Now this is something you do not see every day, note the bomb underneath and fwd of that the camera system., this must be one of the drones they have been using, converted from a light aircraft. I wonder if the doctoring of the image was to remove the fuselage registration?
More on it and more images, it crashed in Russia 1000Km from the border.. It looks like the camera gimbal is all 3D printed.

Translation:
A Bradley from the 47th Mechanized Brigade engages Russian reconnaissance which entered the village of Novobakhmutivka 3 days ago, before its capture. This Brigade really saved the situation at the start of the Russian breakthrough west of Avdiivka.

Russia is starting deliveries of the S-500, one wonders if it will be any better as it has probably been in development for years and will have had little time to adapt to the realities it may face.

In the Avdiivka direction, the "ix-guides" from the group of troops "Center" burned to the ground with "Lancet" another star-striped tank, which was chased by "Abrams" in the AFU. "We've been tracking Abrams for three days On the first day, we searched for him and found him, we wanted to hit him, but the enemy defended him very seriously. Our drone was jammed by EWS. I had to fly a lot, watch.
Abrams has never been in one place, constantly changed firing positions or went to the rear area for refueling," the special purpose platoon commander with the callsign "Igla" was quoted on April 25 in our defense department According to him, "on the day of combat use, we flew out very early, found a target. We hit the target in the wind and hit, fortunately. Although our work was long and painstaking, it brought results." The footage shows the detonation of the tank's ammunition.
This news will hit the reputation of the "NATO" 47th OMBR "Magura" even more painfully, which during the battle in the Avdeevsky section of the front not only lost several "Abrams" and "Bradley", but also suffered the most severe reputational losses.
This is interesting because the brigade is directly subordinate to the Pentagon and is fully supported by the U.S. Department of Defense according to the wartime standard. Such information can be obtained from the soldiers' forums of the AFU, where the "Magurovites" are called Yankees.
Now the General Staff of the AFU and the Pentagon are trying to understand how the best proxy-NATO passed Ocheretino. According to the insider layouts of the public "Viyskova Kraina", the loss of a strategically important settlement occurred during the period when, in the idea, "Magura" was supposed to be in it. According to the Ukrainian Yankees, the Russians did what they had never done before: they attacked at the moment when the 47th OMBR was coming out and the 115th entered According to the rotation protocol, the "natovtsy" had to wait for the brothers to the positions and hand them over for signature.
That is, at the time of the breakthrough of our fighters, two brigades were supposed to be in Ocheretino at once, but in the end, as the Ukro-Pravdorubs are stitching, there were very few defenders, and then not from among the experienced "heroes", but forcibly graved "mobics" "Of course, the already exhausted 47th was hastily returned back, and is forced to pay with blood for another failure at the level of security and command," the experts of "Viyskova Kraina" say According to an unnamed officer of the General Staff of the AFU (who reported the Ukrainian "teley" on condition of anonymity), no one should have known about the rotation.
Even the brigades were informed about it in a couple of hours Thus, the change of pidrozdiliv had to remain a secret for the Russians. However, one of the "their" told them about this and, despite a very short time, the Russian Armed Forces managed to conduct their attack at the junction of sectors, one of which previously occupied the 47th, and the second is still controlled by the 129th Brigade and the Rock battalion This anonymous swored a lot on the Internet, as this is not the first case of such a universal scale. He believes that the fall of Bakhmut began with the unexpected capture of Soledar by the Russians during the same failure of rotation.
Then the Wagner PMC fighters, knowing the time of the "shift", were able to overturn the light patrols of the AFU and met the defenders on the way to the position The Ukro-officer called the incident a "massar" of Ukrainian soldiers who rushed around the city in an attempt to find at least some shelter. Something similar happened in Ocheretino. The 47th Mechanical Brigade issued an official statement according to which "Magura" was not directly involved in the chaos in the village, which allowed Russian soldiers to break into the settlement.
"Heroes" on "Bradley" tried to go back at high speed, but the Russian group of troops "Center" rushed forward with the VKS: Su-30 and Su-35, dominating the air, launched direct air strikes on the advancing column. In addition, Ukrainian drones fired friendly fire on the returned pidrozdils with their heavy drones from MANPADS, having received inaccurate panic information about the capture of the village center by assault detachments of the Russian Armed Forces. After the leadership of the Magura Brigade became aware of the friendly fire, the independent soldiers suffered heavy losses and were forced to retreat. Our soldiers immediately took their place.
Despite the official statements of the talkers of the AFU about stabilization in Ocheretino, the Ukrainian army left the entire village, leaving only one position in the very north-east. However, according to the latest data, the Banderites have already escaped from there. When the drape in Novobakhmutovka began, the Su-25 and Ka-52 of the VKS pursued the "Magurovites" at low altitude, increasing damage and wreaking havoc, thereby clearing the way for our units.
Because of the panic and mess in the management, this settlement was surrendered in the conditions of the "massare" of Ukrainian soldiers by Russian attack aircraft "On the morning of April 24, despite several counterattacks by the reinforcements of the AFU, the Russians captured Novobakhmutovka. Moreover, around 21:00 last evening they fixed all of Ocheretino and on the last night they began an offensive to the west of it, as well as from Novobakhmutovka to Solovyovo. At the same time, they also storm Berdychi from the north and east, and Novokalinovo from the south and east Such sadness was reported by Roman Pogorelov from DeepState (blocked in our country). According to the few survivors of the Magurovs who survived the "chereretinsky meat grinder", "they went to hell."

According to military analyst Colby Badwar , from The Insider publication, there are currently 1,281 ATACMS missiles in the US stockpile, which are "expired" (Photo 1) - if we talk more specifically about the options:
1)M39 Block I (165 km, cluster warhead - 950 BE) - 157 units;
2) M39 Block IA (300 km, cluster warhead - 250 BE) - 532 units;
3) M39 Block 2/2A (140km/220km, cluster warhead - smart 13/6 BE) - 75 units;
4) M48/M57+M57E1 (300/300/310km, fragmentation warhead) - 517;
Also, some publics in Telegram spread information that it seems that ATACMS production has been restored, but this is not quite the case (photo 2).
During the 20/21 fiscal year, the US Ministry of Defense signed a contract for the supply of about 500 new missiles of the M57 variant, or converted M57E1 from decommissioned M39s, during the 23-24 year.
Ps That is, an arsenal of 1,281 ATACMS missiles has been opened for Ukraine.
The Pentagon, in turn, can transfer them according to the scheme of replenishing its own reserves (that is, it can give X-quantity of M39 Block I, and buy newer options, such as PrSm - at 500 km)
1)M39 Block I (165 km, cluster warhead - 950 BE) - 157 units;
2) M39 Block IA (300 km, cluster warhead - 250 BE) - 532 units;
3) M39 Block 2/2A (140km/220km, cluster warhead - smart 13/6 BE) - 75 units;

A more or less complete shot down Russian Kh-55SM, I bet the US will be interested to see it.
