Numerous videos. Thread of 8 posts.Video of an armored assault by Russia's 5th Motorized Rifle Brigade on Krasnohorivka, and another appearance of a tank with a massive counter-FPV shelter and EW jammer, which continues to driving after a DPICM strike. It looks like the lead tank in the first video has a mine-roller which continued to advance after driving over multiple mines.

Not your everyday garden view, air-to-air missile chasing a cruise missile.

Don't know what that drone was packed with, but Ivan made quite a jump. Ivan should've stayed at home.
VIEWER DISCRETION ADVISED, the orc really goes boom.

yesterdays figures above combined with todays figures below gives Russian losses at 2580 orcs. Thats a full mechanized infantry brigade. In two days. Thats 54 casualties every hour. Nearly every minute an orc is removed from the battle.

Wow.

Russia is really screwed now, that's the polythene warehouse destroyed, now they just need to find the bodge tape and bass broom factory and their war will crumble.

I would agree with this, unless Ukraine intends to send troops in.
They have incidentally regained control of one of the Islands near Kherson.

The Estonia defence league built up of Civilians has reached 30,000 or 2% of the population ready to defend their Country.

Ukraine captured a BMP, I had often wondered about the landmines you see strapped to some vehicles, they are apparently to produce a smoke screen.

You have to wonder how these losses are sustainable.
