Note the Russian S-300 is a pretty advanced one, it has two different interceptors, one of which is specialized for ballistic missile intercept.

Too bad they didnt show the actual money shot. Maybe it was a "near miss" and the frag had to do all the work and it was a slow anti-climactic simmer then caught fire. Or the drone vid will come out later? I wouldnt be surprised if US mandated ROE now forbids attacks on RU ADA or at least the release of video.

Now this is what I expected to see from a drone hit! Instead we often see a guy take a direct hit and run around like a headless chicken.

Yes it's horrible and I wish none of this was happening. FVP and FJB.

not so sure i agree with that -- we have given Ukraine a lot  -- and absolutely should give them more

but Israel is 8,500 sq miles and near international waters  --  Ukraine is over 230,000 sq miles and not adjacent to an easily accessible ocean  

so IMO it's a lot more complicated than just saying Israel is the 'favored' nation

I am pondering whether the S-300 has some significant flaw in it's "Self Defense Mode" against smaller-diameter missiles, whether the missiles and radar were even "hot" (which would indicate that the Ukes have a reasonably strong Counter-EM capability which prevents a constant scan), the Ukes have detected a vulnerability/flaw in the scan array/pattern that can be exploited through using certain angles/trajectories of attack, or if the Russian operators are just that bad at their jobs.

Or, the guy was a newb who was on his first "meat wave" and the combination of the shock of the nearly-instantaneous wholesale violence/destruction to his buddies and abysmal levels of individual tactical training made him forget everything he was told about avoiding the drone threat.  The fatalism inherent in the Russian character makes for great literature but also leads to "meat waves" and indifference to suffering (both your own and others).  The dude many have seen the drone and, instead of getting under cover or running towards decent concealment, just figured "why bother".  The Ruskies seem to have turned one of Patton's most famous dictums: "Your job is not to die for YOUR country; your job is to make the other poor dumb son-of-a-bitch die for HIS country" completely on it's head!

A single-shot adapter for a grenade launcher for a hunting cartridge with shotgun against FPV and copters was developed by private traders in the Russian Federation. But the effectiveness of 1 cartridge somehow does not inspire confidence.

Changes await Right Sector's 67th Brigade after losing positions in Chasiv Yar.

After losing some positions on the Chasiv Yar front in Donetsk Oblast, where heavy fighting has been ongoing since the beginning of 2024, the 67th Separate Mechanised Brigade of the Right Sector Ukrainian Volunteer Corps is being investigated and the military personnel who served as the brigade’s backbone are being transferred to other units.

One of the factors revealed by the audit was issues within the brigade. The leadership allegedly separated the soldiers from the Right Sector and those who were transferred from other parts during the recent replenishment (they were referred to as "pixels", in reference to the pattern on the Ukrainian military uniform). The attitude toward the "pixels" was even worse; they were the first to be sent into combat, and their lack of experience made them lose territory.

Assuming the reporting is accurate, that unit definitely does need to be reshuffled around a bit.

Yes, it is. the pedo is doing it purposely just like he is asking for a limited response from Israel and also gave permission for Iran to hit Israel.

He is controlling the flow to Ukraine for a reason and Ukrainians are powerless. They can share what information and intelligence they have on the pedo and his coke addicted family but then all of Ukraine suffers.

Or they can shut up and accept whatever hand me down is given.

End of story.

Hadn't heard that one, but it is beyond belief that there wouldn't be units where there were serious leadership failures and downright malfeasance. MoD leadership needs to continue seeking that stuff out and crushing it. Vestiges of post-Soviet corruption still remain to be rooted out. To be fair, there has always been issues incorporating newbies into veteran combat units that have lots of time deep in the suck. It was a problem for the US in Vietnam sometimes and WWII too. It takes professional leadership and proactive effort to create a culture that values and protects everyone in the unit, regardless of how long they've been in and where they came from.

When their is a traumatic amputation like that, the arteries and veins initally snap shut and retract inside. They will relax in a bit, also he probably bled out in his pelvis, "the triangle of death". That much shock to the body and he was definetely uncocnious. Nothing would have saved him.

So these shoot AIM-9X and Hellfires?



Can it use the Hellfires as a type of anti armor indirect fire weapon? If so that would be quite amazing. Short range air defense with the ability to also use the same launcher in an anti armor role.

all the above

also -- reading the entire article linked -- it appears some of the issues were SPECIFIC to this unit :  related to incorporating a volunteer unit of highly motivated / seasoned persons into the 'Regular Army'

i can see that some issues would exist with regards to strategy, leadership, training, formal military education, etc

add in the stream of 'at large' replacement soldiers from all over Ukraine -- and i can see how things could get challenging

i hope they get it sorted out -- sounds like they are addressing it

Can it use the Hellfires as a type of anti armor indirect fire weapon? If so that would be quite amazing. Short range air defense with the ability to also use the same launcher in an anti armor role.


I believe so.

Or they can shut up and accept whatever hand me down is given.
