MRAPs with low cost direct fire and missile interceptors (along with lasers) are a nearly ideal ground based counter to flying bombs. I suspect this kind of vehicle will massively proliferate and be a major player in reducing the effectiveness of flying bombs/shaheds.

The Pechenihy reservoir plays a major role in supplying water to Kharkiv and surrounding settlements.

ENG below⏬ ⚡️⚡️Ракети SCALP вдарили по місцю зберігання ударних БпЛА

У рамках зниження наступального потенціалу російського агресора вчора та у ніч на 14 квітня підрозділи Сил оборони України завдали уражень по низці важливих об'єктів.

⚡️Так, наші воїни били по місцях зберігання ударних безпілотних літальних апаратів у районі аеропорту “Донецьк” на ТОТ Донецької області.

Удару завдано підрозділами Повітряних Сил Збройних Сил України із застосуванням крилатих ракет SCALP та керованих авіаційних бомб GBU-39.

⚡️Ударними українськими БпЛА уражено склади боєприпасів противника в районах населених пунктів Азовське Запорізької області, Урзуф та Куликівське Донецької області.

Втрати противника та масштаби завданих збитків уточнюються.

💪 Сили оборони України продовжать вживати заходів для зниження наступального потенціалу російських окупантів і припинення збройної агресії рф проти України.

Далі буде! 💥 Слава Україні! 🇺🇦

⚡️⚡️ SCALP Missiles Strike UAV Storage Site

As part of efforts to reduce the offensive capabilities of the Russian aggressor, yesterday and during the night of April 14, units of the Ukrainian Defense Forces carried out strikes on a number of key targets.

⚡️ In particular, our forces targeted storage facilities for strike unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) near Donetsk Airport in the temporarily occupied territory of the Donetsk region.

The strike was carried out by units of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine using SCALP cruise missiles and GBU-39 guided aerial bombs.

⚡️ Ukrainian strike UAVs also hit enemy ammunition depots in the areas of Azovske (Zaporizhzhia region), as well as Urzuf and Kulykivske (Donetsk region).

Enemy losses and the extent of the damage are currently being assessed.

💪 The Defense Forces of Ukraine will continue taking measures to reduce the offensive capabilities of the Russian occupiers and to stop the armed aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine.

To be continued! 💥 Glory to Ukraine! 🇺🇦

"If someone says this — no matter how long Fidesz politicians have said similar things — you should ask them what would happen if Russia attacked Hungary: which Hungarian county would they give up?" Peter Magyar said in response to a question from a Kyiv Independent reporter.

Hit on the ammonia production of the "Cherepovets-Azot" plant on April 13, 2026

According to the video, published online, it can be confirmed that there is black smoke from the burning in two (Ammonia-1 marked in yellow, Ammonia-2 marked in blue) of the three ammonia workshops with a total capacity of 900 thousand tons per year. It is also reported about a possible hit on the ammonia storage of these workshops (marked in red), which, after the start of a full-scale invasion, was additionally protected by a special metal structure to protect against drone strikes.

The affected production provides about 6% of ammonia production in Russia, and the plant as a whole accounts for approximately 10% of all ammonia production.

Video recommended for viewing.

Unlike many Western counterparts, the BTR-4 Bucephalus is fully amphibious in its standard configuration, the Ukrainian MoD states. The vehicle is equipped with two waterjet propulsors at the rear, enabling speeds of up to 10 km/h in water.

The transition to amphibious mode described as “rapid” – requiring checks that hatches are sealed and fitting the air intake snorkels.

What really differentiates russian and Ukrainian design lineage armored vehicles is an emphasis on practical organic amphibious capability. If you compare the armor of these vehicles to most "western" armor the comparisons aren't favorable until you include the context of extremely good amphibious capability.

There is a reason most russians ride on top of their equivalent wheeled and tracked APCs, the armor is a deathtrap pressure cooker waiting to be detonated by a drone or ATGM.

Somewhat counterintuitively though for a land army advancing over a vast terrain in the end the ability to cross wetlands and rivers in unpredictable places is almost as useful as having thicker armor. Or that was how the theory is supposed to go.

Not sure the armor is thick enough on these designs, but I imagine the slat armor upgrades address that so long as they don't overload the engine and negate the amphibious capability.

Units of the DIU launched carrier rockets from Ukrainian territory into space twice during the full-scale war. Technical equipment recorded altitudes of over 100 and 204 kilometers.

This was reported by Fedir Venislavskyi, a member of parliament and member of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on National Security, Defense, and Intelligence, in an interview with RBC-Ukraine, when answering a question regarding Ukraine’s ability to shoot down Russian Oreshnik missiles.

I’ve been reporting from Kherson since February 2023.

I was there soon after the city was first liberated. Back then, the threat felt distant. Russian forces had retreated across the river, blowing the bridges behind them. There was destruction, but there was also relief. People were coming back. Life was trying to restart.

Over the past three years, I’ve watched that change.

Kherson has become something else entirely. A city under constant pressure. A city where the front line isn’t visible, but it’s everywhere.

This trip was different.

I was given rare access to the 34th Marine Brigade operating in Antonivka, one of the most dangerous areas in Kherson, right on the edge of the river, just hundreds of meters from Russian positions. I joined them on patrol as they hunted drones.

At the same time, I spent days moving through the city, documenting what daily life looks like now under relentless bombardment.

The scale has changed dramatically.

Last year, at the peak, Kherson saw around 330 attacks in a single day. Just days ago, that number exceeded 600 in 24 hours. The intensity has doubled. The tactics have evolved. New types of drones, faster strikes, constant surveillance from above.

And yet, there is almost no international coverage of what is happening here.

This film is an attempt to show that reality as honestly and as closely as possible.

I left the (stupid) clickbait title, but appended that it's a report from Kherson to make the title useful. 😬 Unless you know the person and their reports, the title doesn't say anything without it. At least the description does. It's a valuable frontline report either way, from a great journalist.

Three of the new advanced Pantsir systems being used to defend Putin's compound.

Su outa luck

Also not that I am concerned for russia's strength here but russia going to war with Ukraine and refusing to back down even after devastating losses sealed the fate of this design lineage of aircraft.

The Su-57 was never the future of manned air dominance fighter design, the capabilities it focuses on were from the outset poorly optimized for the actual challenges of sophisticated near pear air warfare faced nowadays.

The Su-57 could have had a future in influencing future unmanned designs, and it likely will but that future will be limited and weak precisely because russia refused to back down from their illegal invasion of and war with Ukraine.

Endless offensive wars make you weak not strong.
