Russia-Ukraine War - News and Developments PART 2

[Ansha]

Prime Minister Keir Starmer of United Kingdom reaffirmed the country's commitment to helping Ukraine and making sure it in best possible position. This coincides with worries about how President Trump will handle US assistance going forward. Recently signed historic 100-Year Partnership deal between the UK and Ukraine which covers military, energy, scientific cultural and economic cooperation demonstrates the UK's commitment.

Starmer underlined the need of bringing front line under control and giving Ukraine tools and training it needs. In order to achieve this UK already pledged £3 billion ($3.6 billion) for lethal aid and in 2025, it will offer Ukraine greater military help than ever before. Starmer also announced an additional £40 million ($49 million) to aid Ukraine’s economic recovery post-conflict. The 100-year agreement aims to enhance military cooperation and fortify security in the Baltic Sea, Black Sea, and Azov Sea, as well as deter ongoing Russian hostility.

UK's commitment to Ukraine is seen as particularly important given concerns about a potential shift in US policy under President Trump. Leader of the Liberal Democrats Sir Ed Davey expressed his fears that Ukraine could be forced to surrender territory to Russia and that Trump's stance could lead to a negative outcome. Starmer promised that the UK will play its full part in peacekeeping efforts in Ukraine possibly including the deployment of British troops to monitor a ceasefire on ground.

Footage of attacks by Russian FPV drones "Prince Vandal Novgorodsky", controlled via fiber optic cable, on a Ukrainian Leopard 2A6 tank stuck in a trench. In reality, the Ukrainian tank hit in the video is a Leopard 2A4 tank. The Leopard 2A6 tank began to be produced in Germany in 1997, based on the Leopard 2A5 tank. The Ukrainian version of the tank is reinforced with dynamic protection. The video was filmed near the village of Pobeda, in the Kurakhovsky direction. The Vandal drones attacked not only the tank, but also the crew, who abandoned the tank. One crew member tried to take cover under the tank, the second ran to the dugout, the episode was partially cut from the video.

An episode of the battle of the Russian 6th Separate Guards Motor Rifle Lisichansk Cossack Brigade. The video shows the use of, presumably, a T-72 tank with Tsar-Mangal protection during the assault on a Ukrainian army stronghold near the village of Verkhnekamenskoye, in the Seversky direction of the Donbass. Judging by the video, this time the Russian Tsar-Mangal protection was also effective. The Russian tank is attacked by Ukrainian drones, but they are unable to cause critical damage to it. The video also shows that Russian soldiers are using motorcycles to quickly move the infantry. After delivering the infantry, the tank goes to its original positions, and the infantry begins to storm the building. The video is shortened.

The first footage of attacks by Russian FPV drones "Prince Vandal Novgorodsky", controlled via fiber optic cable, on the Ukrainian two-link transporter-tractor "Bv 206". The video was filmed in the Kharkiv region of Ukraine. Previously, the all-terrain vehicle was used by the 141st infantry brigade of the Ukrainian army.
The tracked articulated all-terrain vehicle Bandvagn 206 was developed in Sweden in 1974, and is still actively used today. Due to the low ground pressure, not all anti-tank mines explode under it. The carrying capacity of the all-terrain vehicle "Bv 206" is about 2240 kg, it can carry up to 17 soldiers.
Judging by the video, the Ukrainian all-terrain vehicle Bv 206 was attacked by several Russian FPV drones, as a result of which the all-terrain vehicle was destroyed.

The Russian Tigers unit, which uses FPV drones controlled via fiber optic cable, has released footage of an attack on a Ukrainian military convoy in the Kursk region of Russia. The convoy includes a German-made Leopard 2A6 tank, a Russian-made Kamaz truck, and presumably an American-made Humvee armored vehicle. No drones were used for surveillance, so the extent of damage to the military equipment is unclear. The exact location of the footage has not been reported.

The use of FPV drones controlled via fiber optic cable was demonstrated by the 155th Separate Guards Brigade of the Russian Marine Corps. The servicemen showed episodes of using drones on their section of the front in the Kursk region of Russia. Judging by the video, the unit mainly attacked Ukrainian M2A2 Bradley ODS-SA IFVs with drones. The video also shows a French-made VAB armored personnel carrier, a Humvee armored vehicle, and an American-made M777 howitzer. The M2A2 Bradley IFVs are equipped with the Ukrainian version of the Mangal mesh protection. Surveillance drones were not used in the attacks. The official report states that five Ukrainian M2A2 Bradley ODS-SA IFVs were destroyed.

The 27th Rocket Artillery Brigade of the Ukrainian Army is reportedly stationed in the forest. The brigade is armed with 300-mm Olkha MLRS and support equipment. The Olkha MLRS were developed on the basis of the Soviet Smerch MLRS and were accepted into service in 2018. The Olkha MLRS can launch 12 missiles in 48 seconds at a range of up to 130 kilometers. For an unknown reason, one Russian Iskander-M air-burst missile was used for the attack. Due to the shooting range, the extent of the damage is unclear, but the military equipment was densely packed. Official reports indicate that eight passenger vehicles, six armored vehicles, two trucks, a multiple rocket launcher, and a transport and loading vehicle were damaged.

Cry harder


lol way to move those goal posts waaaay back. So what was the goal of the 3 day special military operation then?


Bring it
All talk for 3 years, nuke this nuke that.


Been waiting 3 years

As predicted, Trump threw Ukraine under the bus.

You had scoffed at it, but turns out Russia does occupy nearly 20% of Ukrainian territory. Trump acknowledged it, saying Russia has the cards. He loves the strong and hates the weak.

Stopped reading after “Russia hasn’t mobilized just paying contract soldiers”.
seriously? It’s day 1001 of the 3 day special Military operation.
Russia is a joke and Putin proves it on a weakly basis with his nuclear saber rattling. His convention military is completely toast.


Yea trump will and not on putins terms.
Where are the nukes, Putin said he’d let them fly if ATACAMS were used. Well they were and crickets as expected.
Russia is a used up vassal state


Cool nobody cares about Italy


And you think that will save the Russia peasants?
Please educate yourself

Russia Republicans have taken over the House and plan to take the whole of Washington in 2024/5. This should be a MAJOR wake up call to Europe to re-arm, have European arms industry to run 24/7 on full capacity.

Said Europe is alone in the fight with Russia Republicans poised to take Washington, got 7 gales of stupid laughter. Europe MUST re-arm. Europe will not be protected with US nukes with Russia Republican Trump in 2025. Europe must have nukes in numbers comparable to Russia. This is MAD, Putin wants to nuclear blackmail Europe. With Russia Republican /Trump in the White House and in Washington, Putin is going to believe nuclear blackmail could work against Europe. Russia Republicans are on the side of Russia winning and defeating Europe. Tucker and Trump want to see the EU in ruins and Russian flags waving in Europe. Europe needs nukes. Europe needs more heavy weapons than Russia. Europe can do so before Russia Republicans/Trump take the white house.

Europe cannot be dependent on Washington for defense.

My above post aged well.
