Ka-52 working #vehicle_losses

This vehicle is a British Ferret Mk.1 light reconnaissance armoured vehicle of the 1950s.

A year ago, this armoured vehicle already appeared in the armed forces of the Ukrainian armed forces, apparently having been bought out of a museum or private collection.

In this footage, FPV copters of the Russian Armed Forces strike the most advanced version of the T-64BV from the Morozov Design Office with the index T-64BM "Bulat".

It may be noted that for a confident defeat of the vehicle it was necessary to use three FPV copters of different sectors of the front and side armour projections.

Taking into account the fact that RKG-3EM (РКГ-3ЕМ) shaped grenades with armour penetration of about 300 mm at an angle of 0 degrees were probably used, the greatest effect was the impact on the left hull projection.
It should be recalled that the T-64BMs are equipped with sets of the world's most effective antitank protection reactive system, Knozh and Duplet, which is also capable of reducing the armour penetration of kinetic (armour-piercing plinking sub-calibre) grenades.

Well, it's already better than Star Wars Episode 7.

New images from Gaza.
Fog and rain seem to make it difficult to see the fighting.

Well, interestingly, mercenaries acting as barrier troops are killed by Ukrainians who had had enough.
Now the wives of the Americans will be able to enjoy BBC action with no hassle and even a widow's pension.

"Fences made to the specifications of a Middle Eastern customer. Anyone knows how these are supposed to work?"

Two AFU tank crews refused to go into battle.
The commissar who arrived to the AFU men standing in the middle of the road tries to convince them that they should "die for Ukraine".

A Kornet ATGM hit an AFU facility near Andreevka from 9,000 metres

A highly mobile Kornet ATGM unit (presumably of the 106th Tula Airborne Division) based on a Tulchanka ATV or buggy demonstrated a record range of about 9,000 metres when it hit an AFU armoured object on the march near Andreevka.

To engage such a distant target, the crew set up a firing position on a dominant hill east of the railway line and used one of the most long-range modifications of 9M133M-2 / 9M133FM-3 (9М133М-2 / 9М133ФМ-3) missiles, whose ranges vary from 8 to 10 kilometres.

Such episodes do not appear very often in MoD reviews and demonstrate a significant modernisation gap of KBP's advanced Tula ATGM compared to numerous foreign analogues.

For example, the vehicle-launched version of the Javelin only has a range of just under 5000 metres.

Here we must also recognise that Russia uses a completely different concept, as the ATGM is mounted on a tripod.
In general, the Soviet concept has proven to be superior to the late NATO concept (NATO at first had the more similar TOW), the Ukrainian Stugna follows this concept as well. The missile can be supported, the crew can wait for the target (the Javelin operator has to expose himself), the range is longer ...
