The War in the Ukraine

Tam said:

In addition to upgrades, Russia will produce 750 Iskander-M and 560 X-101 cruise missiles for 2025, according to RUSI. That's like 62 Iskanders and 46 X-101 per month. The explosive warhead is doubled for the Iskander and improvements are made to the X-101's optical guidance system and trap shooting system to defeat SAMs.

Andriy Yusov, a spokesman for the Main Intelligence Directorate of Ukraine’s Defense Ministry, Russia was producing about 50 Iskanders per month and was also increasing its stockpile of other types of missiles. This appears to align with RUSI’s conclusion.

President Trump will attend the May 9 Victory Day in Moscow.


Ukraine doesn't have the rare earths Trump is looking for.

Two Ukrainian BMP-1s were finished off in the Kursk region by drones from the 106th VDV. The EW modules were pointless against fiberoptic drones. You never see BMP-1 with the original turret on the Russian side anymore.

Ukrainian 2S1 Gvozdika taken out by two fiberoptic drones in the Kupyansk region. After the fall of the Soviet Union, both Russia and Ukraine inherited their share of the SPG's stockpile but a bigger share went to Ukraine where it was actually built and maintained in the Kharkhiv Tank Plant. During the war, the EU continues to buy out Gvozdikas in the arms market, from other European nations and send them to Ukraine.

Footage of a Russian VT-40 FPV drone, controlled via fiber optic cable, attacking a Ukrainian ground tracked drone. The video was filmed in the Donbass near the village of Belgiyka. Judging by the video, the Ukrainian tracked drone was used for transport purposes. The Ukrainian drone is motionless, perhaps the connection with it is broken or the battery is dead, it is possible that it is simply waiting for the cargo to be picked up.

Footage of a strike by a Russian FAB bomb with a UMPK module on a temporary deployment point for Ukrainian units located in a forest. The video was filmed near Sudzha, in the Kursk region of Russia. The bomb was dropped by a Russian Su-34 aircraft, the type of bomb is not reported. Based on the explosion and the fact that the bomb is large and clearly visible even from a distance, it can be assumed that the strike was carried out by a FAB-3000 bomb. Part of the explosion energy was absorbed by the trees.

You can literally change the prompt to change the framing of any online content. Imo AI outputs should be banned from this forum, it adds nothing to the conversation and is easily propagandised. Why bother participating if you're just copy pasting from a machine and not offering any original insight.

If Ukraine has nuke Russia would try take those, day one, much before the Ukrainians even had the chance to use them, probably using nukes too.

Gerans struck a Ukrainian oil facility in Karlovka, Poltava. Facility deleted.


FAB arrival, probably at Slavyansk.


Four FABs arrive on a Ukrainian UAV command and deployment point in the Kherson region.


Large Ukrainian ammo and equipment depot is destroyed in Slavyansk by multiple FAB-250 bombs with UMPK.


Destroyed and abandoned Ukrainian vehicles in the Sumy region. We see an old style BMP-1 with the original turret and 76mm gun. The vehicles are part of a destroyed armored column in Novenkoye in the Sumy region. The others looks like a mixed bag of Finnish and Swedish APCs, Maxxpros and T-64BV.


Iskander-M arrived in Krivoy Rog at a restaurant and hotel. Once again, a hotel target is said to be used by foreign mercenaries and NATO advisers.


New altitude bomb for UAV ready to go into production in Russia. The bomb can be dropped by a UAV from a high altitude and will detonate in mid air at a specified altitude for maximum fragment area of effect.


Kozak-7 taken out by the 810rd Marine Brigade in Sudja.


Gerans arriving in Kyiv.


Strike compilation of the 200th now Guards Artillery Brigade with Group East/Vostok. These look like Krasnopol strikes including at night using thermals on the targeting UAV.


FAB strikes on shipyard in the Kherson region. Could be a place where Ukraine is making sea drones.


Strike arrival on Odessa. Usually shipments from NATO are intercepted by Gerans and missiles on ports and warehouses.


Compilation of arty and drone strikes by the 34th Guards Brigade on Pogrebki, Kursk region against AFU units.


Compilation of drone strikes against Ukrainian telecom and communication towers in the Zaporozhye area by the Shaman unit of the 1455th Regiment. Things are heating up in the area that points to a possible Russian offensive.

I think the French Magazine Le point said may, Trump may attend the May 9th Victory Day ceremony in Moscow. I doubt it though, still a bit too early for Trump to visit Moscow.

Operators of Russian FPV drones controlled via fiber optic cable showed a large destroyed column of armored vehicles of the Ukrainian army near the border village of Novenkoe in the Sumy region of Ukraine. Earlier it was reported that Russian troops crossed the border of the Sumy region of Ukraine and began moving towards the villages of Novenkoe and Basovka. The video shows damaged and abandoned Ukrainian armored personnel carriers XA-180, an armored vehicle International MaxxPro, a T-64BV tank, an armored personnel carrier Pbv 302, an infantry fighting vehicle with a destroyed turret and next to it, presumably an armored vehicle "Kozak". Also shown are drone strikes on the Ukrainian BMP-1 and the armored personnel carrier Pbv 302 from this column. Presumably, all the equipment was destroyed by drones.

Now that winter is over Russia has launched the largest Geran-2 air raid yet in this war, 267 launched, AFU claim to have shot about half of them down plus soft killed most of the the remaining. Targeted at remaining Ukrainian energy facilities. By January Russia has already reduced Ukraine's natural gas production capacity to 40% of pre-war level, these attacks in Feb will further reduce that value.
