Russian Ukrainian War (10 Viewers)

[Soldier35]

Ukrainian servicemen showed an episode of counteraction to the Russian FPV drone in the Donetsk direction. The servicemen noticed the drone and started firing at it with small arms, but they were unable to destroy the drone. Since there could have been several drones, the soldiers retreated and used the forest belt as cover. As a result of a short battle, the drone destroyed the pickup truck. The video has been shortened.

I wasn't talking about a nation, but about an ideology. You're like your TAСO, who egged on Merz on D-Day. Europe doesn't trust either Putler or TAСO, that's why it's arming itself. The German army wants a thousand new tanks. Since WW2, the military potential of this country has been specifically limited. Two idiots will plunge the world into a big war again.

A pity, I thought some info would be revealed in Ukranian local media.

We have a similar issue of Western missile vendors not letting us integrate their wares on our Su30s.

However if Ukraine has found a solution, even if it's some hack like special pylons and tablets, we should too try such things.

The Su-24M has pylons from decommissioned Tornado.

@Akim

How do your fellows get such combinations working?
This is an Su-24 launching scalp missiles.

This below article says tablets are used like iPads

Ukrainian Fighter Jets “Using iPads” To Control Western Weapons

The Pentagon's top weapons buyer talked about Ukraine’s success in using tablets to integrate Western weapons on its Soviet jets.

From which i assume these are Ukranian only works? the weapon oem countries provide no support for integration?

I don't get it. The only reason they built the bridge is because they didn't have a land bridge to Crimea. Now they do. So what purpose does the bridge serve now? If they so desperately needed such a bridge during Soviet times, why didn't they build one between 1950 and 1990? This headline says it all, it's about symbolism, propaganda, and a pathetic perception about the bridge, not a strategy for retaking Crimea.

"Ukraine is testing approaches to destroy the Kerch Bridge, built by Putin as a "SYMBOL" of Russia’s claim to Crimea."

Waiting for the Bridge to Blow – Again

Ukraine is testing approaches to destroy the Kerch Bridge, built by Putin as a symbol of Russia’s claim to Crimea. Having damaged it three times already, Kyiv is preparing for the coup de grâce.

Also it's interesting that western search engines block the news about Russia completing the Tavida 2 railway connecting Rostov with Crimea. This now makes the Crimean bridge even less significant. Imagine if people new the real truth? That would put a damper on their hopes that one destroyed bridge is their key to victory.

Russia finalizes train line to connect to the occupied Ukrainian territories in the Sea of Azov and Crimea

The Ukrainian army believes that this railway network will enter into service this year and will play a key role in the invader’s military logistics

Short-range AA missiles (R-73M, AIM-9D-X, MICA IR) are used for self-defense of jets. But they are more effective as AD systems.

Footage of the destruction of a Ukrainian 155-mm howitzer M777 and a military tractor, on the right bank of the Dnieper, in the Kherson direction. The attack was carried out by several drones at once, first the howitzer was hit by ammunition drops from drones, then an attack was carried out by FPV drones. M777 howitzers have been produced in the United States since 2005 by BAE Systems. Howitzers are capable of hitting targets at a range of up to 40 km using M982 Excalibur shells. Ukraine received 130 M777A2 howitzers for 2024, about 100 howitzers have already been destroyed.
