📣 Well, it looks to be over. 📣
Tonight, without any prior announcements, Twitter has disabled any access to tweets withot login. This means that the bot can't retrieve the data anymore, so I am shutting it down.
I'll keep the channels, but there will be no updates unless Twitter reverses its decision or I will find a way to bypass this limitation (which is unlikely).
It's very ironic and sad to see how two big platforms, Twitter and Reddit, go down the closure pass simultaneousely.
Thank you for staying here for all this time.
(#) #Ukraine: "If at first you don't succeed" When a Russian T-62MV repurposed as a crude VBIED was disabled by an AT mine yet drone-dropped munitions failed to destroy it, Ukrainians used an FPV loitering munition instead- to extremely explosive effect.
Читать полностью…(#) #Ukraine: The Ukrainian forces continue to receive Serbian 🇷🇸 ammunition - this time M62P10 120mm HE-frag mortar bombs were spotted in thehands of Ukrainian troops.
These particular ones were produced in 2023 (!) by the state-owned Krušik company located in Valjevo.
(#) Kriegsforscher: Our company using FPV drones managed to destroy Russian BMP-2 (not only this one, U will see more).
Our folks used 3 drones: firstly they made this BMP immobile and then destroyed.
Average price of one FPV — 350$. The price of BMP-2 — 300 K$.
(#) #Ukraine: 🇵🇱Polish-donated PT-91 "Twardy" tanks in service with the new Ukrainian 22nd Mechanized Brigade.
In total Poland committed to transfer 60 of these modernized T-72 platforms this year.
(#) #Ukraine: On the left bank of the Dnipro River, just outside Oleshky, #Kherson Oblast, a Russian BMD-2 airborne IFV was destroyed after running into AT mines- likely remotely deployed by Ukrainian forces, or even placed by Russian forces.

Читать полностью…(#) #Russia: A Russian Ka-52 attack helicopter (72 Yellow, RF-13418) was reportedly shot down by Wagner forces near Talovaya, #Voronezh Oblast.
The crew was killed.
(#) #Russia: A helicopter (presumably Mi-8MTPR-1) of the Russian Ministry of Defense was shot down by Wagner forces today in #Voronezh Oblast.
Two of these electronic warfare helicopters were reportedly shot down in total.

Читать полностью…(#) #Ukraine: A Russian 2S19 Msta-S 152mm self-propelled howitzer was destroyed by the Ukrainian army in #Zaporizhzhia Oblast, as claimed on June 10th.
The SPH suffered a catastrophic ammo detonation tearing it apart.
(#) #Ukraine: A Russian tank was destroyed by the 128th Mountain Assault Brigade using a Stugna-P anti-tank guided missile in Zherebyanky, #Zaporizhzhia Oblast.
Читать полностью…(#) #Ukraine: A Russian Ka-52 attack helicopter recently received major damage, presumably from a MANPADS strike.
Although the tail was blown off, this type doesn't have a tail rotor as it uses a coaxial contra-rotating rotor system- so the aircraft made it back to base.
(#) #Ukraine: A "unique" Russian vehicle was targeted by FPV loitering munitions of the Ukrainian 72nd Mechanized Brigade near Vuhledar, #Donetsk Oblast- a BTR-80 with a couple of 57mm UB-32 unguided aircraft rocket pods was damaged by two FPV drones.
Читать полностью…(#) #Ukraine: A Russian T-62M tank drove over a quite obvious row of TM-62 anti-tank mines near Bakhmut, #Donetsk Oblast.
Appears that all the crew survived, although they probably had quite a bad day.
(#) #Ukraine: The remains of a 🇬🇧UK-supplied Storm Shadow cruise missile used by the Ukrainian Air Force to strike the Berdyansk airfield today. This particular missile didn't hit its target.
If this was shot down by Russian air defense systems, it would be the first known example.
(#) #Ukraine: The Ukrainian SBU "Alpha" destroyed two Russian tanks and damaged another T-80BV tank during recent fighting- including the use of FPV loitering munitions.

Читать полностью…(#) #Ukraine:A Ukrainian CAESAR 155mm self-propelled howitzer was destroyed by a Russian Lancet loitering munition in #Zaporizhzhia Oblast. The driver avoided the first drone, flipping over the SPH, but the second one managed to hit it later leading to the destruction of the vehicle.
Читать полностью…(#) #Ukraine: In Tavriya, #Zaporizhzhia Oblast, the Ukrainian 128th Mountain Assault Brigade hit a Russian ISDM Zemledeliye remote mine-laying system with an artillery strike- fragments penetrated the launching assembly, igniting the rockets onboard.
Читать полностью…(#) #Ukraine: A Ukrainian M-ATV MRAP vehicle was captured and recovered by Russian forces in Novodonetske, #Donetsk Oblast.
The vehicle was abandoned there previously this month.
(#) #Ukraine: A Russian Ka-52 attack helicopter recently received considerable damage, presumably from a MANPADS strike.
Although the tail was blown off, this type doesn't have a tail rotor as it uses a coaxial contra-rotating rotor system- so the aircraft made it back to base.
(#) #Ukraine: A Russian 2S4 Tyulpan 240mm self-propelled mortar was destroyed by BONUS/SMArt 155 artillery-delivered top-attack submunitions fired by the Ukrainian 26th Artillery Brigade in the vicinity of Bakhmut, #Donetsk Oblast.
