Why do Ukrainian Kirpi have the desert camo though?
And is it known what was used to strike the airbase in Crimea?

They were sent directly from the Turkish land forces Inventory thats why Ukrainians will probably going to paint them OD green.

I'm not convinced. 1. Videos doesn't show clear secondaries which would be produced in an ammo dump cookoff. 2. Destruction of so many planes hidden behind ramparts is unlikely from an explosion at ground level. It makes more sense that a warhead exploded above ground level which would allow it to hit them from above. 3. This also explains the point about the smaller than normal crater (for an ATACMS) - proximity fuse set to explode 50m (for example) above the ground. Also, my estimation is that it's a missile with a larger warhead than ATACMS. His other arguments are kinda dumb so not gonna respond to those.

Minister: Estonia, Finland to integrate coastal missile defense systems​

Finland and Estonia will integrate their coastal missile defense which would allow the countries to close the Gulf of Finland to Russian warships if necessary, Minister of Defense Hanno Pevkur (Reform) told Finnish newspaper Iltalehti.
"We need to integrate our coastal defenses. The flight range of Estonian and Finnish missiles is greater than the width of the Gulf of Finland. This means that we can connect our missile defenses and share all our information with each other," Pevkur (Reform) said in an interview during a working visit to Finland.
Estonia will buy Israeli Blue Spear land-to-sea missiles this autumn, which have a range of 290 kilometers. Finland's MTO 85M missiles have a range of over 100 kilometers.
At the Gulf of Finland's narrowest point, there are 52 kilometers of sea between the two countries and 120km at its widest.
Pevkur said the integration of missile defense systems will make it possible to close the Gulf of Finland to Russian warships.
"The Baltic Sea will be NATO's internal sea when Finland and Sweden have joined NATO. Compared with what it is today, the situation is changing," he said.

The minister also discussed securing airspace. It has been agreed upon by NATO that the Allies will secure the whole Baltic Sea region.

"For me, this is one airspace. Everyone must understand that Norway, Finland, the Baltics and other countries form NATO's eastern flank. We are not only protecting Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania or other eastern NATO countries. When we talk about NATO, the most important thing is Article 5: one for all and all for one," he said

"Finnish airspace cannot be protected if Estonian airspace is not protected at the same time, and vice versa. Fighter jets cross the 80-kilometer-wide Gulf of Finland in minutes."

Iltaleht asked if the Americans will send F-35 fighter jets to Estonia and Pevkur said the discussions about the size of the U.S.'s presence is currently being discussed.

The Estonian and Finnish defense ministers met earlier this week in Helsinki.

Ukraine received the first self-propelled guns "Zuzana" from Slovakia

Slovakia handed over the first four Zuzana self-propelled artillery mounts to Ukraine. Slovak Defense Minister Jaroslav Nagy announced this on Twitter.

The Zuzana 2 is an upgrade of the previous Zuzana in 155mm. In 2018, the Slovak army purchased 25 gun mounts. They were handed over to the army last July to replace the previous generation.

The gun mount, thanks to a barrel length of 52 caliber instead of 45, is capable of firing at a maximum distance of up to 40 km. The turret is capable of turning 360 degrees, and thanks to the automation, the number of crew members has been reduced from 4 to 3. The howitzer also has an automatic loader, which allows you to fire in MRSI mode - several shells can hit the target at the same time.

Ukraine is changing its military strategy - NYT

Ukraine changes its military strategy after receiving new long-range weapons

With New Weaponry, Ukraine Is Subtly Shifting Its War Strategy (Published 2022)

Striking deep behind enemy lines, the Ukrainians are depleting Russia’s combat potential, slowing its advance in the east and creating new vulnerabilities in the south.

www.nytimes.com

The support of partners is one of the determining factors in the upcoming victory of Ukraine over the Russians, experts say.

Ukraine has managed to change its military strategy with the help of new long-range weapons received from Western partners. With the new weapons, the country has succeeded in slowing down the advance of Russian troops. About this on Saturday, August 13, it is said in the material of The New York Times.



The publication notes that the period from spring to summer for the Ukrainian army was very difficult. Ukrainian defenders were bombarded daily by Russian artillery in eastern Ukraine, gradually losing ground and losing hundreds of fighters a day in uneven battles.

"But in recent weeks, Ukraine has changed its strategy with new weapons and succeeded, at least for the moment, in slowing down Russia's advance."

"By striking deep behind enemy lines, the Ukrainians are draining Russia's combat potential, slowing its advance in the east and creating new vulnerabilities in the south," the article says.

Experts say the new weapons have also forced Russia to reposition itself on the battlefield, giving the Ukrainian military some breathing room to make more strategic decisions.

"The new strategy is well suited for a counter-offensive on Kherson, the supply of which depends on only four bridges across the Dnieper," the publication believes.

At the same time, the publication notes that the Russian military is still strong enough to continue offensive operations.

Since the Russian military far outnumbers Ukrainian forces in terms of troops, weapons and ammunition, the Ukrainian armed forces had to be innovative and flexible.

Recall that the Russian military command has concentrated a colossal amount of resources in the Donbas, heavy fighting continues there.

The United States handed over MaxxPro armored personnel carriers to Ukraine. One of the MaxxPro armored personnel carriers did not cope with the Ukrainian off-road and was caught on video. The armored vehicle with enhanced mine protection MaxxPro of the American company Navistar was put into service on an urgent basis in the United States in 2007. The use of a serial chassis made it possible to quickly deploy the mass production of the MaxxPro armored vehicle. A fighting compartment for 6 people is installed on the chassis of the armored car, protected from below by a V-shaped plate.

I recommend to read all sub pages
"Why russians can NOT jam GMLRS missiles"

https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1532841019548520448

In short: unlike what russian propaganda and fanboys say, GMLRS rockets can't be jammed and can't be shot down. Once fired they never miss.
