▪️The Ukrainian military controls the north and center of Robotyne. And they are probably expanding the bridgehead between Novoprokopivka and Verbove.

▪️Slowly, but the offensive is coming. The next few weeks could be decisive for Ukraine's campaign in Zaporizhzhia.

Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said that Ukraine has photographic evidence that Shahed drones fell on the territory of Romania.

"I think that in this particular case, the Romanian authorities, are now studying all aspects of what happened. It's pointless to deny that something fell there. And we authoritatively claim, with evidence, that it was Shahed drones that flew there. We have photographic evidence that something fell there," he added.

Final Push Begins | First Ever Confirmed Loss Of Challenger II Tank

The myth of indestructible British tank with Chobham armor finally dispelled.

Russian HERAN Drones Fell In NATO Territory. Military Summary And Analysis For 2023.09.05

It was a bull's eye hit for the Russian Army at the Ukrainian position in the Donetsk region. A long-term firing point of Ukrainian armed forces in Spornoye town, Donetsk, has been destroyed. This point was used by Ukrainian troops to actively shell the Russian Army.

they didn't get the Chobham armor version... sadly.

the Ukrainians got the versions of Challenger 2 and Abrams doesn't have the top secret armor that the US and British has but i don't think they be complaining, it sure beats T-72 that is in their own inventory.

This is how 🇺🇦Ukraine attacked 🇷🇺Russian airfields from its territory.

The video shows the special operations of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine in December 2022. The Diaghilev and Engels airbases, located 500 km from the Ukrainian border, were attacked using Soviet Tu-141 Strizh UAVs converted into kamikaze UAVs.

At least one Russian Tu-22M3 strategic bomber was significantly damaged then

Where did you get info that the Challenger 2 given to Ukraine doesn't have Chobham armor?

Vremyevsky site
situation as of 11.00 September 5, 2023

On the right flank of the Vremievsky sector early in the morning, the enemy became more active on the line of Zolotaya Niva - Prechistovka. Two armored combat vehicles of the 38th infantry regiment, deployed there the day before, reached the line, where they were covered by artillery of the 40th Marine Guards Brigade. One of the armored vehicles was destroyed, the second went back.

🔻 A couple of hours later, Ukrainian formations attacked the positions of the 37th brigade of the Russian Armed Forces in Novodonetsk on one tank and five to six armored vehicles. The tank immediately hit a mine near the village, and the rest were dealt a mass strike from the "Carnation" and "Grad" 40 gvobrmp, because of which they retreated.

And around 8 am, the AFU launched an attack on Novomayorskoye with infantry groups supported by two tanks. The attack was also repulsed by the forces of Russian marines.

🔻The enemy’s intention here is obvious: the Ukrainian formations wanted to strike at the joint of the 37th brigade and 40th gvobrmp, taking advantage of bad weather conditions, which made it difficult to use aviation, which was what Voin DV (https://t.me/voin_dv/4760) said.

Also, the concentration of the AFU remains in the direction of Priyutnoye, where mutual shelling has been going on for the past few days, and the AFU have pulled additional infantry units and mortar crews into the area in preparation for the attack.

oh sorry. it was the Abrams that got strip of the composite armor not the Challenger 2.
i think the British may not mind giving Ukrainians the full set Challenger 2.
