UKR has new missile with 280 km range.
 

Russian MoD has confirmed that the attack on Simferopol air-base was carried out with the new Ukrainian Grom-2 missile: this has 280 km range with a 500 kg war-head. It is not in the linked report, but another site is saying that the production is taking place in Poland. That's sure to make the Russkis happy. I hope they have good physical security around the plant.

It's as if they think this is like a game of RISK. If so you would think they might notice that they keep throwing 1's

Now that’s impressive, Turkey just seem to be a head of the game in development these days of UAV’s

Ukraine is using a UAV with a magnetometer under it to map metal (as in mines) to produce maps for locating them and keeping locals safe.

Mine clearing

So sad and so avoidable.

Further to Nutty's earlier post, it looks like the Ukrainians are also digging out old kit.

Rough flight time is 7 seconds, time up = time down, neglecting air resistance, so height was about 200 feet and 75 mph impact speed!. Possibly a new record!

Ukrainian 'kamikaze' drones
 

Some of this has been posted before but I don’t think a description of the Ukrainian ‘kamikaze’ quad-copter drones has been.

The Ukrainians are using FPV (first person view) via VR heasdsets, with high-speed (140kph) racing drones adapted to carry munitions up to 1kg (e.g. RPG) costing under $1,000

Yes it is the same spot. Here is the first video. Squad of 8 Ukrainians is holding back the same trench. Without close artillery support they would be probably overwhelmed by this 30+ men Russian assault.


Here is part 2. It was stated that trench was later lost to the Russians at night.


The third video with lone tank destroying Russian squad in the very same trench I posted on the previous page.

Unfortunately, no English translation at this time. Graphic in parts.

"71st separate hunting brigade Assault on a Russian entrenched position"

​​​​​​​This morning residents of Melitopol reported strikes. The locomotive depot was reportedly targeted for the third time in a week.

​​​​​​​Wanted terrorists Igor Girkin, Pavel Gubarev and Maksim Kalashnikov declared that Russia is on the verge of military defeat. To prevent this, they united in the "Club of angry patriots".

Watch out for windows!

Pro-Wagner mil-blogger was killed with 200g of TNT hidden in a figurine in the middle of St. Petersburg.
The way I see it, someone sent Prigozhin a message.

Here's the explosion from an outside CCTV.

Let's hope he's the first of many. I can think of one or two TV stations to add to the list too!

Oh dear, how sad, never mind.

And on Russian territory! How shocking! I wonder who could do such a terribke thing?

PS. Regrets for the collateral human damage. Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

to my understanding the collaterals were participants in the pro-wagner meeting as well, in which case couldn't care less for their wellbeing...
