Perhaps threats could also come from the frontal arc of the hull, and perhaps there are obstacles on the other side of the building that protect the hull side. Hard to judge from that footage. What bothers me more is the "addon blanket" apparently covering the commander sight/Kord.
So far we have seen BMPT cut down pine trees near Kremenya, but what about in a situation like this?

This looks more like glide bomb action than kalibers. But it is in the far west. Hmmm. Maybe they tried a super high altitude su 34 run with a glide bomb Russian special military operation in Ukraine #41 - Page 19 LpyMeSuw_o

But the Ukrainians have 5 magic air defense zones which means Russia can't use missiles, drones, or bombs in Lvov. It has to be black magic and sorcery.

Prigozhin says that his Wagner has killed some 36 000 UA soldiers in Bakhmut/Artemovsk (and adjacent Soledar) alone, thus far.

He tends to be somewhat reserved about their exploits, often telling people to not rush to conclusions, correcting premature remarks by others, etc. So, what gives?

The FAB UMPC glide bomb, are having compounding effect due to the evaporation of the S300 and the buk missiles

This happened because of the repeated Kalibr strikes

People thought Surovikin was trying to target substations, but in reality what he was doing was forcing the batteries to spend ammo, and either hit them if they lit up within range of Kh31 or just let them spend their ammo

BECAUSE, he knew as well as the staff , that Ukraine CANNOT replenish those missiles - they are only industrially available from Almaz Antey and storages in Russia!

De-electrification was NOT the objective, forcing Ukraine to attrite its air defenses, and then to allow the VKS to bomb Ukraine with safety

A genius move, which has allowed FAB to blow the Ukrainians to pieces and largely create an impotence of Ukraine in the face of these bombs

Seymour Hersh on Zelensky's Corruption

calripson Thu Apr 13, 2023 10:55 pm

Seymour Hersh, who is among the last genuine journalists in the West and a man with deep insider connections, reports that Zelensky along with his top officials are suspected of embezzling hundreds of millions of dollars in Western aid. Interestingly, one point of evidence of Zelensky's governments corruption is its ongoing relationship with Russian counterparties who are the main supplier of Ukrainian diesel fuel for the Ukrainian war effort. Seems like there is plenty of corruption on both sides of the fence and for some the war is simply good business. Berezovsky in the 1990s famously chided General Lebed for negotiating peace in Chechnya stating that Lebed had ruined a great business for himself and fellow oligarchs. Lebed would later die mysteriously in a helicopter crash.

There's this article about how Ukraine JDAMs aren't working. And they are being jammed by Russia or something.

But Ukraine doesn't have JDAMs does it ?

They said they are using it

^ What air force ? Yes. Ukraine rolls out a rickety su 24 or Mig 29 ounce and awhile. But it doesn't have a functional air force doing sorties with jdams.

That is a Ukraine pravda link. It sounds good in the world media to hear that Ukraine is using smart bombs with its air force. To counter the story about Russia using glide bombs. The story is fabricated garbage.

The whole article is ridiculous cringe as well. It says Russian jdams are inaccurate and pose a danger to civilians.

Interesting thought Cool

The date of the counteroffensive in Ukraine directly depends on the results of the presidential elections in Turkey
The counter-offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which is being prepared by the North Atlantic Alliance led by Washington in Ukraine
Not only Western instructors and weapons, but also the special forces of the US Army will participate in the operation.
The beginning of the counteroffensive can be expected at the end of May.

Dug in to the soil and used as mobile pill boxes, their guns can provide a lot of fire. Also, they aren't going to be used in front line areas but in reserves and defense in depth.

The vast majority of enemy vehicles can be defeated by this vehicle, it is basic and simple to operate and quite reliable.

If the options are tank or no tank, even an old tank is better than nothing.

Recipients of main gun ammo wont notice the difference most of the time... coordinating its fire with drones means it should get accurate and effective hits on enemy positions with accurate corrections in real time.

If even 1 iota of American special forces is used, it will be seen rather quickly and a lot will shit their pants.

I'm not even sure many in US army itself would be up for doing this especially they won't have air support.

But an interesting thought non the less.

That option should never be the case with Russia unless something has gone very wrong.

T-55 tanks are free. They were paid for long ago. Free tracks and chassis, a mobile pill box. For anything you need. Ukraine is using civilian cars with the doors cut off. That get stuck in an inch of mud. And morons actually think it is a scandal that Russia found a use for T-55s. As if you need a freaking T-90m to man a line far from the fighting. It is still a tank. If a band of Ukrainian savages finds a weak line far from the fighting and they are in civilian vehicles, the civilian vehicles are going to lose against T-55's.

An entrenched T-55 is a terrifying fortification to try and take out, even with ATGMs.
