The War in the Ukraine

Just looking at the Snake Island scenario, I don't see Russia providing any higher quality information to back up their claims either.
Capturing Snake Island doesn't make much sense for Ukraine, and without a real navy, neither landing on Snake Island nor capturing it would make much sense for Ukraine. I don't think Ukraine really has any plans to capture Snake Island, if anything, for propaganda purposes, and a similar effect could be achieved by constantly bombing the island (and indeed has been achieved)
However, Russia is forced to pay a continuous price for defending Snake Island, and the capture of Snake Island has far more symbolic than tactical value for Russia.
To be fair to the Russian film industry, compared to the rest of the Russian industry, the Russian film industry, especially the level of CG, is definitely not below its Chinese counterparts. Over the years Russia has provided us with many war films with stunning images, and I feel sorry for you if you really missed them.
Ukrs demilitarized...
In the third image, does anyone know what the weapon on the very right is? I’m pretty certain that isn’t a Javelin.
It's an ammo crate for Javelin, to protect them on transport.
Rare footage of the explosion of the Russian Iskander missile in close proximity to Ukrainian soldiers appeared
Footage of the sortie of the Su-35 fighter in Ukraine. The Su-35 fighter is armed with R-73, R-77 short and medium-range air-to-air missiles, as well as Kh-31P anti-radar missiles
Many battles now in Ukraine have become positional due to the huge number of fortified areas created literally in settlements over 8 years. In this situation, the role of artillery has become more important than ever. One of the key roles in the work of Russian artillery in Ukraine is assigned to the 152-mm Msta-S self-propelled artillery mount. At an arms exhibition in 1993 in Abu Dhabi, Msta-S hit 38 out of 40 targets at a distance of 15 km.

Honestly I do not know anything about the author, but there was potential to learn a little more about an interesting piece of indirect fire software that was ruined by the choice of Twitter? You have a bunch of cut-off sentences and numbers polluting the "article", it made it impossible to read.
Ballistics calculation seems like high school trig, but when you consider the distances (40+ km for 203mm Pion and 155mm Excalibur), then small deflections can create huge inaccuracies. All good software must consider at the very least meteorological conditions and even Coriolis effect (rotation of the earth) at these distances.
He is kind of insulting the US software, maybe its old and clunky, but can this Ukrainian one come up with full battery firing solution? Maybe it could, like I said, it was a crap format and couldn't read it all. Ukrainian programmers are not slouches, so I'm confident that it can be effective.
Some of the NATO countries are already basically down to their bare inventory. I'm sure you saw in the news that Taiwan will not receive any M109, Stingers, or Javelins this year (what happened to that imminent PLA invasion??, lol).
I mentioned this myself before, without even talking about being destroyed by fighting, anything like accidents, rough handling could break an axle, flatten a tire, even stupid things like nuts and bolts might not be available to service foreign equipment. The only logical conclusion is that if these things are to be used on the front line, they will be abandoned immediately if anything goes wrong.
One thing we do know is that they aren't being used on the front line yet for the most part, they are still doing work up training for things like the M777, so there's that.

Russian river crossing disaster.
T-64 became T-72 and UKR or DPR became Russian ? Hard to follow these ever changing video titles...
