The remains of the LPR's handiwork on a Ukrainian armored column.



Ukrainians improvised a suicide drone out of a Mavic quadcopter and with devastating results.



Ukrainian tank firing, and I see a BTR-4 knocked out here from return fire.



An attempt to push out Wagner PMC out of the Bakhmut outskirts didn't turn out well.

I watched the video about mariupol, and I think I started to understand the constrain of the Russians.

They can push hard to regain territories in the East, but the USA can make sure the damage to the infrastructure / indsutry will be debilitating, so the liberated areas will be unsuitable for any economical activity for a decade.

Just cehck how mariupol looks like now.

And the NATO mercanaries could make sure this equation will stay whatever happens, one Polish mech can destroy in few month time as much property that the replacement will take years worth of manpower.

So, the current strategy most likelly centered around to attack the NATO will to support ukraine, and impose high cost.

This was the first stage, target is to push as much refugee to west as possible.

Second coule be to move the military activity to areas irrelevant to Russia, like wester Ukraine.

Say, from Russia standpoint , if say the Polish border areas controled by Russia then there is a natural bargain to exchange them for Donetsk areas.

Other sied, the only way to stop the war is to cut the transport between the NATO and Ukraine.

From that picture the hole definitely isn't 25m wide, maybe he was talking about blast dispersion?
The hole looks a lot like the one left by the failing S300 in a park in Kiev back in October, slightly bigger since the missile probably had more fuel in it.
