Cruise missiles attacking Kiev.
T-90M is on par with M1A2 and Type 99A2.
THAT IS UNRELATED TO THE UKRAINIAN WAR THREAD.

The Western mainstream and Ukranian news (today and yesterday) have been posting heavily that Dvornikov has been sacked, which seems like another round of "[X general] has been removed for poor performance". The Russians have been making massive progress on the Donbass front, their tactics are working no doubt about it. Even the Ukranians announced a withdrawal from Severodonetsk. I suspect this will just be another case of a general actually fighting the war he's in charge of, as opposed to PR appearances. There were similar news about Shoigu being side-lined months back, but that has turned out to be clearly nonsense.Shoigu went to the front for a visit, although I don't see Dvornikov anywhere. Curious to know who's in overall command of the ops now.
720 killed + (probably triple of that in wounded). RIPAttacks launched by aviation, missile troops and artillery have resulted in the elimination of over 720 nationalists, 12 tanks and other armoured combat vehicles, as well as 16 special vehicles.
The enemy unsuccessfully attempted to launch attacks by aviation and MRLS at Snake Island.
◽️The attack was repelled by Pantsir-S air defence missile and gun system and has resulted in the destruction of 1 Su-25 airplane of Ukrainian Air Force and 12 rockets.
◽️Neither victims among garrison personnel, nor damage have been caused.
The usage of conscripts will lead to more deaths. Simply because these guys have very little training which will lead to accidents, confused communications, blue on blue shootings, poor discipline, low morale etc. They also won’t know how to use advanced equipments which will lead to more deaths and injuries. Once they come face to face with Russian firepower they will fold or die en masse. These territorial defense forces should be in reserve doing rear guard work. Or sent to the major cities like Odessa, Kharkov etc because urban warfare is easier for the defender. Instead they are sending them to the frontline to get annihilated. This talk of a big counteroffensive in August or the fall is not going to happen. Once the Donbas is finished I expect Russia to take mor territory at a rapid pace. Soon the majority of the UAF will be filled with Territorial Defense conscripts.
