    Iranian Vasilek?

    First photos of Ukrainean Neptum ASM installled on Tatra chassis (replacement of KrAZ which seems to have gone bankrupt). The system may be ordered as well by Indonesia according to some sources.

    Taliban captured 9th provincial capital (Fayzabad) and also two military airports (Kunduz and Sheberghan) with plenty of machinery including several (some possibly working) helicopters, among them at least one Mi-24V (ex-Belarus, ex-India). There are rumors some pilot(s) defected. Several other major cities are being fought for (Laskar Gah, Kandahar, Ghazni, Mazar-i-Sharif, Herat)

    Why not to test the heaviest possible configuration? I mean Trophy or TUSK equipped vehicles are heavier than this one.

    A policeman in Doksy, Czechia, caught (by hand) a small drone flying next to his head over a parking lot. It turned out that the drone was carrying a bag of meth (photo under the link) https://www.idnes.cz/liberec/zpravy/drogy-dron-doksy-policie-straznik-pervitin-dealer.A210810_094205_liberec-zpravy_lav

    Czech army recently received first 65 Land Cruisers (of 1200 ordered 500 will be supplied this year) to replace ancient UAZ and somewhat never but still old Land Rovers as a general utility vehicle.

    Taliban keeps steamroling through Afghanistan capturing 8 province capital cities in some 5 days. Oryx keeps track on visually confirmed losses of ANA machinery. In some two months... 10 helicopters, 11 tanks, 681 HMMWV (!), 745 Ford Ranger, 292 Navistar 7000, 38 M1117, 6 MaxxPro, 32 D-30 howitzers and plenty of other stuff. https://www.oryxspioenkop.com/2021/06/disaster-at-hand-documenting-afghan.html

    I would expect India to send well equipped soldiers for an excercise abroad but these are equipped like in 1980'.

    TBH it looks like one of the design requirements was as high center of gravity as possible.

    It could have been shot down also by SAA. There is this footage from Aleppo area from the very same day. Pro-SAA sources first claimed it was TAI Anka, later switched to MQ-4C Triton (WTF?) but no wreckage was shown.

    What is the reason for the divided tracks?

    Alleged exploding TOS-1A of the Azeri army. Massive fireworks... and a launch of Azeri Lora.

    The up-armored front is also interesting when normal BMD-4M don't have it.

    Another T-90S destroyed during the conflict.

    Czech army held recently an interesting excercise using Vera-NG passive tracking systems. The excercise focused on tracking systems using continuous wave communication signals. According to military spokesman the system was able to detect and track various UAS up to micro-sized drones at ranges of dozens of kilometers through the whole flight right from the take-off. The system was able to distinguish two UAS flying side by side as well. They say they also proved to be able to detect and track various other signal sources such as Tahles Squire battlefield surveilance radar or Mi-171Š radio altimeter. https://www.czdefence.cz/clanek/ceska-armada-rozsiruje-sve-schopnosti-v-detekci-bezpilotnich-prostredku

    Of all the western tanks only Leclerc has bustle autoloader.

    The time schedule seems to be impossible to me. I read elsewhere that there is an internal bay for 3x RVV-SD (or 2 AGM/bombs) and two small internal bays for one RVV-MD each and that the target running cost is on Gripen level, i.e. super cheap. Can you confirm?

    A new detail about Czech Spyder acquisition. The number of batteries is four as already announced but now we know that each battery is going to have three Python-5 launchers and one Derby launcher together with one Elta EL/M-2084 radar. The complete system will be mounted on Tatra 815-7 vehicles but that's hardly a surprise (moreover when Spyder was already addapted for Tatra chassis in India).

    One more video from Czech IFV trials.

    It won't take less than ten-fifteen years before it will be operational.

    Actually it's also a message to Germany.

    Not only that. Besides the unit rotations the US Army is also building an Army Prepositioned Stock-2 in Powidz in central Poland (next to a Polish AF transport airbase). This storrage base shall permanently house 82 Abrams, 130 Bradley and 16 Paladins.
