Atrocious signature management.

The UK has announced a new £61 million contract with BAE Systems to produce artillery gun barrels for Ukraine. 

The deal will kickstart UK gun barrel production for the first time in 20 years at Sheffield Forgemasters (off the M1 in Sheffield, Yorkshire).

Ukraine is building battleships now?    This looks like something straight out of Vickers circa 1906.

   By the way another video from the same guy (Sergey "Flash") - he is showing how fiberFPV fiber is looking like when on the ground https://t.me/milinfolive/140106

Do they have enough of these that they can systematically go into the buildings and hunt for Ukrainian troops within entire blocks or towns, or are numbers limited enough that they need to know where the existing positions are and then send in the fiber optic hunters?

As far as i understand, price of fiberFPV is about 2x price of "regular" FPV (it is not massively expencive, taking into account total immunity to EV resyulting in higher rate of successful hits). The main limiting factor is availability of enough FPV teams near front line. But i may be wrong.

(from the Russian side)

1 - New straightened route to Mariupol
2 – Donetsk-Gl. – Yasinovataya section restored 2-3 months ago with an exit to Debaltseve
3 – The main line to Mariupol, which could not be used before the “Ugledar balcony” was broken. Now – it is possible

(from the Ukrainian side)
4 – The Dnepropetrovsk – Pokrovsk – Donetsk route has been cut off
5 – Trains no longer run to Konstantinovka
6 – The road junction near Krasny Liman is also no longer operating

Israel is in talks with Ukraine about the supply of trophy weapons to Ukraine. Although Israel captured a lot of war materiel across all 1st circle fronts, the vast majority comes from Hezbollah, and that also happens to be proper serially manufactured, high quality weapons. Often directly sourced from Russia.

110th Brigade on Velyka Novosilka: Plenty of firepower, but no troops

"Compared to Avdiivka, the reasons for losing territory are different. In Avdiivka, there was a shortage of artillery rounds, and FPV drones were just starting to develop, but infantry was still present. Back then, the absence of artillery was made up for by the troops. Now, however, there is enough artillery and drones, but there are not enough soldiers to fight. There is a complete shortage of personnel in the infantry units."

Details: The soldiers said that a typical Russian assault operation involves several groups of 4–6 individuals attacking Ukrainian positions from different directions. The most intense activity occurs at dawn, when reduced visibility due to fog or rain makes aerial reconnaissance more challenging. The Russians frequently move through wooded areas, using the vegetation to shield themselves from FPV drones.

Quote: "Hitting a moving target with artillery is extremely difficult, and in such cases, cluster munitions are somewhat effective. Targeting FPV drones in a grove is challenging due to the radio horizon and the branches that obstruct accurate hits. Moreover, enemy groups now often include soldiers with automatic shotguns, and they are able to shoot down our drones."

The M-55S tanks, which Slovenia transferred to Ukraine back in 2022, are being transferred from one unit to another. For more than two years, they have appeared in several combat brigades without taking a significant part in combat operations.

I kind of lost track of the NK issue: did we finally decide that yes, in fact Norks are actually present and involved in the fighting?

"Despite the fact that these are clearly not modern vehicles, they generally fully correspond to the tasks assigned to tanks in the current realities, with drones, the absence of tank-to-ank battles, etc."

Any actual evidence to confirm the claims or that is a religion so it needs no evidence?

What evidence would satisfy you? Count the bodies your self?

Same level of evidence you would require if I said that active members of the various NATO militaries are fighting in Ukraine.

Which they probably are, but that's another matter 😎

Instead of tanks, infantry that does not exist. The armored crisis of Ukraine

Although Ukraine's main problem today is the lack of trained and generally available infantry soldiers, Kiev is increasingly suffering from the lack of an adequate number of armored vehicles. Paradoxically, this worsens the already bad situation of Ukrainian soldiers on the front.

Ukraine lacks armored weapons, which worsens the situation on the front and leads to losses among the infantry;
Simple equipment reserves are already exhausted;
Tanks are highly desirable in defensive operations;

I was watching one report the other day, claiming the Ukrainians actually seem to be using Leopard 2's as its intended to be used instead of a mobile pillbox. This was in Kursk I think.

You mean like this:

The UK is among a number of countries with military special forces operating inside Ukraine, according to one of dozens of documents leaked online.

I think that for debate purpose we could safely assume there are NK troops in Russia, and focus on the meanig of this presence (and meaning of the fact this presence is not hard-proven up till now, that is remarkable)

Let me remind by old post on this
