πŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊπŸ”₯πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ #Russia vs #Ukraine - Day 257 - Let's start our daily #thread on the #UkraineRussianWar.

πŸŸ₯ In the following video you can see what this British #Mastiff used by Ukraine looks like after an RPG hit the armour grid.

πŸŸ₯ Thanks for sharing!πŸ™
πŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊπŸ”₯πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ #Russia vs #Ukraine - Day 257 - According to this, the damage caused by the Russian drone "Lancet" that hit the superstructure of a Ukrainian gunboat "Gyurza-M" last week was reportedly minor and it will return to service in a few days.

πŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊπŸ”₯πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ #Russia vs #Ukraine - Day 257 - The following tweet includes a compilation of images taken by Russian drones showing several attacks against Ukrainian forces in the #Pavlivka area.
πŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊπŸ”₯πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ #Russia vs #Ukraine - Day 257 - Until now we had not seen this video with subtitles. We shared it when it was released, but translated, the level of tension achieved is much better appreciated.
πŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊπŸ”₯πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ #Russia vs #Ukraine - Day 257 - A curiosity, for the "very coffee-lovers", that we have just taken out of a second-hand book on World History written in the 1980s. Apparently, the previous owner kept it together with an article by Marcelino Oreja on "Perestroika". Image
πŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊπŸ”₯πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ #Russia vs #Ukraine - Day 257 - Another curiosity, which has a lot to do with the #UkraineRussianWar, the shift to a framework of great power competition, relative power, and Russia's need to increase its population in a time of demographic regression... Image
πŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊπŸ”₯πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ #Russia vs #Ukraine - Day 257 - One of the best videos we have seen to date of a Russian "Lancet" suicide drone in action. The special feature is that it is seen attacking the SAM "Buk" on the move, although it is difficult to quantify the damage.
πŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊπŸ”₯πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ #Russia vs #Ukraine - Day 257 - More evidence on the level of Russian losses in #Pavlivka.
πŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊπŸ”₯πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ #Russia vs #Ukraine - Day 257 - This sent by @will_pulido is important. The fact is that the Turkish Navy has invested heavily in recent years and is in many ways superior to the Russian Black Sea Fleet.
πŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊπŸ”₯πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ #Russia vs #Ukraine - Day 257 - Already 48 hours ago the city of #Kherson was without TV or internet access. Right now on #Telegram it is said that there is no electricity. Still, Russia may well seek Ukrainian attrition in urban environment.
πŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊπŸ”₯πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ #Russia vs #Ukraine - Day 257 - Some guided munitions (Excalibur) cost tens of thousands of dollars. Yet when you add up the cost of transporting and using the required number of unguided shells to achieve the same effect, they come very cheap.
πŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊπŸ”₯πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ #Russia vs #Ukraine - Day 257 - Video of Russian 155th Infantry Brigade tanks in #Pavlivka. Evidence of casualties begins to emerge.
πŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊπŸ”₯πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ #Russia vs #Ukraine - Day 257 - The first #NASAMS and #Aspide anti-aircraft systems sent by the πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ and πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡Έ respectively have arrived to #Ukraine.
πŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊπŸ”₯πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ #Russia vs #Ukraine - Day 257 - 1) As @alexgarcialonso rightly notes, providing screenshots taken from a @RUSI_org report, combat beyond visual range (BVR) is also being imposed in the Ukrainian War. Sensors are the real key here.
πŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊπŸ”₯πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ #Russia vs #Ukraine - Day 257 - 2) However, the fact that the MiG-31 and Su-35 have had an absolute advantage in this context should not make us forget that they lack AESA radars, sensor fusion, and many other essential capabilities. Image
πŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊπŸ”₯πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ #Russia vs #Ukraine - Day 257 - 1) #Prigozhin, barring "trolling", which is possible, openly admits on #Telegram that Russia is trying to influence #US elections, as well as that they will continue to do so.

πŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊπŸ”₯πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ #Russia vs #Ukraine - Day 257 - On the subject, from @SilasCia ⬇️
armiesmagazine.com/2022/09/23/the…
πŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊπŸ”₯πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ #Russia vs #Ukraine - Day 257 - More videos of Russian losses in #Pavlivka.
πŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊπŸ”₯πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ #Russia vs #Ukraine - Day 257 -@oryxspioenkop, @Ch_Trebesch and @JEyal_RUSI on international aid to Ukraine, what Europe is providing, how to measure it...
πŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊπŸ”₯πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ #Russia vs #Ukraine - Day 257 - 2) But beyond the aid that we can measure, however mean some #EU states may be, there is other aid that is very difficult to assess in quantitative terms.
πŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊπŸ”₯πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ #Russia vs #Ukraine - Day 257 - 3) For instance:

➑️ The #EU (not #US) has endured the arrival of millions of Ukrainian refugees.

➑️ The #EU must bear the energy crisis (a huge show of support for Ukraine) which is a huge sacrifice.
πŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊπŸ”₯πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ #Russia vs #Ukraine - Day 257 - 3)

➑️The #EU would suffer the consequences of a #nuclear escalation.

➑️The #EU's stockpile of armaments, especially advanced ones, was much smaller, making any deliveries relatively more valuable.
πŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊπŸ”₯πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ #Russia vs #Ukraine - Day 257 - There are more controversial aspects, but these serve as a sample. And it is not a question of criticising or praising one or the other, but of placing the debate in the right coordinates, since not everything is X systems or X euros.
πŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊπŸ”₯πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ #Russia vs #Ukraine - Day 257 - On #Pavlivka, it's hard to explain how suicidal it is to take the only path for km around knowing that there are ATGMs everywhere, drones orbiting and guided munitions for Ukrainian artillery.

πŸŸ₯Reminiscent of #Brovary (R). ImageImage

πŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊπŸ”₯πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ #Russia vs #Ukraine - Day 257 - Russian company Ekzo Solutions is to test exoskeletons for the country's gunners. At least in some units. We are unlikely to see them in service anytime soon. Not in this war.

πŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊπŸ”₯πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ #Russia vs #Ukraine - Day 257 - One of the beams to be used to repair the #Kerch bridge in #Crimea is already on its way. Image

πŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊπŸ”₯πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ #Russia vs #Ukraine - Day 257 - Graphics update on the #Pavlivka battle.
πŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊπŸ”₯πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ #Russia vs #Ukraine - Day 257 - Finally, to close today's thread, we share this photo about the tragic reality in #Bakhmut. Image

πŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊπŸ”₯πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ #Russia vs #Ukraine - Day 258 - Let's begin our daily #thread on the #UkraineRussiaWar.

πŸŸ₯Yesterday we talked about how suicidal some tactics are. This T-72B3 advances alongside uncleared trenches with no infantry support, waiting for an AT ...

πŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊπŸ”₯πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ #Russia vs #Ukraine - Day 258 - It has no relevance to the course of the war, but it is curious that its operators decorated this Russian UAV with the acronym of the USSR. ImageImageImage
πŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊπŸ”₯πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ #Russia vs #Ukraine - Day 258 - Speaking of drones, the following video gives a close-up look at a Shaheed-131, among others.

πŸŸ₯ The use of Iranian drones has plummeted these days, probably due to a lack of stock. We'll see if the sanctions work...

πŸ‡·πŸ‡ΊπŸ”₯πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ #Russia vs #Ukraine - Day 256 - #US would have asked #Ukraine to show openness to negotiate with Russia. Not to make a deal, but to ensure it maintains the moral high ground in the eyes of the international community and its partners.
