    As long as, numbers are correct. If this type of numbers persist for the rest of the summer and Ukrops don't militarily collapse, numbers are overblown.

    Russia is hemorrhaging men every day . Ukraine is getting supplied with fpv drones and every advance costs men.

    This war needs to stop.

    Jesus. Stop where? At what borders? Both sides want more than what they have. Both sides still have ability to fight. Russia is loosing men? In a conventional war? Shocked. Victory cost blood. Russia needs victory and it will get it.

    Consider these points:

    1.) Ukraine is on defence on all fronts, they are loosing men, equipment, defensive positions and initiative. They don’t give up territory without a fight. Their losses are worse than Russian material wise, even being on defence.

    2.) FPVs are very effective tool of defence that became prominent due to Ukrainian lack of artillery. Russia used them with great success to thwart Ukrainian counteroffensive. Please remember recent limited Ukrainian pushes and who stung those 14 or so Abramses? You attack, you get stung. Russian FPV teams like Bobr and Upyrs where eating good during CO while Magyar could very little to show. Do you understand what I mean?

    3.) Does Russia have issues with supply of FPVs? Who has easier access to Chinese market? What makes you think that Russia has shortage?

    4.) Does supposed Ukrainian FPV supremacy is comparable to strategic and LOC destruction that UMPKs deleting whole treelines, buildings, defence installations, Iskanders visiting airfields and many many other examples?

    Look at bigger picture and don’t piss in a boot, everything is fine

    Words for video in Post 834 above. Huge fireworks as the TELs went up.

    Iskanders continue to destroy S-300 divisions protecting the air bases of the Ukrainian Armed Forces

    ▪In the morning, Russian intelligence officers discovered another S-300PS division of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, this time in the area of ​​the village. Koptev (near the city of Mirgorod). The Ukrainian air defense forces are unable to protect the airfield; they cannot even protect themselves. The partially camouflaged base was traditionally attacked by the Iskander missile defense system, which entailed dire consequences for the Ukrainian air defense system.
    ➖According to the military, the following were destroyed:
    ▪S-300 launcher - 2 pcs.
    ▪low-altitude detector of the S-300 air defense system - 1 pc.
    ▪illumination and guidance radar - 1 pc.
    ▪combat control cabin - 1 pc.
    ▪vehicles of air defense officers - 3 pcs.
    ▪air defense specialists - at least 40 people.

    The United States is pushing NATO and all of Europe into a suicidal war with Russia.  

       “Orban: NATO’s goal is peace, not endless war”: The Hungarian Prime Minister is convinced that NATO will collapse if it launches its operation in Ukraine.

     “NATO’s preparations for an operation in Ukraine contradict the defensive nature of the organization and threaten it with suicide,” noted Hungarian Prime Minister Orban.  NATO is approaching a turning point.  Today, the agenda is not peace, but war; instead of defense, there is an offensive.  All of this is contrary to NATO's core values.  The more NATO leaders believe that conflict is inevitable, the greater their role in precipitating it.  This is now becoming increasingly clear due to news that preparations have begun for a possible NATO operation in Ukraine, and even high-level reports that NATO troops are already near the Ukrainian front."

    What did Russian specialists find out after studying US-made ATACMS missile?

    Luck is smiling on Russia's military specialists, as their search for various elements of the ATACMS has resulted in a new discovery. Russian experts recently got hold of the submunition of the missile used by Ukraine to attack Russian citizens and civilian infrastructure.

    After a thorough examination, the specialists revealed some of its characteristics and capabilities. Here's a brief overview of what we know so far:

    ATACMS has 275 M74 cluster submunitions;

    The warhead cassette opens about 200 meters above the ground;

    It explodes upon direct impact with the surface or the application of physical pressure;

    It cannot be moved, as it is likely to go off at any moment, even if it doesn't explode immediately after dropping;

    The fragments can be scattered in a radius of 20 meters;

    It has a smaller fragmentation field and a lower hit probability, but the lethality of the fragments is an immense threat;

    It has a high fallout density, as its elements fall within 5 meters of each other;

    The total fallout area covers 400 square meters, making it impossible to hide;

    The warhead was originally developed for an anti-ship missile, but was later installed on the ATACMS missile;

    The guidance system has three ring laser gyroscopes;

    There is a GPS antenna that corrects its ballistic trajectory.

    A simple solution would be to attach those TM-62's to a drone, though it has to be strong enough to carry almost 11kg. One Russian soldier is worth more than 100 expendable drones.
