Footage of the battle and the first defeat of the Ukrainian Leopard 1A5 tank made in Germany have been published. The battle episode was filmed in the Kupyansk area; the tank was in service with the 44th mechanized brigade of the Ukrainian Army. The tank was not directly hit; the tank was probably damaged by a nearby artillery shell explosion, after which the crew abandoned it. The German Leopard 1A5 tank is a modernization of the first Leopard-1 tank, created in 1987. The tank is very vulnerable as it has thin armor. The thickness of the frontal armor of the tank is up to 70 mm, the turret armor is up to 65 mm, the sides of the tank have armor 35-45 mm thick. Data on the first versions of Leopard 1 tanks.

Shooting and scooting helps a Caesar battery to avoid Russian counterbattery fire. To hit a Caesar battery before it rolls out, the Russians must triangulate the source of incoming shells, send a drone to spot the firing Caesars then direct their own guns to shoot back—all in 180 seconds.
It’s not for no reason that, despite refining their counterbattery tactics in advance of the Avdiivka operation, the Russian army apparently hasn’t knocked out any of the 55th Brigade’s Caesars.
Every day the 55th’s mobile howitzers are in action means more wrecked Russian vehicles and more dead Russians. Worse for the Kremlin, the Caesars apparently are firing American-made M864 cluster shells, each of which scatters 72 grenade-size bomblets.
A well-aimed volley of cluster munitions can devastate entire enemy platoons. A video of a cluster barrage targeting attacking Russians around Avdiivka on or before Monday clearly illustrates the shells’ lethal effects.

Despite the fact that the Russian Strela-10 air defense system was developed in 1974, and in 2014 it was upgraded to the Strela-10MN version of the air defense system, as it turned out, this air defense system can operate quite effectively against small-sized targets. The air defense system can operate covertly and has 8 9M333 missiles; the complex is capable of hitting targets at a range of up to 5000 meters and an altitude of 3500 meters. The 9K35M air defense missile system is valued for its simplicity and reliability. The story of a Russian operator about the effectiveness of the Strela-10MN air defense system in Ukraine.
