Russian special military operation in Ukraine #49

What is hilarious, these have been provided ... by volunteers

Soon those drones will be used in one day.
October will set a new record. And these numbers are coming from OSINT, not official statements from the MoD.

Hey men, you can always heroically break through all the lines on Facebook!

Or wait for the next version of "Call of Duty".

termite filled incendiary round for drones.

Next step: Mini-Nukes!

Enough to destroy all tanks of most armies.

Enough to kill all soldiers of smaller european armies.

also carried out a number of counter-offensive actions

This should be counter-counter-offensives.

is that where there is like 80K + cannon fodder units?

The 80.000 are on the wrong side of the Oskil river, Kupyansk area.

the excessive hovering in daylight makes me uneasy. Isn't lemur fire and forget?

i wonder if the observer drone acts as the mothership and comm relay or if the two drones fly independently. Seems to me it would be much cheaper to make a larger drone that is reusable to carry one std lancelet.

The target will be over 10km away... LMUR has a range of just under 15km.

Larger drones are easier to spot and the added weight of carrying attack drones shortens their range and endurance.

Sure but that still makes it possible to set ambushes for the attack helos with small groups of men.

as for the drone, you are already sending a recon drone, make it a bit bigger and killer drone can be pretty small and have a range of about 3 km. In fact the observer drone can accelerate it so it can be almost a glider.

Jokes aside the thing looks like an incendiary grenade with fuze replaced by contact one. Probably some stabilizers added on the other side.

You can see plenty of video on youtube about thermite and it's quite shitty. It take time to burn and doesn't really dammage.

If this bmp wasn't open I'm pretty sure the grenade would have fell on the ground.

Belgium announced they are ready to deliver their F-16s to 404 in ... 2025.
That's called optimism folks!

Quantity falling



But some more AD from Germany

In the case of Germany and IRIS, they send them at the rate they can produce.
Which gives us quite an interesting perspective. The production rate is extremely slow ...

Two Majors:

October 11

The Russian Army launched a large-scale offensive , the main attack was focused on the Avdeevsky fortified area , which the Ukrainian Armed Forces had been filling with high-quality concrete for 8 years during the construction of fortifications.

In the Kherson direction , the Armed Forces of Ukraine are conducting long-range artillery attacks; the Russian Armed Forces, due to the difference in firing range, are conducting counter-battery combat using all available means, including aircraft-type kamikaze UAVs.

GEROMAN -- time will tell - --
@GeromanAT
The UK Ministry of Defense reports on the allocation of a new package of military assistance to the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the amount of $122 million

In addition, it will include the Terrahawk Paladin mobile modular short-range air defense system (pictured).

This is the latest development from MSI-DS; the complex can be installed on trucks, ships and helicopters.

Due to its novelty, Terrahawk Paladin is not yet in anyone's service. It is sent to Ukraine for testing in combat conditions.

If Russians had more thermite grenades, they could easier destroy left equipment in the battlefield. Be it their own or Ukrainian. Not to mention drop on trenches with tunnel/enclosed network.

It’s self explanatory why they need it. Before this, they used incendiary drops and it was great success. Check videos of drops on catches or smoking of treeline so combatants inside have to leave before their lungs are poisoned

LMUR is used so far away from LOC that they are pretty safe, Mi-28Nm also were filmed using terrain as an obstacle. 
Small infantry inserts with Manpads is what got Russian helicopters before, but they are above the city and it’s not contested. Safest place to hover above if you ask me

Some closer look on the first confirmed toasted Challenger.

Now it gets absolutely clear that there was ammo detonation, and the turren was blown away only landed back on the hull.



The tank was accompanied by at least two T-64BM mod. 2022 and multiple other vehicles. Everything was torned to pieces.

If helicopter is hiding behind Trees , then it means that it is vulnerable to LOS or optical tracking and / or IR tracking . Simple to arrange for tethered UCAV , to hover above Hill or Tree line of building , and relay info for gunners . Tanks could use same arrangement . Ukraine has beautiful Autumn , plenty of fuel for Thermite !

Despite intensive attempts yesterday, the Russian armed forces failed to contain the Ukrainian forces in Avdeevka. Without a major offensive, they will stand still. In this war, neither side is able to make a breakthrough on the battlefield. Russia still has too few forces to defeat the Ukrainian defense.
