Russia-Ukraine War - News and Developments

[Brainsucker]

#Ukraine: The Ukrainian Army used a Skif/Stugna-P ATGM to take out multiple Russian tanks in Demydiv, near #Kyiv. It is claimed that 3 were knocked out.

Observe that the Ukrainian side have diverted systems originally intended for export for domestic use; Arabic can be seen.

Well, I remember that ATGM could destroyed Israel's and United States' Tanks too. But they are repairable. So what happen in Demydiv is destroyed beyond repair or not?

Ukrainian T-80 Oplot Vs Russian T-90 would have been an interesting duel. Perhaps T-64 Bulat Vs T-72 B3.

There have been some surreal scenes shared on social media. It is really interesting to note that the majority of kit we have seen so far has been old or knackered Russian kit, which leads me to suspect that Moscow hasn't played all her cards just yet.

If Iran support Russia, Iran can always attack Germany in support of Russia. Other than that, you have to live with the laws as is.

Can NATO bog down Russia through Ukraine in this war till Russian economy is drained out as the war prolongs ?

US TV claims that this Ukraine invasion was "made in China"

This invasion in many ways was made in China​

Media reports usage of missiles but no armored duels between tanks and other armored vehicles. I didn't see any reports on dog fights or BVR combat.

No, Russians still have problem with long rod penetrators bc of the length they can use in autoloader but Ukrainians have very old 125mm 2A46 derivate (KBA-3) and no modern rounds for them.
They could have go to former Eastern block countries (Slovakia and Poland) who are still producing higher quality barrels and better rounds, but they didn't.

Any report on usage of drones/UCAVs by any side ?

NATO is sending ATGMs and SAMs to Ukraine. Training on such systems for Ukrainian crews is another matter.

Russians using T-72, T-80, BMP-2, BTR-3, Mi-8, Ka-52, TOS-1 and BM-21 MLRS, Pantsir S-1, MTLB.

Any more weapons sighted?

Russians don't use BTR-3, except it's captured. ^^
For tanks I saw only T-72B3M and T-80BVM - what is funny, I thought they only wanna use the T-80 series in the REALLY cold regions.

Same, I've seen one video which seems very dubious of a Russian helicopter being chased and engaged by an alleged Ukrainian Mi-24. There was some short videos of Russian BTRs exchanging fire on the outskirts of kharkiv, but the vast majority of footage has been use of either NLAWs or UCAVs against armor.

1- Russia will take all the land one side of River all the way to sea port
2- If Ukraine does not accepts the fate , Russians will take more

Ukraine will be made militarily impotent , most likely Russia will aim to destroy 95% of Ukraine air force and airports

As part of peace offering Kiev will be returned to Ukraine if Ukraine accepts this new border


Russia and NATO will agree 1 small win for Nato the can blow up one oil depot to claim victory in their press before Ukraine will be split, NATO will show case this one win as collaboration of their vast experience and tactical knowledge and claim Russia fears them and this is what lead Russia to discuss peace

Ghost of Kiev flying Mig-29 who has reportedly shot down 6 Russian fighter aircraft in 30 hours making him Europe's first ace fighter pilot since World War 2 ? Rumor only ?

Why has Russian performance been so poor ? I am watching videos of their equipment and troops being destroyed and humiliated respectively , on reddit.

What do you make of that ? Do you think there is a possibility RU can fail in achieving its objectives given covert and overt support given to Ukrainians by the west ?
