#Ukraine: In this thread we will cover the losses of the Ukrainian army in Sievierodonetsk, #Luhansk Oblast: at least two US-supplied HMMWV M1115A1 armored IMVs were captured there by Russian forces, though one is seriously damaged and will be likely used for spare parts.
Three MT-12 100mm anti-tank guns were lost too - some shrapnel damage can be observed on one of them and another is completely destroyed together with the cargo truck that towed it.
A Ukrainian AT-105 Saxon armored personnel carrier, which was purchased from Britain in 2015, was destroyed by the Russian forces in the city.
A single Ukrainian MT-LB armored personnel carrier was captured on the Azot factory of Sievierodonetsk.
And as @Tmgneff adds two more US-supplied HMMWV infantry mobility vehicles were also destroyed in the area.

#Russia: This morning two Russian cities were woken by explosions - the Ukrainian army fired on targets in #Belgorod and #Kursk, however neither were successfully hit according to preliminary information.
In the case of Belgorod the UAF used at least one Tochka-U tactical missile with either HE or cluster warhead (the Russian Ministry of Defense says three of them with cluster warheads were launched, but all were shot down).
As the governor of Belgorod Oblast says one of the Tochka-U was intercepted by Russian air defense systems but the wreckage of the missile fell on a civilian building killing 4 and injuring 4 more.

We passed by all the scandals before, but this is just getting ridiculous - the famous @CanadianUkrain1 account, who claims to be fighting on the side of Ukraine, is a liar.
Recently after months of using other people's photos he posted his "battle rifle" - what he wants people believe is a Soviet AKS-74U with a suppressor.
No matter how funny it sounds this is in fact an airsoft replica by CYMA (CM.045C). You can notice the exact same rail, and coating differing from the real thing, and other details which can be easily noticed by anyone who has ever seen an AK in real life.

Ukrainian journalist Yuriy Butusov published a documentary about the most riskiest and complicated mission of the whole war in Ukraine - delivery of supplies, weapons and troops into besieged Mariupol via helicopters.
The helicopters took off from Ukrainian-controlled territory at 4-5 am in the dark, flew over it for 40 minutes, and then 40 minutes over the enemy - starting from Mileykino, the flight began over the sea.
The entire flight continued in extremely difficult conditions: in the dark at extremely low altitude - almost touching trees with landing gear. To somehow facilitate the flight at night, the pilots used Polish THL-5NV helmets with PNL-3 Orlik night vision goggles.

#Ukraine: A great documentary was recently released by @PopularFront_ covering the "Hoods Hoods Klan", a group of Ukrainian anti-fascist football hooligans who are fighting the Russian invasion. It can be viewed here:
We have been asked to cover some interesting aspects of the arms used by the group. In general, these are the same as other UA Units/Militias; AK variants, in particular the AK-74, AKS-74U, AKM & RPK are most common.
That being said, there are a few other weapons of interest.

For example, we can observe the US-donated FGM-148 Javelin ATGM in this shot - these have proven to be extremely effective on the battlefield.

#Ukraine: Usually reliable Russian channels claim that this was a UA jet, providing this video. Whilst the footage does not prove the operator of the jet, this is certainly not a Su-25- rather a MiG-29 (Operated by UA), or Sukhoi (Variants of which are operated by both sides.)
According to our sources on the Ukrainian side, it can be stated with high confidence that it was a Ukrainian jet- but the type is unknown.

Whilst we cannot be totally sure either way, we seek to be as accurate as possible with our reporting.
Another video from the crash site - whilst it is relatively hard to identify the precise type, the wreckage is likely from the Su-27 family [Thanks, everybody!].
Both sides operate these jets.

#Ukraine: Recently, video has appeared purporting to show FGM-148 Javelin from Ukraine on sale in Idlib, Syria. This is blatant disinfo.

Instead, we see SMAW-D & APILAS launchers. Both of these have been documented as captured by the Assad regime- there is 0 proof of UA origin.
The man also mentions "mines" (Actually ammo boxes) & rifles that are also claimed to be from Ukraine. The rifles are FN FAL & apparent M16A2. Again, easily sourced locally in Syria- but never seen in UA. It is worth a note that the APILAS has so far never been seen in UA either.
Of course, smuggling from UA to MENA is possible and has occurred in the past. However, this is an example of an obvious fake by the Russia and Syrian regime, where most of the weapons shown were not even donated to UA. The original source is highly suspicious- see screenshots.
