Russian stuff blowing up: Ukraine reported to have hit Russian command center [1] ['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.'] Date: 2024-03-04 There isn’t a lot of information on this attack yet. Hopefully HIMARS caught a lot of senior officers napping. The 70th Guards Regiment was recently operating near Robotyne. x Today at 16:00, the Russian command center of the 70th Guards Motorized Rifle Regiment was hit in occupied Zaporizhzia by HIMARS. It is reported that many officers gathered, including the commander.

"Aside from entire aircraft, Ukrainian forces have captured critical components that would be predictable targets for research and counter-measure development. One of the widest-reported was the Sept. 2022 recovery by Ukrainian troops of an RTU 518-PSM self-protection jamming pod, a cutting edge defense system, on a crashed Su-30 fighter jet. The Su-34 and Su-35 both typically carry the pod." A Russian medic at Krynky says he doesn’t understand why the Ukrainians are so mean to Russian troops, why are they so “inhuman” and why do they have such “a vicious hatred” toward Russians. Can he really be that clueless? x A Russian paramedic in the Krynki area (occupied part of Kherson region where Ukraine has a foothold) is complaining about way too many injured Russian soldiers he has to treat.

You may remember the showdown around the only supplier of drones for the Ministry of Defence, the Sudoplatov, which later killed the operators at the training ground? The point is that a businessman from Elektrostal, who was selling plumbing fixtures before the war, proclaimed himself a GRU general and began to aggressively promote himself in the procurement structure of the Ministry of Defense. Well, who cares, if there's a result. But the autumn hype also disappeared, and the drones turned out to be of poor quality, plus the enemy released separate electronic warfare for them, incl. with spoofing - the drones began to turn over on approach. The level of shamelessness of this individual is indicated by this mailing list [a link], where they asked to to share a petition to award him the title of Hero of Russia for winning the war. And here's a small but revealing remark - both Abrams were shot down by drones of ordinary enthusiasts, the first by a "Piranha" from the Ulyanovsk assemblers, the second by a "Ghoul" from a team from Yekaterinburg. Both manufacturers are not connected to the budgets in any way; "Ghoul" is assembled entirely with public money. You may ask, why were the Abrams not struck by a drone assambles at public expense? The reason is simple - the electronic warfare suppressed it or the build quality was such that it fell on the road, I don't know. But all the drones fell when used. To me, this is sad. It seems that we are at war with an external enemy, but everything is as before - nepotism and lobbyism. Although it would seem that this is direct evidence of the need for competition to attract independent manufacturers. It would seem that independent manufacturers have confirmed their expertise by being the first in the country to knock out Abrams. But something seems to me, nothing will change. The CRV-7 is a 2.75-inch (70 mm) folding-fin ground attack rocket. These could be fired from Ukrainian helicopters. x The Canadian parliament has called for the speedy transfer of all CRV7 missiles in the Canadian Armed Forces to Ukraine. Canada has a surplus of ~83.000 CRV7 missiles that are due to be decommissioned.https://t.co/NbYo8dhL6J — NOELREPORTS 🇪🇺 🇺🇦 (@NOELreports) March 4, 2024 I suppose they can still use it in parades. x The CEO of the Russian Rostec corporation, Sergey Chemezov, has said that the T-14 Armata analog tank proved to be too expensive for the Russian war against Ukraine.
