US and Greece are working on a deal to transfer 60 Bradley's to Ukraine, there is a loophole where the President can donate equipment to countries I believe, and they are working on donating some stuff Greece may need, heck maybe even Bradley's in exchange for them donating the items they have...same goes for Ecuador.

The latest picture of Myria Progress has been made and one hopes the removed parts are being worked on.

In your opinion, how many rounds would you say is enough to put into a dugout you neither know the size of, nor how many people it may contain?

It's easy to criticise when it's not you doing the trench clearing.

My understanding is there is a second airframe so presumably they are looking at the wreck to salvage parts for that. I doubt this airframe is salvageable?

A Bradley hits an anti tank mine, manages to back up a bit, expend their ammo at the target then abandon it.

Inside a YPR-765 when it is hit, the other one retreats and the crew of the first leave on foot.

​​​​​​​Two of the five missiles fired by Russian forces at Kharkiv in the morning were North Korean KN-23, by preliminary conclusions - Serhii Bolvinov, head of the regional police investigation department. He showed a photo of the fragments.

"The metal fragments of the ballistic missiles were collected by explosives experts on the territory of the industrial zone. Preliminary conclusions of experts are that these are North Korean HVASON 11GA (KN-23) missiles," he wrote.

Russia and the DPRK officially deny supplying ballistic missiles for use by the Kremlin in the war in Ukraine.

In Dniprovskyi District in Kyiv, the alleged remains of a 3M22 Zircon hypersonic cruise missiles were found.

Russia claims the 3M22 Zircon can travel at Mach 9, or about 6,900 mph which makes it hard to shoot down. It is one of the newest cruise missiles, designed for both naval and land targets, the Russian navy took into service in 2023….

Reference #8322

”Ministry of Defense of Russia officially announced that the cause of the explosion in Izhevsk was "technical work at the Votkin Machine-Building Plant" 😂

🚀 There Russia produces the sea-based ICBM, Bulava-30 (SS-NX-30) and Topol-M (SS-27 Sickle B)…

French minister of defence:

@SebLecornu : "Nous sommes passés d'une logique de cession sur les stocks de nos armées à une logique de production pour continuer de soutenir l'armée ukrainienne". Le ministre des Armées affirme que "la reprise de la production par nos industriels est en cours"

La réduction des délais de production de nos industriels est en cours et profite à l'Ukraine :

Radar de @thalesgroup ▶ de 24 à 6 mois
Canon Caesar de @NexterKNDS ▶ de 30 à 15 mois
Missile Mistral de @MBDAFrance ▶ de 24 à 15 mois
Obus de 155mm ▶ de 1000 à 3000 par mois
