Josh Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 We shall see if it’s successful. The cost requirement is ambitious, as was the desired production schedule and rate. Off the shelf the only thing that seems a close fit is powered JDAM, though perhaps some flavor of the SPEEDRACER demonstration would fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they can be effective against Russian jamming. Every single weapon thus far has basically been susceptible to it. And as you said, this will most likely be something available by next year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s far easier to supply artillery pieces to Ukraine than artillery shells. Ukraine doesn’t need as many artillery pieces as you think to keep up the tempo of operations against the Russians. The bottleneck is the actual number of shells Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soldier36 Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 TM-62 mines began to be used to storm buildings in Ukraine. The Russian army began to use TM-62 anti-tank mines in Ukraine as grenades, and several cases have already been recorded. Why is this done? This method allows you to avoid storming the building, since the mine actually destroys the building. It is worth noting that with this method of assault, the soldier himself may receive a concussion. Presumably, a hole is drilled in the TM-62 mines and a grenade fuse is inserted there, since the video shows a soldier pulling the pin from the mine.

Soldier36 Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 An episode of a battle in Ukraine, a Russian T-72 tank and an MTLB armored personnel carrier, the location of the shooting is not disclosed. The task of the T-72 tank was to cover the landing of an assault group from an MT-LB armored personnel carrier; the battle was fought with the Ukrainian 68th separate Jaeger Brigade named after Oleksa Dovbush. In the video you can see a powerful blow from a Ukrainian FPV drone on the roof of the tank, thanks to the protection of the tower, called “Mangal”, the tank withstood the drone’s attack. The decision to land a Russian assault group was canceled because intelligence reported that Ukrainian artillery was preparing to attack the landing area. The video is archival and shortened, presumably early spring, showing significant moments of the battle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soldier36 Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 The first video of the installation of Russian FAB-3000 bombs on a Su-34 aircraft has been published. The FAB-3000 bomb is equipped with a universal airborne planning and correction module. Until today, it was not known exactly which aircraft use FAB-3000 bombs with UMPC.

glenn239 Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 12 hours ago, txtree99 said: What is your source?? https://time.com/6694885/ukraine-russia-ammunition/ But Ukraine is having to ration its units to fire only 2,000 rounds a day across a 750 mi. front. Ukraine fields around 350 artillery pieces, so that in many areas of the front Ukraine has no artillery at all. The shortage of guns and shells not only reduces Ukraine’s ability to blunt Russian attacks, but also makes Ukrainian artillery more vulnerable to Russian Lancet-3M drones and counter battery fire. Russia has more than 4,000 artillery pieces in Ukraine, and is firing around 10,000 rounds a day across the front. So when a Ukrainian howitzer opens fire, it must either keep out of range of the Russian guns, limiting how much of the line it can protect, or move quickly to avoid being destroyed by the Russians firing back. Moving the guns also reduces the number of rounds that can be fired for a given mission. By contrast, the Russians can move one gun and start firing with another. This constant artillery threat makes it extremely dangerous for Ukrainian units to go on the attack, giving Russian forces more freedom to plan and concentrate units in preparation for assaults.

jmsaari Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 So Ukrainians have been unhappy with some aspects of M1 protection and welded DIY ERA racks to hold ARAT tiles at the turret sides. (15:39 onwards in video) To my amateur understanding of how ERA works, wouldn't that hinder the function when the front flyer plates are blocked free movement?
