(#) #Ukraine: A rare look at 🇺🇸US-supplied APKWS laser-guided rockets (modified Hydra 70) and their launch platform in use with the Ukrainian Army- we can see the Arnold Defense LAND-LGR4 launcher installed on a HMMWV M1152A1 chassis.

(#) It is worth mentioning that 20 70mm launchers with an unknown amount of laser-guided rockets were also donated by Germany 🇩🇪 - however they, as stated, are mounted on pick-up trucks.

(#) #Ukraine: Today, reports suggested that a Russian Kh-47M2 Khinzal air-launched ballistic missile was shot down by air defences over #Kyiv at 02:40 on May 4th- for the very first time.

The debris matches the unitary warhead assembly used in Kh-47M2 & Iskander-series missiles.

(#) Further imagery is required to fully confirm the type of the missile - but both Iskander and Kinzhal are ballistic missiles which are regarded as extremely difficult to intercept; except by modern Western AD systems that are entering service in Ukraine.

🇺🇦 Ukraine Weapons Tracker: #Ukraine: It appears that the Ukrainian army started to use Iranian-made artillery ammunition - in a video from Ukraine we identified Iranian 🇮🇷 OF-462 122mm projectiles.
Though some Iranian weapons were already observed, this case is worth paying attention and we will tell why:

​(#) @blueboy1969 Despite the denials by the UAF (& conflicting information, as they pointed users to the site that released wreckage images just this morning t.me/kpszsu/2501), we are confident in our ID. Possible that the UAF just don't want to reveal capabilities.twitter.com/newsopini/stat…
Oleksii Yarmolenko: @GloOouD Hello. I want to clarify the situation a little. This is the comment BEFORE the Kinzhal information, but it appears as a comment AFTER.

This is not a fake. But the Air Force didn't want to advertise it so that Russia would not know about it.

(#) #Ukraine:Ukrainian Su-25 close air support jets started to operate 🇺🇸 Zuni 5" unguided rockets- in this case they appear to be Zuni variants with Mk 24 HE general-purpose warheads packing 4.3kg of Comp B.

Compared to the analogous Soviet S-13 rockets, Zuni have a superior range.

(#) Though the range here is not the main point of these deliveries- S-13, unlike less powerful S-8, is practically not manufactured anywhere except Russia, making a stable supply of Soviet unguided rockets of higher caliber extremely difficult.
