Depopulation of Ukraine

not sure why the column decided to stop and park near each other.
if a Ukraine drone can spot it, most likely not far from frontline.

Ukraine Commander in Chief Zaluzhnyi gonna bring the war into russia.

"The enemy can and should be killed on its territory. Partners are afraid to hand over weapons. We will do it with our own weapons," Zaluzhnyi said.
In an interview with The Washington Post, the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces stated that it is up to them to decide how to kill the Russians.
"In order to save my people, why should I ask someone for permission to do something in enemy territory? For some reason I have to think that there is nothing I can do there. Why? Because Putin... will use nuclear weapons?" he emphasized.

compilation of videos of destroyed russian equipment, most likely through month.

no date.
around 5-6 russian vehicles.

the burning tank... refuse to give up.

one would have thought a IFV would have been blown apart by a MBT main cannon.

surprisingly the M2 Bradley manage to held its own.

from the comments:

Most likely a 125mm HE-Frag round, the outer layer of steel plating is torn off across much of the left side. Both sides use them against BMPs as nearly 6kg of explosives usually obliterates them.

Reckon that this isn't a T-72 APFSDS-T/HE-FRAG/HEAT-FS 125mm shell hit. It would be a rather small round hole&no one surviving in the hit area&around.
Could be a 122mm Grad missile...🤗 Not even Bradley can survive 125mm direct hit, especially on such a thin armour section.

No more Patriots?

This example shows how Russian propaganda channels operate.

The first video is widely distributed in Russian channels, claiming that a Leopard hit a mine and got destroyed. The video gets cut right after the explosion (like in many Lancet videos) without revealing what really happened.

The second video shows the same situation but with a different angle and a completely different story, proving that the tank was not only a T-64 but also deliberately mine-clearing the area with mine-rollers. Furthermore, it is pretty much intact after triggering the mine.

have always like the STRKER family of fast, mobile, combat vehicles and modular.

can't help but feel it took some inspiration from the Tesla truck.

How the west feels on the issue of Ukraine's membership into NATO

3/ Previous videos have spoken of breakdowns in Russian logistics, where the frontline men have not received food, water or ammunition. This one includes the remarkable statement that men were not allowed to go and get ammunition and were turned back from collecting it.

4/ In another video, relatives say that their men in the Luhansk region are so short of ammo that they have to "go with automatic rifles against tanks ... when ammunition runs out and they don't bring new supplies, you run with it like with a stick."

5/ In southern Ukraine, other relatives say, their men ran out of ammunition and were left with automatic rifles they couldn't fire, "which they can at best use as sticks".

6/ It's not clear how typical these problems are, but they suggest that the Russians are having very severe logistical problems in at least three areas along the front line, hundreds of kilometers apart – in the Luhansk, Donetsk and Zaporizhzhia regions.

7/ It suggests two things to me:

🔺 First, that that Ukrainian strategy of hitting logistics routes and ammunition dumps with long-range fires is having severe effects on the Russians' ability to supply the front lines.

8/🔺 Second, that if the men seen or discussed in these videos are typical, Russia's apparent defensive strength is illusionary, and that behind the strongly constructed trenches and dense minefields, the defending Russians are poorly armed and have little ammunition.

9/ It should be remembered that Ukraine's counteroffensive is clearly currently in an attritional, probing phase where they are trying to degrade the Russian logistics and artillery, and identify weak points in the defences.

10/ Once they've achieved that to a satisfactory degree, I think we will be surprised – or maybe shocked – at how rapidly the Ukrainians deal with the demoralised, underfed and underequipped men remaining in the Russian trenches. /end

Some humanity still remains. A Ukrainian soldier tries to apply CPR on a civilian his squad shot at moments earlier, but was burusquely told to stop his efforts.....

Note: This is a short clip from the video I posted earlier
