Irpin, Russian VDV unit destroyed. BMDs on fire
Had to do a bit of trimming there to remove some graphic content
I would go to @GirkinGirkin if you want a very raw feed
The Ukrainians officially released a video after I did and said it was Gostomel so 🤷‍♂️. It is definitely to the West of Kyiv.

Another aircraft downed in Chernihiv
Unsure of the type, maybe an SU-30?
Yeah I can see 2 chutes, maybe an SU-34 then.

This is the hopeful analysis of the situation, I might as well provide the more disappointing one.

Russia has probably been spending the last few days unscrewing up their supply situation.

The southern offensive is setting up for an amphibious landing near Odessa.
You can start to see it, the visible rear area Russian formations look more alert. They may not have air superiority, and AD units are becoming keenly aware that there may be enemy aircraft overhead.
The offensive to the east of Kyiv has made some significant progress, bypassing Sumy to move heavier units towards Kyiv. Granted they’re working with a long supply line but they seem to be rolling over a lot of stuff in their way.

To be honest Twitter has graced us with some of the most beautifully terrible defense takes over the past 48 hours. Image
Apart from the fact that it’s logistically impossible and politically a terrible idea.

A-10s would get destroyed by the current Russian air defense systems present.

Okay this could either be a 9M728 Iskander K, or a 3M14 Kaliber.

Definitely a cruise missile.
I don’t think I’ve actually ever seen either in a functional condition this close before
Okay it’s definitely a 3M14 Kaliber

It’s been a week since Russia kicked off direct hostilities against Ukraine, and here’s where we stand.

First, Russian forces have absolutely met stiffer resistance and failed to meet initial goals.

Kyiv and Kharkiv remain in Ukrainian hands.
The initial campaign of strikes failed to cause crippling damage to the warfighting abilities of the Ukrainians, especially the air defense network and Air Force

The RUAF has also been surprisingly absent from the fighting, some explanations have been put forward for that.
The Russian southern offensive was much more successful in the first few days, as it captured major objectives and secured bridgeheads over the Dnieper River.

Initial Russian offensives in the north, especially around Kyiv, were disastrous. VDV forces took heavy losses
