Russia-Ukraine War - News and Developments PART 2

Footage of a Russian Iskander-M ballistic missile striking a Ukrainian Buk-M1 air defense system. The video was filmed near the village of Tokari, Sumy region of Ukraine. The Buk-M1 air defense system, together with a pickup truck, was moving to a camouflaged position in a forest belt.

The Buk-M1 air defense system was adopted by the USSR in 1983. As of 2024, Ukraine had about 50 Buk-M1 air defense systems, and there may have been supplies from other countries.

A Russian drone tracked the entire route of the Buk-M1 air defense system. After that, the air defense was hit by an Iskander-M missile with a high-explosive fragmentation warhead. The Iskander missile exploded nearby, presumably damaging the Buk-M1 air defense system.

This "release the Leopards" is political. This is about blaming Germany for the loss of Ukraine in the planned Russian offensive.

Artillery is more versatile than tanks. Tanks are limiting. Give Ukraine thousands of artillery howitzers + 100s of HIMARS + ATACMS, this would kill more Russians and destroy more Russian equipment than giving Ukraine simply more tanks with Ukrainian present military. If Ukraine had the capability to breakthrough the lines, then tanks are useful. Do Russian infantry have shoulder fired weapons on the frontlines to destroy Leopards, I would take a guess and say "yes".

Called it. US was looking for a nation to blame for the loss of Ukrainian territory. It was hoping Germany would release the Leopards, so then the cia shills couldn't blame Germany. In other posts I suggested that Germany should release the Leopards so to silence the idiots demanding it and thus proving releasing the Leopards was pointless and a psy-op.

You know where Russia wants Europe to put 100% of their military budget in - tanks. So Russia enjoyed the cia psy-op too.

Rare footage of Russian drones "Forpost-RU" and "Orion" working together in Ukraine. Technical information about them is in the links to the video in the comments to the video. The video was filmed near the village of Grunovka, Sumy region of Ukraine, on the border with the Kursk region of Russia. In the first part of the video, the drone "Forpost-RU" with the help of a guided bomb KAB-20S destroys a pontoon crossing over the Psel River. Later, a Ukrainian truck "MAN" appears in this area, carrying a tank on a lowboy. The Russian drone "Orion" attacks it with the help of an "X-UAV" missile. Judging by the video, both drones worked accurately on the targets.
