but due to misalignment, the cabin couldn’t be fixed. Officially, of course, nothing is being communicated since the commission is still investigating (within the expected timeline).

A gunner of a ruSSian T-80BVM talks about the quality of his tank:

"About the BVM — like about the dead: either speak well, or not at all… The situation is like with the AK-12 — something that looks quite good on paper, but the quality of execution… bolts made of silumin,

they break instantly, and you’re afraid to even tighten them.
The electronics are buggy, acting on their own.The components — pure luck.I wasn’t lucky: the hydraulics in the turret started leaking as soon as the vehicle rolled off the trailer.And it’s still leaking to this day

fix one thing, another starts leaking and so on in circle.
Ergonomics — vehicles w/ an autoloader are cramped by default, but in the BVM it’s even tighter because of the thermal imager,especially for the cmmander.
The sight is decent,but there’s simply nothing to compare it w/

A small UPD about the Pokrovsk direction by Kindratyuk
"Well, the situation near Pokrovsk is once again gradually turning critical.
ruSSians has re-occupied Kotlyne and Udachne (yet again) and is moving toward the Pokrovske mine management area — the very same coking coal mine

They enter the mine’s territory in small groups but fail to hold positions for long, as they are quickly eliminated. Still, these are worrying signs.

In the southern part of the city, the occupiers constantly infiltrate the southern neighborhoods in small groups, taking

However, He explained that challenges remain with the 155mm caliber—the NATO standard 🇺🇦 is gradually adopting.
He noted that even w/ enough artillery systems available, not all units can transition from older Soviet guns because the supply of 155mm shells is still limited
