The missile defeated an UAV, validating the capability of the combined systems to defeat emerging threats on land and in the air.
The LWCLU's primary mission is as the launcher for the Javelin missile, however its superior optics also allow for stand-alone Intelligence,

Od początku: RU napadli na UA w lutym br. Od tamtej pory zajęli spory % 🇺🇦 teryt., odpowiadają za śmierć tys. (dziesiątek tys.?) Ukraińców (w tym za jednoznaczne zbrodnie wojenne #Bucza), rany wielu innych, utratę majątku i exodus milionów UA. Odpowiadają też pośrednio za 2/X

The Stugna (aka #Skif) #ATGM system is pretty neat, especially for defenses, static warfare & prepared ambushes. Also has a vehicular derivative for mobile warfare - a remotely controlled station courtesy of yet another #Ukraine-#Turkey cooperation.

Tytułem strat na #Ukraina w #WarInUkraine, SZU tracą spore ilości broni ciężkiej. Na ogół tego nie widzimy (poza może @oryxspioenkop który śledzi materiały foto i wideo), ale te straty są. Nie tak ciężkie zapewne, jak chce 🇷🇺 agresor, ale mimo wszystko SZU nie mają bezdennych 1/X
zapasów. Czym je uzupełnić? W innych warunkach mogliby pewnie kontynuować remonty własnych czołgów, pewne zapasy mieli. Ile tych zapasów ewakuowano na Zachód i ilu nie zniszczyli 🇷🇺? Nie wiadomo. Nie ma natomiast za bardzo gdzie ich remontować: Charków zrównany z ziemią, 2/X
Żytomierz ostrzelany, jak Lwów-nie wiem, ale ryzyko zniszczenia jest duże. Poza #Ukraina nie ma komu obsługiwać lokalnie podstawowych T-64, więc za granicą najwyżej T-72. Trochę pomaga zapewne zdobycz wojenna, bo Ukraińcy zdobywają sporo (lecz nie setki) T-72B3, T-80BWM 3/X
