Live Conflict Ukraine-Russia War

[Soldier30]

Footage from an archival battle filmed in November 2024 near the village of Zeleny Shlyakh in the Kursk region of Russia. In the video, two BMD-4M airborne combat vehicles of the 137th Guards Airborne Regiment of Russia break through to a Ukrainian army stronghold located in a forest belt. It is worth noting that there is very little video of the combat use of the BMD-4M. The BMD-4M has been produced since 2015. During the forced march, the BMD-4M is actively fired upon by Ukrainian artillery. Upon reaching the stronghold, the BMD-4M disembark the troops and return to their original positions. The battle at the stronghold itself is not shown; it is reported that it was captured.

Ukraine is continuing to lose more territory everyday
Sadly, the end is near with nearly all options looking grim for the Ukrainians
Either to continue the war and lose more territory or sign the ceasefire and give legitimacy to Russian annexation of Ukrainian lands

Despite the ongoing fighting in the Kursk region, the Russian army has begun to remove abandoned military equipment from the Ukrainian army. There is quite a lot of equipment, we are publishing some footage of it. Some of the captured equipment was destroyed, some was damaged, some are fully operational. For example, two abandoned Ukrainian M2A2 Bradley ODS-SA and an HMMWV armored vehicle with a mileage of 14 thousand kilometers are operational. The HMMWV armored vehicle even had fuel, and is already being used by Russian units. The video also shows an abandoned Ukrainian Aqaba Petra Hunter APC armored vehicle with electronic warfare systems, an International MaxxPro armored personnel carrier, an IMR-2 engineering vehicle, an M1A1 SA Abrams tank, and other military equipment. The captured armored vehicles are sent for study, to firing ranges, to exhibitions, and to some combat units.

Germany's plan to exclude defense spending and foreign military aid from their "debt brake" policy has cleared it's final hurdle today, as the upper house in parliament approved the plan.

Germany immediately confirmed the 2025 $3.3 Billion usd increase for aid to Ukraine, bringing total military aid planned to $7.5 Billion for this fiscal year.

Germany's parliament backs incoming leader's plans for huge boost in defense spending, but can he deliver?

Under pressure from Trump and with Russia menacing, Germany's incoming leader plans to revamp the country's defense posture. Can he deliver?

The end is not necessarily near. Europe will continue to support Ukraine with weapons and money. Even if they face setbacks in the war for a while, there will come a time when the power balance will reverse again in their favor. Once Europe gears up into fighting mode, there is nothing Russia can do to keep up. Europe is simply way wealthier and more technologically advanced than Russia.

The UK announced today that they are ordering 5000 NLAW anti-tank missiles for Ukraine from defense manufacturer Thales. The missiles will be built in Northern Ireland at two Thales facilities.

Deliveries will start in the coming weeks and will be staggered out for approximately 2 years. That equates to approximately 200 units per month.

Russia will just move further East. Can Europe out production Asia?

Russia will just move further East. Can Europe out production Asia?

Of course they can. They have everything for this - money, educated people, excellent technology. But the main thing is missing - will. All these 35 years they thought that if they are so good, then no one will attack them
They hoped for the USA. And then one day Trump came and said: we are leaving, defend yourself. And they cried from resentment, like children
All these European, so to speak, leaders, with rare exceptions, in the current situation are worthless chatterboxes. During the war, I would not trust them to even command a platoon, let alone an army.

I remember in the Netherlands there was no prime minister for several years. And nothing terrible happened, everything was fine, the society was so developed that it did not need a leader. It's like self-regulation. Therefore, there was no need for a leader. And in such wonderful countries such, so to speak, "leaders" appear

The first use of Russian lasers against Ukrainian army drones. The Russian army has published footage of mobile groups working to combat Ukrainian UAVs. The servicemen are armed with small arms with thermal imagers; it is worth noting that Ukraine has similar groups. More interestingly, the Russian army is using new air defense systems, including lasers; the authors did not report which systems. The video suggests that the new Russian SKVP air defense system is being used; it was tested in the Moscow region, or the Pantsir-SMD-E air defense system. The video shows a radar used in both air defense systems. It is also clear that missiles are being launched to destroy drones. A review of both air defense systems is available on the channel. The video shows that the air defense can detect small targets with an RCS of 0.05. Laser air defense is more interesting; the video shows a laser burning through a Ukrainian drone, after which it falls. It is not yet clear what kind of lasers the Russian army is using. The air defense system interface resembles the control program for Chinese Silent Hunter combat lasers. Saudi Arabia previously purchased them to combat drones. It is possible that the Russian army simply adapted the software for Russian lasers. Over time, the information will most likely be made public. The downed Ukrainian drones are shown at the end of the video.

The Russian Su-34NVO fighter-bomber was able to make an emergency landing "on the fuselage" for the first time in history. Before this, the Su-34 dropped FAB aerial bombs in the border area of the Kursk region of Russia. The aircraft's hydraulic landing gear release system probably failed. It was reported that the aircraft was being flown by young pilots, they could have ejected, but decided to land the plane. The pilots "shot off" the cockpit window in advance so that they could quickly leave the aircraft after landing, since the lower exit was blocked.

The Russian Antagonist group, which uses FPV drones controlled via fiber optic cable, showed the pursuit and attack of drones on a Ukrainian BTR-80. The video was filmed in the Kupyansk direction. The BTR-80 was first produced in the USSR in 1984, and is also used by the Russian army. Despite the fact that the BTR-80 was developed a long time ago, three FPV drones were needed to destroy the combat vehicle. The "Mangal" installed on the BTR, which protects the combat vehicle from drones, also played a role in this. As a result of three attacks by Russian FPV drones, the Ukrainian BTR-80 was destroyed by a fire that started. The fate of the crew is unknown

Ukrainian media published footage of a strike by Ukrainian HIMARS rockets on a group of Russian Ka-52 and Mi-8 helicopters in the Belgorod region. If the video is real, and such footage is easy to fake these days, the helicopters were refueling and being serviced. There are some strange moments in the video, it is cut off, there is no result of the strikes, the shooting location is not reported, the coordinates are blurred. The video shows the explosion of GMLRS M30A2 rockets next to three helicopters, with one helicopter very close. Another strange moment, after a direct hit on the helicopter, in slow motion footage, which shows another missile strike. The helicopter previously destroyed by the missile is not on fire. With a direct hit by a missile, the helicopter should burn. If the video is real, then one helicopter should be destroyed, the second is heavily damaged, the other two are lightly damaged. Let me remind you that the Ka-52s are armored.
