A robot dog with a grenade launcher on his back appeared at the Army-2022 forum. This is a Chinese technology, the cost is about 1 million rubles(16,161.75 US Dollars). Robopes became the star of the first day of the forum.

Demonstrated at the Army-2022 show M-81 robotic complex, it’s an RPG on legs essentially. Looks funny, but it will grow up one day. 👀💤

Latvia handed over 4 helicopters to Ukraine: two Mi-17 and two Mi-2 — Ministry of Defense of the Republic of Latvia

Ukraine received four pre-painted helicopters partially disassembled. According to the agency, Latvia has already supplied weapons and other military assistance to Ukraine worth more than 200 million euros.

Previously the same type of a transfer was done by Czech Republic and Bulgaria. That's what have happened to them.

Russia has revoked licenses for servicing Mi helicopters from the Czech Republic and Bulgaria.

Moscow considered the transfer of Russian and Soviet military products to Kiev and their repair unacceptable.

In addition, the Russian side has stopped supplying components and spare parts to unfriendly countries.

The robust and inexpensive helicopters which have been bought even by the US government, will become unserviceable and unusable for those countries.

Ex US Army Lieutenant Colonel Daniel Davis:
“There is no chance, no military way, that Ukraine can win this war. We have to be honest about this."

Any radiation incident at the Zaporozhye NPP could be a blow to many countries. Everything depends only on the direction and strength of the wind, - Zelensky

Attention here, Ukrainian propaganda channel distanced itself from Zelensky, here it says:

According to him, the Russian troops continue to shell the station, hide equipment and ammunition there, and also mined the nuclear power plant. It threatens the entire world with disaster.

So, that channel does not expect you to believe to the Ukrainian president. I repeat, it is a Ukrainian propaganda channel. It is impossible to say again and again that "Russians are shelling themselves".

Nowdays it is called a "facepalm" moment... 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♀️

Especially after that: ⬇️

📞 Minister of Defence of the Russian Federation, General of the Army Sergei Shoigu, held telephone conversation with UN Secretary General António Guterres to discuss conditions for the safe operation of Zaporozhye NPP.

▫️They exchanged views on the functioning of the "fact-finding mission" in relation to the incident at the detention center in Elenovka.

▫️They also discussed UN initiatives to facilitate the export of Russian foodstuffs and fertilizers.

And the most important for today:

⚡️Fighters of the Miner's Division of the DPR army, with the support of units of the Russian Armed Forces, broke through the defenses of the Ukrainian armed formations and made serious progress in the Ugledar direction, according to First Deputy Minister of Information of the Republic Daniil Bezsonov.

"The Armed Forces of Ukraine suffered heavy losses in equipment and manpower. There have been no significant advances in this sector of the front in recent months until today."

Apart from fancy "robodogs" with grenade launchers at the Army-2022 exhibition Rostec has revealed a new long range 152mm self propelled howitzer which is about to be mass produced.

The 2S43 Malva mounts a modified and improved version of the powerful 2A88 gun capable of firing 8 rounds per minute.

A second, lighter self propelled gun has also entered service. Based on the general appearance and presence of a machine gun for possible defense this seems to be a frontline artillery piece.

Where the previous one would fire at long range this one should operate closer to the front.

Hopefully we will see them in action soon. (Never thought that I might have written that) 🕉️☯️✝️☦️☪️☮️🕎

Good night.

The detonation of ammunition occurred in the north of Crimea.
Residents of the village of Maiskoye are being evacuated due to the incident.

Translated from Rybar:

Apparently, in the vicinity of Maisky in the Dzhankoy district of Crimea, a warehouse with ammunition really explodes.

In this case, a fire on the territory of the power plant could have occurred as a result of a “undershoot” or falling fragments of a downed rocket projectile.
