    Nope. This article is simply analyzing performances of foreign thermal imagers.

    That helmet looks like a mock up of Isareli "Iron Vision" helmet

    Two possiblities: Either Kimarta has an autoloader (which suggest a 125mm maingun) or one crewman stays in the tank.

    Chinese 420mm ABM cannon "Avangard-1", developed in late 1960s. It has a 26 meter long barrel that lauches a 160kg RAP munition.

    To let the actual missile bypass BMD systems, because the decoy would be intercepted instead of the warhead. Decoys were commonly employed in ICBMs since the 70s.

    Might be able to find more evidence later, too bad the military portion of russianplanes.net is down.

    As we can see in the Ukrainian side of videos and photos, the registration of that first downed Su-34 is RF-95070. And from a simple search, I confirmed that RF-95070 is a Su-34 numbered "Red 06". HOWEVER, the paint job of that registration number seems wierd to me, in reality the registration number painted on tail never allianed with the "России" paint. Also Red 06's tail tip is grey, not white. For the second downed Su-34, no registration number were shown but from the patch we can confirm that it is a Su-34 from the 2nd Guards Bomber Aviation Regiment stationed in Chelyabinsk Oblast. The plane is numbered as "Red 24" (the only aircraft in this regiment that has a patch painted on side while having green+light blue camoflage I think). HOWEVER, if we look closer we will find out that the camo pattern does not match with existing photo evidences. The patch should be on the border of two different colors of the camoflage but in the wreck footage it is not. And that patch also seems too small to me... The In conclusion both "downed" Russian Su-34s might be Ukrainian propaganda.

    Then I suggest this author to review NATO's air operation in Kosovo... This whole article is based on the assumption that Ukraine has a "weak" air defence network while in fact it might be the best in Europe (exclude Russia). Seven to eight regiments of S-300PS, aound 70+ BUK-M1, 150+ Strella-10M, 100+ OSA-AKM, and about a thousand MANPADS are no joke. Its armed force is much more better equipped than Iraq and Serbia, plus it might be recieving NATO intel collected from NATO's AWACS assets loitering in Poland every single day.

    I think the reason might be that they are trying to dodge BUK-M1 and S-300's engagement envelop. In 1999 NATO forces launched nearly 400 HARMs against Serbian KUBs and only got to destroy three out of twenty two batteries. And we know that the survivalbility of BUKs are much higher than KUBs...

    What is that vehicle in the last picture? UAV control station or communication station?
  22. TINDALOS
    Couple of months maybe? I thought that thing was pretty easy to use? Or I've just played too much ArmA...

    I also suspect the missing turret era and side fuel tank fire were from different attack attempts by RPG-7 or Konkurs ATGM. Can we identify wether this T-72 is B3 variant or simply 1989 variant? Another 1989 variant I saw today was not as lucky as this one.
  24. TINDALOS
    I think these cages are actually useful against NLAWs due to NLAWs fly pattern (look closer you will find out those turret top ERAs didn't suffer much of a damage, I could be wrong), but maybe kind of useless against Javleins? Besides, I didn't see a single Javelin launch video or UKR troop carrying Javelins over the internet yet... I wonder did they ever managed to use those?
