Um, folks... re the Solovyov business, I can find nothing with a google. Nothing.
One would think it would be all over the Russian media for a start?
And lord knows why the X post author did it, he is supposedly a pro-Kremlin journalist blogger...
???
All I can find that even remotely matches the Ugolny narrative is this;

23 November (2023) – Boris Maksudov, war correspondent for Rossiya 24 TV channel, died of shrapnel wounds after a drone strike in southeastern Ukraine

Yeah, I did the same search with the same results. If he doesn't show up on Russian TV in the near future we'll have an idea. Fingers crossed.

Bad propaganda to let it be known that one of your head propogandists got killed while gathering fodder for future propaganda...

Upgraded Patriot radar sets and missile systems (both software and hardware) have been supplied.

The Army is planning upgrades to the Patriot system's radar components, including a new digital processor that replaces the one used since the system's introduction. In 2017, the Patriot got a new AN/MPQ-65A active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar that has greater range and sharper discrimination.
The missile upgrades are known as PAC- Patriot Advanced Capability.

Ukrainian soldiers say the CV90 is the best anti-tank vehicle used by the Ukrainian armed forces.

CV90 Commander:
"Thanks to the Barracuda coat, which we now only have on #Swedish equipment, the vehicle is 70 percent less visible. On the thermal camera, it's just gray, like a padded cold car, plus it stays warm inside thanks to the coat.

The only downside is that there aren't that many bookmakers. 3 cartridges with 8 rounds each, and reloading is fast +- 1-2 minutes, but if there were more ammo it would be much better."

Deputy Commander of the 21st Brigade:
"The armor is the most important thing, our vehicle withstood direct hits from Lancets, various FPVs and a 120 mm shell hit the back - the vehicle withstood everything. In the summer, two gays drove two T-90s at our vehicle and did not spare the gunpowder to destroy our vehicle , but it didn't work."

Company Commander of the 21st Brigade:
"Ammunition does not detonate at all. There was a case when an FPV hit the turret and the cumulative beam entered the ammunition, but the powder simply burned out without detonation".

The commander of an infantry fighting vehicle:
"The vehicle is a 'tractor'. Comfortable, manoeuvrable, energetic, the vehicle is just a lively one. There is air conditioning, you can listen to the radio."

Haha, have seen vids from both sides where the word Pidor is frequently used...
That translation is thus quite possibly verbatim. Literally - gay, contextually - a***hole, etc
You`re welcome...

Zelensky welcomes dignitaries to Hostomel. You can see the remains of some of the aircraft destroyed during the fighting.
