A Myasishchev M-55 spy plane with universal reconnaissance container UKR-RT (УКР-РТ) equipped with radio-technical reconnaissance devices.
The photo is recent.
The M-55 is an interesting aircraft, developed from the M-17, you can think of it as the Soviet analogue of the famous American U-2.
The reconnaissance pod has been seen before on the Su-34 (although in general it is a fairly new "toy") as seen in the lower photo, but it has never been seen on the M-55, well in general the M-55 is not seen much (only 5 aircraft exist that we know of).
Probably thanks to its "spy" capabilities (speed+altitude) it is being used for reconnaissance in Ukraine or less thrillingly as a test platform.

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 ...

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Our fighters defeated a group of militants and took the survivors prisoner
A militant with the call sign “Mekhan” said that their group, consisting of 10 people, belongs to the 9th company of the 54th mechanized brigade. Some of them laid down their arms and surrendered, others were less fortunate.

A Product-305 or LMUR used against a moving pickup.
It's an interesting video as we normally see the 305 being used against buildings as it carries a large amount of explosive. Whereas other types of missiles such as the 9A4172 Vikhr are used against vehicles as they have a higher armour piercing capability.
