In manly VKS, pilots celebrate the choice between being shot down by Mykola from Vinnytsia with his Igla, or their own S-400 battery. The West has no chance.

Still wondering why the Ukrainians haven't adapted the thermobaric RPV-16 warhead (Essentially the same as that of the RPO-A, with the impact of essentially 5+kg of HE, similar to that of a 155mm projectile) to FPV drones.

They're still making them and they'd be very efficent.

Fascinating actual OSINT here that even 30 years ago would have been impossible for those without a clearance.

Tldr? MT-LBs ain't quite as unending as you might think.

Don't underestimate blokes in sheds.

One of the biggest drone killers recently has been an AAM paired with a truck and a sensor mast originally intended to spot IEDs in Afghanistan. Expect more 😉

PM, Grach, and AKMS with ammo stolen; enough hardware for another hit and run.

.366 TKM ammo found at the scene so civilian firearms used by the attackers, probably not well supplied and no access to legacy stockpiles. Very likely an IS cell.
