a sighted Ukrainian position in the Donetsk.


Ukrainian sea drones attack a Russian tugboat.


Lancet strike on an Su-25 in an air field in the Dnipropetrovosk region. Looks damaged only.


Ukrainian command post in Kherson hit by UMPB D-30SN. Compared to FABs, which are makeshift, UMPB are made and optimized for gliding, allowing them to travel much farther than FABs. The weapon is also meant to be launched from Tornado-S as well as from aircraft.


Another D-30SN strike, this time on a Ukrainian deployment point, which contains ammunition and weapons.


An article that shows some open sourced insights on this.


Russian special forces hit two Ukrainian APCs with ATGMs.

Impact of 4 D-30SN guided bombs on the command post of the Ukrainian army. The Russian army has begun to use in Ukraine the new D-30SN guided interspecific air-gliding munition. The video shows footage of attacks on the command post of the Ukrainian army, in the village of Dneprovskoe, by four D-30SN guided bombs launched from a Su-34 aircraft. The flight range of the D-30SN can reach 160 km or more; when dropped from a height of 12 km, it can also be launched from MLRS. The D-30SN guided aerial bomb has a warhead weighing 250 kg, and the deflection of the bomb from the target does not exceed five meters. The design of the UMPB D-30SN ammunition consists of a warhead, a control unit, a jet engine and wings that deploy in flight.

Mirage 2000 for Ukraine ? Not a lot of veteran pilots left to train on F-16... adding another type to train on is even more nonsense.

Ukraine will train more pilots eventually with all the western help. The question is if Russia's air force can add more planes and pilots in the meantime to make sure they retain the advantage. They should be having wartime production of fighter jets now. They can sacrifice on navy a bit to focus on army and the air force for the time being.

Train more pilots from zero take years and it take more years to train good pilots.... so Ukraine will have these proficient pilots in 2029 or something ? It take a minimum of 4 years to train a new fighter pilot.

You can definitely cut that time down in wartime.

Might be foriegner pilots.

So you will not have proficient pilots against trained veterans with better machineries, what can go wrong...
