The War in the Ukraine

The first footage of attacks by Russian FPV drones "Prince Vandal Novgorodsky", controlled via fiber optic cable, on the Ukrainian two-link transporter-tractor "Bv 206". The video was filmed in the Kharkiv region of Ukraine. Previously, the all-terrain vehicle was used by the 141st infantry brigade of the Ukrainian army.
The tracked articulated all-terrain vehicle Bandvagn 206 was developed in Sweden in 1974, and is still actively used today. Due to the low ground pressure, not all anti-tank mines explode under it. The carrying capacity of the all-terrain vehicle "Bv 206" is about 2240 kg, it can carry up to 17 soldiers.
Judging by the video, the Ukrainian all-terrain vehicle Bv 206 was attacked by several Russian FPV drones, as a result of which the all-terrain vehicle was destroyed.

The Russian Tigers unit, which uses FPV drones controlled via fiber optic cable, has released footage of an attack on a Ukrainian military convoy in the Kursk region of Russia. The convoy includes a German-made Leopard 2A6 tank, a Russian-made Kamaz truck, and presumably an American-made Humvee armored vehicle. No drones were used for surveillance, so the extent of damage to the military equipment is unclear. The exact location of the footage has not been reported.

This is something new, possibly a new kind of guided munition, which can be Russian or North Korean. The footage is from the weapon being used by the Russians 155th Marines Brigade in Kursk region. The Kursk sector is frequently used to test and introduce new weapons, alongside the Kharkhiv-Volchansk sector which used to be the "it" place for new weapons until Kursk came.

The use of FPV drones controlled via fiber optic cable was demonstrated by the 155th Separate Guards Brigade of the Russian Marine Corps. The servicemen showed episodes of using drones on their section of the front in the Kursk region of Russia. Judging by the video, the unit mainly attacked Ukrainian M2A2 Bradley ODS-SA IFVs with drones. The video also shows a French-made VAB armored personnel carrier, a Humvee armored vehicle, and an American-made M777 howitzer. The M2A2 Bradley IFVs are equipped with the Ukrainian version of the Mangal mesh protection. Surveillance drones were not used in the attacks. The official report states that five Ukrainian M2A2 Bradley ODS-SA IFVs were destroyed.

A Russian serviceman witnessed a close explosion of a cluster munition in Ukraine. It is believed to have been an American 155mm M864 DPICM cluster artillery shell, used by the Ukrainian army in M777 howitzers. The M864 shell contains 48 M42 submunitions weighing 208 grams and 24 M46 submunitions weighing 213 grams. When the M864 shell explodes, it produces up to 300 fragments with a lethal radius of up to 6 meters.

Just show how little people actually know about Soviet nuclear industry. long story short, it doesnt involve Ukraine in any part except the rockets. Russia doesnt have any shortages in ballistic missile design bureaus.. with big names like NPO Mashinostroyenia (UR-100 family), Moscow Institute of Thermal Technology (MITT), Makayev OKB and all still running. While Ukraine have just Yuzhnoye or Yangel OKB.

All the design bureaus and industries that designed and manufacturing the warhead, encryption equipment, communications etc are in Russia proper. Those nukes never belong to Ukraine in the first place. Even the Encryption keys and communications to transmit launch orders are in Russia.

The only viable alternative for Ukraine to get nukes is a nuclear sharing agreement with NATO/US in the same manner as deployment of Russian nuclear weapons in Belarus or AUKUS which can allow US and British nukes deployment in Australia.

Yeah, people think that because the RT-23 and other IRBM's were made in Ukraine, everything else must have been made in Ukraine too. Something similar happens with tanks, with some people honestly believing the USSR's tank manufacturing was mostly based in Ukraine and the T-80 was an Ukranian tank when most of it was 100% within Russia.
