Aside from the modern gear I could swear I was looking at a WW1 photo, the way these photos are compiled. It is not often we see photos from the front line like these, truly awe inspiring thank you

Because it is in many ways. Right now it's active, but slow pace conflict which is growing in technological sophistication daily. Obviously Russian resources far outstrip Ukrainian ones, but Ukrainians seems to be faster in absorption of new technologies and more flexible.

One of the most interesting and off the wall "assistance projects" that I did for Ukrainian military.

Chinese company made a good die cast and plastic semi-assembled model of Ukrainian Su-25 attack aircraft in 1:72 scale. I've noticed that the folks associated and maybe members of that unit were complaining that they don't have a model of the bird that they fly in combat. Needless to say, nobody in Ukraine heard of Hobby Master, to say nothing of being able to afford the model which cost around $100 in the US. I decided to show an initiative, and a few months later, the model has found its way to a brigade commander and is now in the Brigade HQ trophies and memorabilia cabinet.

The most thankless job in Ukrainian military, keeping 30-40-50 years old rust buckets operational.

An elite, rapid response unit, 1st Armored Brigade.

Unfortunately, no names or particulars were provided. But apparently a group of individuals from Scotland has been providing regular assistance to the Lviv military hospital.
