This one might have been LoooSeR'd already:
 
It's strange - I'm a military gear nut in many ways, but seeing the gear in action is always chilling for me. It's way too easy to imagine the panic of those tank crewmen as they frantically looked this way and that through the tiny fields of view afforded by their optics. And then they died horribly to a vehicle that they probably only caught sight the moment before it fired at them.

Lots of frendly fire for RuAF lately 2 planes in two days shot down by own SAMs
 
First a Su-34 now it seems Su-35

Regarding the A10's übergewehr being useless against anything more heavily armoured than the caveman-era T62, I would like to point you at the following articles, from 100% correct and unbiased sources:

Mark my words, you will pay for this, Sturgeon!!!

You have seven posts, go away.

To quote myself:
 
 
Your impoliteness is uncalled for and your accusation of laziness would be better aimed at yourself.

In a discussion on an ongoing war, in which parties to the discussion are citizens of the warring nations, it really would fit you as a moderator to have an ounce more respect and grace than Eric Cartman.

The An-225 is probably unsalvageable.

There may be some hope if the wings are intact enough to be grafted on the unfinished cell of the second unit but with the fire there is no guarantee that they are still structurally sound.

Both sides do this but the US definitely has  significant  advantages over Russia in this field. I would rate US propaganda far ahead Russia's in terms of quality and general sophistication. The US is more or less in control of the largest "news" networks on earth directly and indirectly via its satellite states in Europe and elsewhere. It literally had 70 years time to perfect the art and science of propaganda, subterfuge and molding the minds of people around the world.  The Chinese are even worse than the Russians when it comes to propaganda.
 
 

I sincerely hope you said the same thing about the US, UK when they decided to invade  Iraq, bombed Syria, funded "moderate rebels" in Syria, toppled the government of Ukraine, destroyed Libya, etc. in the 21st century.
 
Just a reminder,  foreign backed regime change coups are as legal as military invasions.  They are both illegal according to international law.  The hypocrisy and double standards are mind blowing. It highlights how  conditioned / brainwashed people have become. This is absolutely surreal.
 
To be fair the US and the satellite states that participated in these actions should have been sanctioned, particularly after it was determined that they had lied to the world, repeatedly. For some "strange reason" this did not happen. Hundreds of thousands of deaths have accrued, millions of refugees and trillions of dollars in damages were generated in the past 20 years because of the actions of the US and its enablers.
 
The 2003 Iraq war and the lack of response to aggression  was a watershed moment in World history. It demonstrated that might makes right and that "international law" including the UN are worthless / pointless in the grand scheme of things.
 
The US should have been severely sanctioned  for what it did in Ukraine, let alone the other mentioned places. The regime change coup in Ukraine in 2014 was one US coup too far. If the shoe would have been on other foot, the US  would have not been thrilled if Russia or any other nation would have had the "brilliant" idea to send their version of Vicky Nuland Cookie Monster to Mexico or Canada to bring  about an Anti-US regime change right at the border of the US. If we use the Cuban/Turkey missile crisis as an example we all know what these actions could and would lead to. Neither Russia, China, or any other US rival was dumb enough to attempt this in the past 50+ years.

The backblast can be used to clear enemy infantry or for less than lethal crowd dispersion.

Thanks, that's a decent find.
 
Edit: this one of theirs might be even better as an intro:
 
 
And this one explains the issue of detection range not scaling linearly with RCS, as well as some of the other, more fiddly aspects of reducing cross-section:
