“Here is the best-kept secret about U.S. military aid to Ukraine: Most of the money is being spent here in the United States. That’s right: Funds that lawmakers approve to arm Ukraine are not going directly to Ukraine but being used stateside to build new weapons or to replace weapons sent to replace weapons sent to Kyiv from U.S. stockpiles. Of the $68 billion in military and related assistance Congress has approved since Russia invaded Ukraine, almost 90 percent is going to Americans, one analysis found.”

Of all the vehicles to be assigned to, these guys have have huge….
The penetration by relatively simple munitions still amazes me
When a t-90 goes up after a simple drone hits it, despite what they may say has to give the other soldiers serious pause
Reminds me of a ww2 movie where the tank commander says something like we only have a couple of inches of armor and the grunt pulls at his shirt and comments about his armor
Today being in a tank is not a very healthy profession, but same still holds for grunts.
Putin is dead from cancer and the Ukrainian pilot Ghost of Kiev has bombed Moscow into submission! Dirty RuZZZZZZZians!
Wildly, sure likes to post informative and timely information
Speedy I wish you would stop posting this stuff literally forcing wildly to open and post here, after this last informative rebuttal, I am sure you will reconsider your actions, seriously ( I’m not serious lol)
I am sure world, Jon, and kazan… will likewise soon be forced here against their wills to provide content and context
Flights from Germany to Poland with military supplies and equipment for Ukraine continue to increase noticeably.
Excellent info...thanks.
They are "shape charge" bomblet, specifically designed to penetrate armor.
Here's a picture of a mk118 bomblet which was used in Vietnam and are still in service today.
These were dropped out of Mk20 Rockeye containers.

Without a doubt, the FPV drone pilots have found the tank's soft spot.
Watching your buddy go up in a big fireball must certainly be devastating.

My guess is that an Aim-9M will be able to track the heat signature of the jet engine.
500 km/h will actually make it easier for Aim-120s (NASAMs and F-16) to lock onto and kill the drone.

Ruzzian air defense shot down all the drones.
Gerasimov still MIA.
Didn’t appear in Shoigu staff meeting video today.
