So the reason in the panicked Russian evacuation film showing the BPM turning over was one of the guys was lying across the drivers windscreen when he was travelling at speed...

Although in Ukrainian watch the film, 39 seconds in shows the hits the Bushmaster is taking without a problem, they have requested more and Australia has agreed another 30 ish.

Australia is transferring another 30 "Bushmaster" Infantry Protected Mobility Vehicle 4x4 to Ukraine in addition to the 60 delivered earlier. Australia also sends 70 highly professional military specialists to the UK to train Ukrainian soldiers there

As grotesque as each one of these attacks is, and as much that they further blacken the name of Russia, they are acting to increase the resolve of the Ukrainians, giving motivation with each impact, and diminishing Russia's stockpile of weapons to use against actual militarily significant targets.

"Victorious warriors win first and then go to war, while defeated warriors go to war first and then seek to win.”

Russia is ensuring the earlier failure of their federation by every day that they continue this needless ego trip of V.V. Putin.

Agreed, it reminds me of London during WW2 they may be hitting cities and civilian targets, but they are wasting and using up precious missiles, while the Army grows stronger and targets their military assets and capability to wage war..

Over 70 spent 152 cases.... He has been raining destruction on defenders of a state that his country has invaded to fulfil the ego of one guy. He may have been a composer, an artist, a teacher, but now he is probably a terrible memory with his family. Perhaps that acts to bring home the brutality of what the Russians have been considering as being a glorious fight against... what, Nazi's, mosquito virus programs, dirty bombs??? The existential threat to Russia resides from within the walls of the Kremlin, and the sooner that the Russian population get that point from their propaganda media, if ever, then the sooner they bring home their surviving kin. So far there is supposedly around 70K RUF dead, 3 times that injured, and the interceptions suggest that those figures are not exaggerated, they may be under reported. Back home, that impacts 5 - 10 times as many family, friends and other military that have not been to the front, but who will get the story. There is no way that the truth of what has happened in Ukraine by the Russians doesn't get to be known fully in the wider population, and at that point, Vlad may be wishing for as much support and care as Mussolini and Nicolae Ceaușescu received from their fans after the wheels fell off their delusions.

I get that, Just a terrible way to die, he should have rolled over and over to try to put it out, but I guess he had other things on his mind.

The Russians are rather unhappy with the UK.

The snow on the ground makes me think this is an old video; I checked both Kyiv and Moscow weather and it's still warmish.

On an AK the safety must be Off in order to charge it. If On, the safety will mechanically block the action from cycling fully.

News reports America to accelerate the deployment of tactical nuclear weapons to front line Nato countries.
Upping the ante.
