They unloaded an MLRS onto helis of Russian airborne which reinforced the force in the town.

Now they are stuck there, and cannot continue offensive, because Russia is running out of helis, and force reserve in Crimea.

The way they radiated that much in the south, pouring its force out of Crimea may bite them back in case Ukrainians will block their retreat.

I am not sure how objective it is.

For general knowledge:

Manipulation. A group of telegram channels administered by Russian intelligence services claim that Zelensky is using civilians as a weapon against the Russian military.

Manipulators involve the fact that Ukrainians are not evacuated from cities that are regularly under attack. Detector Media recorded such rhetoric on the fourth day of the war, but it is very dangerous to evacuate civilians in large numbers, both then and now, without green corridors.

The propagandists explain that Zelensky is deliberately making sacrifices among the civilians in order to maintain the image for the media and foreign partners. As if, that's how Ukraine is asking for weapons.

I would appreciate some pointers of inaccuracy of this source.

It's in this post somewhere, something about bioweapons and blowing up a nuclear plant, neither of which are obviously true.

I'll look for it as soon as I get the time.

"After collapse of the Soviet Union a small number of BMP-3 IFVs (4-6 units) ended up in Ukraine. Some of these armored vehicles have been transferred to USA for examination. The BMP-3 has been exported to Azerbaijan (100), Cyprus (43), Indonesia (54), Kuwait (around 200), South Korea (70), United Arab Emirates (around 650) and Venezuela (130). Morocco ordered 60 of these combat vehicles. The BMP-3 is still being produced."

The BMP-3 Infantry Fighting Vehicle is a new design. This IFV has a considerable anti-armor capability.

My take from week 2 of warfare on armour, and equipment: light SPGs are still no less deadly for armour as they were in WW2.

People saying that light artillery was dead in 21st century got their dish served.

122mm provides complete carnage on both sides. Any stationary piece of armour is gone within minutes after spotters gets their eyes on it, and today we have DJI drones acting as them.

122mm roof hit is still fully capable of killing any MBT today. Ammo is plentiful, rate of fire is double that of 155mm, no fancy electronics needed.

A quadcopter paired with 2S1 SPG is so far the most deadly weapon of this war.
