Russian air defense seems to be working just fine. The Russian Ministry of Defense says the helicopter suffered a “loss of spatial orientation” after being hit by a Russian missile.
Big bavovna.
The TOS got tossed.
There’s a bridge over the Kerch Strait that would be a good candidate for a payback strike for this.
Assign him to guard duty at an ammo dump.
I predict he will either die in a not-so-glorious meat assault or he will be shot or fragged by his fellow Russians. Either way, an ignominious end.
There is something satisfying about an electronic warfare station being taken out by a drone.
The blockade of aid to Ukraine by the GOP Moscow Caucus is having real effects.
Twenty-two tanks and 47 APVs is a good day’s work.
The next big battle might be shaping up west of Donetsk in the small city of Krasnhorivka.
Meanwhile, in Orsk/Orenburg …
Damn shame.
"Peaceful" Russian drone operators were making ammunition for drones in their workshop unit when suddenly, one of them had a grenade explode. The soldier's arms were torn off. His comrade was also wounded. The video is of a Russian soldier from the temporarily occupied part of the Kherson region.
Unbelievable.
A mysterious naval drone with a huge makeshift warhead was found off the coast of southern Romania.
An unusual maritime drone was discovered floating upside down in Romanian waters on April 3 2024. The new type of uncrewed surface vessel (USV) was actually based on an American built rescue boat, modified as a drone. It was equipped with a large warhead indicating that it was designed to hit ships or other naval targets.
Romanian forces reportedly destroyed the boat in a controlled explosion
on April 5. The events were not publicized initially and few details were revealed when it was later shared in local media. However an analysis of the vessel answers the questions of what it is, yet raises new questions.
….
The warhead is from a P-20 Styx anti-ship missile. This is a Soviet-era weapon and, while still in service in Russia, is generally viewed as obsolete. It has a noticeably powerful warhead though, it’s main merit. Both Russia and Ukraine likely have easy access to this type of warhead.
The warhead is mounted on a crude wooden frame in the forward deck of the boat. It is a ‘4G20′ model which is associated with P-20 export model variants of the Styx missile. It weighs just under 500kg (1,100lb) of TGAG-5 explosives which is 60% TNT, 20% RDX, 15% aluminum powder and 5% phlegmatizing wax. For context, this is over twice the size of the Harpoon anti-ship missiles’ warhead.
A perfect example of why Ukraine needs more air defense.
Everyday life in Kharkiv.
And the cat survived.
Taking the time and effort to take care of storks.
And puppies.
