Russians also captured Volchansk finally but that seems to be a forgotten city by now. Russians are engaging in street battles in Lyman, Stefnogersk (wrong spelling), Seversk, Konstantinovka, Myrnograd, Rodensky, Hrynske, Gulyaypole, and several other settlements at the same time. One third of Konstantinovka is claimed to be already taken.
The description said 'Geran' but it's likely to be a new type of smaller, more mobile, optically guided kamekaze drone. The impact from a Geran with a 90kg warhead would be far more substantial.
Howitzer gets it's maximum range around 45 degrees elevation. Over that and under that, the range tends to get less, with the higher elevations meant to lob the projectile over obstacles and irregular ground. Based on the footage and looking at the gun elevation, the guns are firing near their maximum range which is safe to stay away from enemy drones as much as possible. But even at far ranges, the SPG fires only a few shells before it quickly retreats or hides. The greater distance does allow a greater time margin of escape.
Footage of armored vehicle are getting rare, most assaults are via ATV. But in thick fog, armored vehicles are making their assaults. Here a BMP-3 is doing it's thing. We have more months when we can expect more fog blitz. Fog blitzkrieg goes all the way back to World War 2, it's not a new tactic.
Recently released but it's old footage as both opposing tanks are naked, not grilled as they should be in recent times. Here a Russian tank takes out a Ukrainian tank both T-72s. The Russian one is a -B3M, the recent variant which you can tell visually from it's ERA. The Ukrainian one is an old type, likely an -M1. The Russian tank nailed the Ukrainian one but this footage is honest enough to show it's entire length where the crew still managed to survive and got out, instead of clipping away the footage where the crew gets out to make it look like they didn't. So right to the final end, this tank still managed to protect the crew. I have seen enough footage to see disabled Soviet tanks with their hatches open. While some crews are unfortunate to not escape, and even the turrets gets blown up, I would say my overall impression is that these tanks are more survivable than what the blogosphere suggest you to think.
