The Russian army has once again begun using the UR-77 Meteorite self-propelled mine-clearing rocket launchers to attack Ukrainian army positions. The UR-77 operates on the following principle: a hose with a large amount of explosives is fired at a range of about 500 meters, after which an explosion occurs, and the mines detonate from the shock wave. This creates safe corridors for the passage of infantry. The installation is used mainly in forests. In this case, the UR-77 is used not for mine clearance, but for attacks. Unofficially, the UR-77 is called the Serpent Gorynych. The UR-77 is also used by the Ukrainian army.

Tornado-S arrived on Ukrainian forces hiding in a forest. People still call possible Tornado-S attacks as Iskanders. I think they are Tornado-S rather than Iskanders for these reasons. First the explosions seems small for an Iskanders. Second is that these targets do not look too valuable for me to use an Iskander. Third is that there are multiple rockets being used on these targets which makes it even more of a waste to use a larger rocket.
The footage with infrared is likely to be in my opinion to be Tornado-S rockets but the rocket that hit a plant being used as a hanger and deployment point should be an Iskander. In my opinion Iskanders are spared and used on hardened targets like infrastructure while Tornado-S are used on more time critical but open targets in the field.

Interesting that the much-hyped Kursk incursion was a total blip compared to the failed "counter-offensive" last year.
There's been a clear increase in Western media reports about Ukraine's escalating crisis lately. It's a sign that the backstab is near.
