Russian BMPT "Terminator" appeared in Ukraine. The combat vehicle was spotted in the vicinity of the settlement of Severodonetsk. The Terminator BMPT is a tracked fire support vehicle with powerful weapons, modern fire control devices and high maneuverability. The tank support combat vehicle is designed to operate as part of tank units in order to defeat anti-tank weapons and enemy manpower.

My bad. I didn't elaborate and wording was terrible af bc I was in a hurry. Ofc those aren't regular cluster bombs. What I meant to say about incendiary and why I'm questioning the type of rounds, is because typicaly there is this distinct density and "fill" or abundance of white smoke when phosphorus is deployed versus other types of incendiary munition like with magnesium component etc, as were claimed to have been used in Syria and other conflicts, that looked more similar.
It reminded me of another video the GNL shared some weeks ago about alleged use of it during a nighttime attack, where the discussion was arguably first rased, and the same issues were pointed out against possibility of WP vs magnesium based.
About the specific type of inc, 9M28S or 9M22S. You or they might be right. I don't rlly know what was discussed. I just started doubting the phosporus story, when taking a look at the shelling. But it might be totaly wrong to remove it from the equation altogheter. Idk. It just doesn't look like def or at all WP to me.

is anyone seriously thinking that Russia knows or cares how many rounds have been through their arty? or that real maintenance, of the barrel, and the calibration of the gun to the sights, and of the sights themselves? if it goes bang when they pull the cord, they are happy.
As to sending the guidance kit for M777, the west and Ukr seem to have a plan, which seems to be working. Notice the increase in aircraft flights by Ukr?
Interesting if this rivercrossing mess was hit by excalibur rounds. If so we have moved from 1970 v 2000, into 1970 v 2010. Also noted the comment that the russians told their troops the dead tanks were ukr, and the ukr painted Z on them. I guess if your brought up not to think about stuff, you dont do much thinking.

Just How Capable Is the Ukrainian Military?
Recognizing the threat posed by Russia, Ukraine has made major investments in its military since 2014.

"Notably, Ukraine’s 140th Special Operations Forces Center successfully passed NATO certification in 2019, which allows the force to deploy as part of the NATO Response Force."
Finland and Sweden announce they want to join NATO, marking a big blow to Putin
Finland changed its policy toward the military alliance after troops invaded Ukraine. Sweden has avoided all military alliances, but like Finland, has also grown closer and closer to NATO over time.

Ukrainian artillery uses an Android application of its own design for fire control.
You are right, it is a breath of fresh air for Ukraine. The current artillery gun barrels are heavily worn. I do not think that Russia will sell Ukraine new)).

They don't compare, that wasn't the point. They do show, however, that the Netherlands does more trading with Russia than Germany does with Russia, invalidating your claim that Germany is "Russia's bankroller" in Europe.
And you think every company headquartered in Germany is purely controlled and exclusively owned by Germans? You're grasping for straws. The fact is, again, that Putin's economy makes more money in the Netherlands than it does in Germany. Or in the UK, for that matter, to name yet another country the government of which likes to point fingers. Did it ever occur to you that all that finger-pointing could serve the sole purpose of deflecting the blame?
Alright, I'm done. There's a difference between valid criticism and just running your mouth for the sake of running your mouth.

Well, it is in line with current developments. This would be accurate from what military experts like Reisner, also conclude. At least in terms of favouring more contained and realistic envelopment efforts such as April-May, compared to the wider swings like March, Dniepr goal.

The evacuation of the wounded in Azovstal is reportedly being prepared.
Not verified yet, but a group of Ukrainian parliamentarians, and an equivalent Russian group (though not specified if they were parliamentarians, and I doubt there are Russian parliamentarians anywhere near Azovstal) left in the morning to determine the route for the removal of the wounded.
update: the wounded are being evacuated, but won't transferred to either a 3rd party country or to Ukraine/Kyiv, instead they will be treated as POWs.
Numbers are 51.

Looks relatively legitimate. The casualties estimates and the number of lost vehicles don't seem unrealistic.

Which will, in the end, have very little practical consequences for Russia since Sweden and Finland both are members of the EU, thus benefiting from the "mutual assistance and solidarity" guarantees.
