Is it me or has it gone quiet on the Iranian drone front? How many drones did they buy from Iran?
The War in the Ukraine

It hasn't gone quiet:
Drone attack has become standard daily routine so it's not reported on as much any more unless it's heavier than usual or has cruise missiles mixed in.
Is that real? That's got to be the biggest swarm caught on camera in the conflict so far.
The are promoting Kh-58uske missile for export Su-57E. and this most likely missile they are using it as it has capability guided by aircraft acquisition system. size of this missile is about same as R-37M
if target is at low altitude it may show up. it is not like these missiles are at maximum speed at all flight profiles.
Which war ended because civilians suffered too much? Not too many. This is getting close to a war of ideology at this point, so I don't see how lights off is going to bring Ukraine to the talking table.
According to one Russian YouTuber, Russia was suffering paint problems already 2-3 months ago. She showed Russia made products in a supermarket lacking the usual colors.
She is in (voluntary) exile now.
The US War in Yugoslavia. But Serbia had basically no one supporting them lest of all pushing them to continue at all costs. The Ukrainian elites are fully in on this war since they can just flee to the West even if the whole country goes into the shitter.
Making pigments is a lot harder than some people think. But the paints you use in paper and metal are not the same thing. Besides the civilian sector is one thing and the military sector quite another. For example Russia has certain kinds of military specific paints applied to tanks which you won't be able to find in the commercial sector which improve tank stealth characteristics.
An episode of the work of Russian artillerymen with a gun - howitzer D-20. The Soviet 152-mm D-20 howitzer was put into service in 1953, howitzers of this series were used in many conflicts and are in service with a large number of countries, including the Ukrainian army. The maximum range of howitzer fire with a conventional projectile is 17400 meters, with an active reactive projectile 24 kilometers. Howitzer deployment time 2 minutes, calculation 8 people. More details about the work of artillerymen in Ukraine in the video.
Germany handed over to Ukraine its advanced TRML-4D radar from HENSOLDT. The TRML-4D radar was developed in 2018 and is intended for the IRIS-T SLM air defense system, which we will talk about later. The radar is capable of tracking up to 1,500 flying objects at an altitude of up to 30 kilometers and tracking them at a distance of up to 150 km for aircraft and 60 km for supersonic missiles. A four-dimensional radar is capable of identifying targets not only by range, height and speed, but also by its size, just like the radars of the Russian S-400 air defense system do. The TRML-4D radar unit includes an onboard power generator and can be transported by any truck. While one TRML-4D radar has been delivered to Ukraine, 3 more will be delivered in 2023.
The crew of the Russian Tor-M2 air defense system spoke about their combat work on UAVs in Ukraine. The calculation shot down the UAV of the army of Ukraine "Fury" and "Valkyrie". SAM Tor-M2 is considered one of the best systems for working on small targets.
The Ukrainian army began to use the Swedish light anti-ship system RBS-17. The complex is capable of firing at ground targets. The Robotsystem 17 was developed in 1987 and is a transportable tripod for a rocket launcher. RBS-17 uses the American AGM-114C Hellfire missile with a high-explosive fragmentation warhead and a semi-active laser seeker that requires target illumination. Several RBS-17 launchers can operate under the control of one observation station. The RBS-17 complex was discontinued in the nineties. The firing range of the RBS-17 complex is 10 km.
