The War in the Ukraine

Seems at least 4 Patriot launchers and IRIS-T launchers got hit today



IRIS-T


Also a possible 4th HIMARS


Hefty price tag for a couple of bridges

Not with an Iskander. The S-125 SAM takeout was accomplished using an X-35 Uran antiship missile fired from an Su-34.

Vikhr missile will now include unmanned platforms for launching. It also includes the Su-25 but I wonder why I have not seen that. It also includes small patrol craft and so I wonder if this has been used against Ukrainian sea drones.


Agriculture remote mine layer at work in the Kursk region. This could massively slow down the front and cut off forward units.


Remote mines for Grad and Tornado-G systems. Such munitions could have a crippling effect on an offensive. Pictured are 9M16 with five POM-2 antipersonnel and 9M28K with three PTM-3 antitank mines.

The 103rd Brigade of the AFU is said to have suffered immense casualties in the Kursk region.


One BTR-82A of the 810rd Marine Brigade took out three Ukrainian APCs. Should be the two Kozaks and a BTR-4E shown earlier. This should be as part of a deadly ambush the 810rd pulled against a Ukrainian convoy, possibly the 82nd Airborne of the AFU. Recently a modification to the BTR-82 was shown in the Army2024 show with a new combat module that includes two ATGMs, which highlights the need for increased defensibility as APCs and IFVs are encountering each other.

So people aren't confused, I mentioned that there isn't one but a small number of Akhmat units or brigades, one of them in Chasiv Yar. This particular Akhmat unit is the one that fought on its ground in Kleeshevka defending it, later counter attacking, and after helping to regain it, has since advanced past the Kanal south of Chasiv Yar.


Surrendering Ukrainian units in Dzerzhinsk. All surrendered to a drone. Russian MoD announced capture of the settlement.

Footage of the Russian Zemledeliye mining machine in action in the Kursk region of Russia. The Zemledeliye remote mining machine fires 122 mm rockets, according to some sources 140 mm, performing remote mining in the border areas of the Sumy region of Ukraine. The ammunition currently includes two rockets with mines of different types, which is enough to solve most typical tasks. The Zemledeliye remote mining engineering system machine began to be used in Ukraine since 2022. Technical information about the Zemledeliye mining machine is in the link to the video in the comments to the video.

The new FPV drone "Prince Vandal Novgorodsky" controlled via fiber optic cable has begun to be used by the Russian army in the Kursk region. The Russian FPV drone "Prince Vandal Novgorodsky" was developed by the Novgorod Scientific and Production Center "Ushkuynik", the manufacturer did not provide technical details and photos of the drone.
As reported, the drone was used in the Kursk region to attack Ukrainian armored vehicles about seven times. Control of the drone "Vandal" via fiber optic cable provides complete invulnerability from electronic warfare equipment, and you can also see excellent image quality. The disadvantages of this method of controlling the drone include limitations on range and flight routes and a higher price for the drone.
