Russia-Ukraine War - News and Developments PART 2

The Ukrainian crew of one of the artillery pieces published footage of an attempt to destroy the Russian Lancet kamikaze drone. Judging by the sound and commentary at the end of the video, the drone has reached its target.


An episode of the battle of the Russian 155th Marine Brigade in Ukraine. Russian soldiers are pushing Ukrainian units out of the village, clearing every house and basement.


In Romania, footage was filmed of sending 37 American M1117 armored vehicles to Ukraine, a total of 250 units are expected to be delivered. The M1117 armored car was adopted by the US Army in 1999, it is an all-wheel drive vehicle weighing 14.4 tons. In the military hierarchy of the US Army, the M1117 vehicle is lower than the M2 Bradley armored infantry vehicle and higher than the Hummer armored vehicle. The ceramic composite armor of the M1117 vehicle provides protection for the crew from 12.7 mm armor-piercing bullets and fragments of 155 mm shells - when they explode at a distance of more than 15 m. The bottom can withstand the detonation of explosive devices with a TNT equivalent of up to 5.4 kg. The machine was used in combat operations and received good reviews. The armament of the M1117 consists of a 40 mm Mark 19 grenade launcher, a 12.7 mm M2 Browning machine gun. The crew of the armored vehicle is three people, eight more military personnel can be placed in the troop compartment. The engine power of the M1117 armored vehicle is 260 hp. The maximum speed is 100 km/h. Power reserve - 765 km.


Footage of the combat use of the Russian Su-57 in Ukraine. In the first part of the video, the aircraft flew over Lugansk, in the second part, the Su-57 aircraft hit the positions of the Ukrainian army, the strike was filmed by a Ukrainian serviceman.


One of the Ukrainian servicemen decided to show shell casings from various military equipment that are used in Ukraine. It tells about the marking of shells and describes what they are made of.

 

Look at the Phalanx, same cannon it has 5500 meters range.
20mm APDS shells on the M163 could easily destroy a target very far away. Non-maneuvering drones flying at 150kmph are easy to hit because it's easy to lead your shots, whereas a jet flying at Mach one could turn a little bit and be hundreds of meters away from the fire prediction point.

M163 with HEIT-SD self destruct after 1800 meters or when in proximity to the target so they're closer range, but still could engage a slow drone up to 1800 meters with no problems.
maximum firing range is 5500m , effective firing range is 1500m
 
1500m Effective against jets, cannon leading on a target flying 150kmp/h could be easily calculated and shot down from far away.
that was built to defend against cruise missile , it was not built to be a defense against jets.
again do you have any article on the speed of targets is important in its range ?

Its first operational shot down was a Syrian MiG-21 by Israel.

It's just physics, Let's say it takes 3 seconds to reach a target 5000 meters away with 20mm APDS shells, in 3 seconds a jet flying at 300 meters per second could turn 60 degrees and be around 600 meters away from the predicted interception point.
Basically - it's extremely easy to evade from that distance. However, if that jet is flying in a straight line, it's easy to predict where it would be within 3 seconds. That's why shooting down cruise missiles is far easier than shooting down jets, they fly in a straight line whereas pilots could react to ground fire and fly unpredictably.

Same about suicide, except they're even slower, no need to lead your shots that much. And if they do maneuver, a drone flying at 45m/s and turn 60 degrees in 3 seconds would only be around 90 meters away from the predicted interception point. Now make it 3000 meter and it'll only be 30 meters away from interception point. make it 2000 meters and it'll be barely a few meters.
 

Looks like Professor Michael Clarke have the same view.

If Russia is smart, they should have picked up the clue from Ukraine by now, they are doing what they are doing in Kupiansk, Kherson, Kharkiv (a lot of places started with K) to Melitopol right now, the Ukrainian had moved another 2 Brigade in the Area, they are setting a condition for another counteroffensive.

He is just 3 days too late lol
 
i'm giving you logical points that are getting way above you, hence you get emotional with me - no worries- i'll keep teaching, hopefully you keep learning.
Listen 'bro' yourslef,

May be you can explain how HIMARS levelled the places your beloved Wagner boys were in because of a stupid tactical mistake of a soldier taking a selfie. This war will be studied for decades as to how a competent , smart, brave set of people were let down by their tactics, leadership, and quality of weapons fighting WWII style doctrine in the age of information warfare.

Russia is getting attacked deeper and deeper and will have to re-position its strategic bomber forces. All so they could go 40 miles into a foreign country.

Here you go and enjoy it. Another set of Russians wiped out by precision munitions. No wait, Russians had destroyed all this HIMARS and disrupted the supply lines and put NATO on backfoot. And NATO Airforces are fully in tact while Russia is afraid to overfly Ukraine


Bombing of Putin’s Most Feared Fighters Infuriates Russia​

The Russian mercenaries hailed by their leader as the most skilled and experienced soldiers in the war against Ukraine have gotten themselves blown up over the weekend.
Pro-Kremlin Russian media channels were the first to reveal the strike Sunday on a hotel in the occupied Luhansk region, furiously noting that “the enemy used HIMARS to hit the hotel in Kadiivka where Wagner fighters were located.”

Photos showed the building, a hotel called “Zhdanov’s Guest House,” blown to smithereens, though no details were immediately given on how many Wagner fighters were killed. Russian state-run media was largely mum on the whole affair (with the exception of a Kremlin-friendly tabloid saying the site had been targeted because the U.S. knew Wagner founder Yevgeny Prigozhin frequented the private army’s headquarters there.)
Ukrainian authorities say the Russian military is “carefully concealing” its losses in the strike. Serhiy Haidai, the Ukrainian governor of Luhansk, confirmed the strike and quipped on Telegram that “many” Wagner mercenaries would undoubtedly be absent for their next roll call.

On Tuesday, Haidai issued a statement saying “hundreds” of Wagnerites have been killed before reaching the frontline in the last week and a half, either by “‘explosions’ caused by smoking in their headquarters or their barracks.”
Meanwhile, Bild reported Tuesday that a selfie taken in front of the hotel in Kadiivka may have alerted Ukraine’s military to the Wagner fighters’ whereabouts and sealed their fate. Russian media channels circulated the photo, speculating that the Russian soldier shown grinning in front of “Zhdanov’s Guest House” was none other than Pavel Prigozhin, the son of the Wagner founder, who previously said his son was serving in the ranks of the private army.
It was not immediately clear when the selfie was taken, and Prigozhin himself denied that his son had been impacted by the HIMARS strike. The Daily Beast has not independently verified the authenticity of the photo and its potential links to the bombing.
“Don’t worry, my son is fine,” the Putin-friendly businessman said in a statement Sunday.

if they wouldnt and couldnt fight against Hamas or hezbollah, how will they fight Russian army- good luck brooo!
I wish Hamas had prevailed but each time they take out a building in Israel , an entire city block in Gaza is bombarded and Hamas goes back to its hole for another 2 years till they are ready to sacrifice another 500 innocent Palestenians civilians.

I don't care for Hamas, but I care for the Ghazans that have been pretty much shut down by Israel and Arabs alike. History and facts don't bear your version of reality.

But then it was your type of mentality that give an impression of military might that existed with Saddam , Qaddafi that got them kicked/murdered in their own countries. Putin unfortunately inherited the same mindset.
 
1.2km is the range of that canon if used from ground against aerial targets
and there are ton's of video of them failing against these drones and there is a reason for that , the radar on Gepard is old and the drone have somehow less RCS than other drones , if they install more powerful radar on Gepard then maybe they have more success .
Pls show 3 of these tons of videos so we can be on the same page as you
