For an unknown reason, the Ukrainian MLRS M142 HIMARS came close to the front line, according to some sources at a distance of 10 to 30 km. Naturally, the HIMARS MLRS firing was immediately noticed. The Ukrainian MLRS HIMARS launcher was tracked on the march and hit by a drone. The M142 HIMARS MLRS was developed in 1996 by the American company Lockheed Martin, the cost of one installation is about 5 million dollars.

A temporary underground garage was set up in this location. Judging by the video, all the Kozak armored vehicles were new and had no crews.

The Russian military unit, the Rubicon Advanced Unmanned Aerial Technologies Center, has published footage of combat operations in Ukraine, of Russian FPV drone interceptors. A total of 67 episodes of interception of Ukrainian drones, manufactured in different countries, are shown. The video also shows the route of the Russian FPV drone interceptor. The video is especially valuable because it can be used as a catalog of Ukrainian military UAVs. For a complete overview of the UAVs used by the Ukrainian army, another video by operators of the Rubicon Advanced Unmanned Aerial Technologies Center has been added. The models of drones of the Ukrainian army are indicated in the description of the video. The video shows Ukrainian and foreign-made UAVs used by the Ukrainian army.

An episode of combat work of the Russian 9K332 Tor-M2 air defense missile system in the Kharkov region of Ukraine. In the video, the Tor-M2 air defense missile system shoots down a Ukrainian Valkyrie UAV using a 3M338K missile. The latest version of the Tor-M2 air defense missile system can detect air targets at a range of up to 32 km and hit them at a range of up to 16 km. An interesting fact is that NATO tested the Tor-M1 air defense missile system in Greece, and the results of these tests highly praised the air defense system. Based on its overall characteristics, the Tor-M2 air defense missile system still has no analogues in the world in its air defense class.
Footage of a Russian FPV drone attacking a Ukrainian M577 command and staff armored vehicle.

Personally I look at it like this...
Putin is a bully (or a prick)... He will keep probing and poking the bear...
My view is bloody his nose... Don't wake the bear...
If we do the numbers, as wars cost, this is very cheap... Compared to Iraq or Afghanistan... Russia the third biggest military is in a complete quagmire in Ukraine... They are getting in a stalemate with a much smaller nation who don't even have enough ammo...
My view is take Russia to task... Give them a lesson to not F with the West and NATO... We will do what we like and Putin if that hurts your feelings, go suck your thumb... And if we want to get involved in Georgia in the future , you will do what your told there as well...
So set up a mercenary airforce and separate the Russian forces using Airpower and Drones by running a line just before Mariupol and stop all traffic going Mariupol to Crimea. Then bomb the bridge and port... Crimea is effectively cut off... Wait for the surrender of all that land...
Then push on one front, leave them a sliver of land (about 1/3 Donbas ish). This to allow Russians move out, leaving Ukraine with a more solid population and less Russian dissenters in future...
Ukraine joins EU and NATO.
Putin opens his F**king mouth we will start a propaganda war on Belarus... Putin does any political interference we will cyber attack all media a publish how he is robbing the Russian people... He can remain in charge as long as he is a good little doggy..

An episode of the assault by a Russian unit, a stronghold of the Ukrainian army, using two TM-62M anti-tank mines. This method of assault has become quite common, anti-tank mines are used instead of grenades, since the effect of their use is stronger. The TM-62M anti-tank mine was developed in the USSR in the early 1960s, it is used by many armies, the mass of explosive in it is up to 10 kg. The video is shortened and filmed in Donbass, the exact location is unknown, as a result of the battle, several Ukrainian servicemen surrendered, shown at the end of the video.

Footage of Russian FPV drones attacking a Ukrainian Leopard 1A5 tank. The video was shot near the town of Stepanovka in the Donetsk direction. The Leopard 1A5 tank was created in Germany in 1987, it is a modernization of the first Leopard-1 tank, it has already been decommissioned. When creating the Leopard 1A5 tank, the designers relied on a powerful gun and excellent mobility, while the tank has weak basic armor.

Because of this, the Ukrainian Leopard 1A5 tank became uncontrollable and drove into a trench, where it eventually got stuck and was destroyed by drones.
Footage of the explosion of a Ukrainian armored vehicle "MaxxPro", American-made, on a mine barrier in the Kharkov region of Ukraine. The mine barrier of TM-62M mines was installed on the road using the Russian homemade robotic complex "Miner".

The Ukrainian army showed the Soviet S-200V/M Vega air defense system, used for firing at ground targets. The S-200 air defense system was adopted by the USSR in 1967, it can hit targets at an altitude of up to 40 km and a range of up to 255 km. This air defense is still effective. Launches of Ukrainian 5V28 missiles are carried out from stationary 5P72 launchers. It is worth noting that the S-200 air defense systems were removed from service by Ukraine in 2013 and were in storage, but since 2022 they have been used again. It is currently unknown how functional the missiles are, presumably some of the missiles were received from Europe. Ukrainian missiles received a new inertial navigation system, as well as a GPS correction module, the range of the missiles was increased to 450 km.
On May 16, the Ukrainian Air Force reported losing contact with an F-16 fighter jet that was performing missions to repel an air attack by drones.

On April 12, 2025, the Ukrainian Air Force reported the loss of another F-16, in which the pilot died. On April 13, the Russian Defense Ministry reported that the F-16 was shot down by air defense.
Footage of the interception of a Ukrainian UAV by the Russian Yolka interceptor drone. The drone has been in use for a year now, the video was recorded in September 2024, but there is no technical information on the drone. The Yolka interceptor drone has homing and carries out kinetic interception of the Ukrainian UAV. The drone can also be equipped with a warhead. The interceptor operates on the principle of "fire and forget". This method allows you to quickly and safely respond to threats from drones
