A Russian KamAZ, possibly command variant, was captured yesterday. Definitely Russian, notice the red IFF around the slain soldier. He was also wearing a vest and helmet, tell tale signs of it being a proper Russian soldier.
Two destroyed Russian BM-21 Grad MLRS from the 200th Motorized Rifle Brigade and what seems to be their ammo carriers completely destroyed, in or around Kharkiv.

24 or 25-02:
One Russian BMP-2 was captured, alongside at least three dead Russian troops, in Kherson.
What appear to be four Russian military trucks and four Msta-B towed towed howitzers, damaged and abandoned in Kherson.
24 or 25-02:
Longer video of the two destroyed Russian BM-21 Grad. I am also inclined to believe the two ammo carriers are also BM-21, notice the rocket tubes strewn about.
(
Russian military vehicles destroyed or damaged, and abandoned around Kherson.
These include:
- 1x BMP-2
- 1x R-149MA1
- 2x BMD-2 (or similar vehicles destroyed)
The Russian military AFV destroyed by Ukrainian forces in Mykolaiv city, see tweet below, appears to be an 2S1 SPH. The vehicle could also be of Ukrainian origin...
Russian military BMP-3 captured, reportedly alongside one crew member, by Ukrainian forces near Nikolaev.
27-02:
Russian military Tigr-M IMV destroyed by Ukrainian forces during the failed Russian assault in Kharkiv earlier this morning.
27-02:
Video footage of what appear to be five Russian military Tigr-M IMV deserted by their crew, who appeared to be Russian Spetsnaz, and seized by Ukrainian forces. Again during the failed Russian assault in Kharkiv.
27-02:
Picture of at least four of the Tigr-M abandoned by Russian Spetsnaz in Kharkiv.
27-02:
Video shows abandoned Russian military vehicles seized by Ukrainian forces. These include:
Two Russian military T-80U MBTs abandoned and seized by Ukrainian forces. Notice the jumper cables on the ground, one of the two vehicles probably had a breakdown.
27-02:
Video footage of a Ukrainian TB2 UCAV striking a Russian military column on the tarmac of Kherson International Airport. One ammunition truck is destroyed, at least.
(
Same strike, but seen through the EO of another TB2 UCAV. At least two TB2's were flying around that Russian military column. I suspect many more vehicles were hit by these two.
27-02:
Russian VDV BMD-2 IFV abandoned and seized by Ukrainian forces in Gostomel, Kyiv Oblast.
27-02:
What appears to be the seventh Russian Tigr-M lost in Kharkiv. Six captured (this one included) and one destroyed.
A Russian military tank (I think T-72B3 or T-72B Obr. 1989) and a truck have been captured alongside four Russian soldiers by Ukrainian forces in Chernihiv Oblast
28-02:
Very large Russian military convoy, with vehicles from the 4th Tank Division, abandoned and seized by Ukrainian forces. Included are:
Russian air defenses at Belgorod airport failed marvelously today. What appears to be the SAM-launcher itself got struck directly, perhaps a TELAR struck by HARM.
White smoke clouds can be indicative of rocket fuel going ablaze. But I'm not seeing the "sparks", in conjunction with white smoke, usually associated with their detonation.
However, they still appear to be rather accurate for solely GNSS (+INS or IMU) guided munitions.
Perhaps they both, or just the larger shahed-136, possess a small radar transceiver for terminal homing. Given the accuracy and ability to hit such a pillar.
Looks like the Ukrainians retrofitted an S-60 anti-aircraft artillery gun with a siemens simatic control panel.
Notice the arrows on the four lower buttons. They likely actuate the gun, moving it up, down, left, right. Likely by means of some hydraulic actuators and a PLC. Nice.
This is very clever, perhaps overkill when manual actuation is also possible (notice all the wheels and cranks), but still very clever and cool. I love it!
Also notice some kind of joy-stick/controller, an generator/battery, a possible optical sight, and ear-pro!
This old piece of weaponary was modernized quite cleverly, probably used for indirect fire support. This is fucking awesome!
TASS and other Russian channels are lying cunts. The original S-400 deal signed back on April 11, 2017 was to include two squadrons consisting of four 'batteries' (rather battalions) with eight TEL, two radars and one command post each. savunmasanayist.com/bakan-cavusogl…
In 2019, Turkey received all the equipment and weaponary to arm two battalions, so one Squadron.
Based on OSINT this can be concluded, they have enough radars and TEL to arm ONE squadron. The second squadron was supposed to be delivered in 2020, but that never happened (I think)
The 2020 deliveries of the second squadron might have been postponed due to technology transfer disputes, or so it's specualted. What the actual reason is, is unknown from my understanding.

Since then, the Black Sea Fleet has lost its flagship missile cruiser Moskva, one Alligator-class LST, one Rescue Tug, and multiple raptor-class patrol boats...:)
