Best thing is that these people seem to think that saying "no" to turning over the nukes was even an option. Had the Ukrainians refused to give them up, best case scenario they'd just get sanctioned into oblivion by both sides.
The War in the Ukraine
- Thread starter SampanViking
- Start date
A Geran drone hits it's target in Kyiv.
Partisans struck the Ukrainian post office with Molotov cocktails.
Ukrainian T-72EA gets hit by a fiberoptic drone.
Two Ukrainian mortar sites are struck by drones from the 56th VDV.
Compilation of recent Lancet strikes taking out tanks, trucks, howitzers, and SPGs
Ukrainian tank struck by fiberoptic drones from the Sudaplatov unit. This might be VT-40 with fiberoptic.
Giatsint-S at work on its targets. This SPG is popular among artillerists of the Russian Army with good reason despite its age and being supercedes by the MSTA-S. One reason lies with it's use of Krasnopols. The heavier propellant charge of the Hyacinth howitzers enable a better range over its successor the MSTA howitzers.
M777 taken out by a Lancet.
At one time the Russians were going to obsolete their entire 220mm MLRS category, looking to stick to the 122mm Tornado-G (Modernized Grad) and the 300mm Tornado-S (Modernized Smerch). But war and battle priced otherwise and the Uragan has resurged in popularity among Russia rocker artillery forces.
Ukrainian vehicle, probably a supply transport, was spotted by a Russian UAV and a Lancet was dispatched to finish it off.
As the Russians close in on Pokrovosk, so is intensity of drone attacks on Ukrainian vehicles in the area.
Leopard 2 gets finished off by a fiberoptic drone.
Compilation of drone attacks by the Rubicon Center.
Destroyed Cougar H in the Kursk region.
M113 went off on a mine installed in the Krasnolimansk direction.
Camouflage not good enough. Ukrainian vehicle spotted under camouflage cloth by sharp Russian UAV and gets a drone strike.
Ukrainian hideout and deployment point gets hit by a Molinya drone. These drones either carry a TM-62 anti tank mine or a bunch of thermobaric grenades. Chasiv Yar. By the 299th VDV Regiment.
A Ukrainian shelter and vehicle gets taken out by Krasnopols from a MSTA-S.
Units of the AFU 425th Scala Battalion are attacked by drones from Russian special forces in Peschanoye.

The video provided by Rubicon (Russia's new Unmanned Systems Force) is interesting and shows several attacks carried out with the new FPV drones, which are guided by wires and have night vision.
The Russian industry is already producing this system in series. Nights in Ukraine have become a trap, due to the exceptional image quality.
Footage of an attack by Russian VT-40 FPV drones, controlled via fiber optic cable, on a Ukrainian Leopard 1A5 tank.
