A Ukrainian Armed Forces soldier criticizes the defense line of the Sumy region. Footage shows a Ukrainian serviceman criticizing the dismissed head of the Sumy Military Administration, Valeriy Artyukh, for the defensive fortifications built in Ukraine's Sumy region. At first glance, the defensive line appears to be well-constructed, but it lacks bunkers and cover from drone strikes. Currently, such defensive fortifications cannot be used, as artillery and drones are currently the main threats. According to the author, 20 billion hryvnias were spent on the construction of Ukrainian fortifications, which translates to 475 million dollars.

Amount of metal in the fields of Ukraine will be astonishing after the war... brass and steel for years to salvage and retrieve. Adding all the mines in the process will certainly add to the mountain of work ahead.

Fiber optic cable mess will certainly be harder to do something with it have no real value.

A resident of Ukraine's Zaporizhia region showed the Ukrainian army's colossal, multi-layered defense line near the village of Novomykolaivka. The video shows anti-tank obstacles, ditches, and barbed wire. It's worth noting that this has never been seen before. The video also includes a Ukrainian army defense line near the city of Kramatorsk.

A video of a homemade 122-mm MLRS system used by the Ukrainian army has been published. The system is mounted on a German BMW 740i. It's worth noting that this isn't the first time the Ukrainian army has mounted BM-21 Grad MLRS rockets on BMW vehicles. The reason for using BMWs is unknown. Theoretically, this system has a range of up to 42 km.

The precision of these makeshift launchers surely without proper testing are probably enough to shot a rocket into a 1km square target...

Drone footage of Ukrainian army defensive fortifications in the Zaporizhia region. Ukraine's line of defense is multi-layered, including anti-tank obstacles, ditches, barbed wire, and possibly mines. According to Ukrainian Defense Minister Shmyhal, 2,130 platoon strongpoints, over 3,000 kilometers of anti-tank ditches, and over 1,000 kilometers of defensive pyramids have already been constructed. 16,000 kilometers of Egoza-type barrier lines and 4,300 kilometers of low-visibility obstacles have also been installed. Defensive fortifications are being built in the Donbas, Zaporizhia, Sumy, Kharkiv, Chernihiv, and Kyiv regions.

Ukraine's 425th Separate Assault Regiment "Skala" displayed the US-made M1A1 Abrams tanks they are using. Forty-nine decommissioned M1A1 Abrams tanks were delivered to Ukraine from Australia. Previously, 31 M1A1 SA Abrams tanks were also delivered from the US, and they were used by the 47th Separate Mechanized Brigade "Magura." As The New York Times reported in March 2025, Ukraine had 11 tanks left from the American shipment; other sources say five tanks remain. The M1A1 Abrams tanks from the American shipment have now been withdrawn from the front lines. Tanks from the Australian shipment are already in use; their use was recently demonstrated in the Donbas. In the Ukrainian version, the M1A1 Abrams tanks have been fitted with additional blocks of the Soviet-era Kontakt-1 dynamic armor. A folding mesh grill has also been installed on the roof of the M1A1 Abrams to protect against drones.
