Ukrainian fighters were overjoyed after they blew up one of Russia's deadly vacuum bomb launchers in an enormous explosion.
Vladimir Putin's war effort was once again damaged as Volodymyr Zelensky's troops destroyed another piece of Moscow's military equipment.
The Ukrainian 80th Air Assault Brigade hit a TZM-T (TOS-1 reloading vehicle) with a Stugna-P ATGM, a Ukrainian anti-tank guided missile.
Footage shows missiles being fired at a Russian TOS-1 launcher on the side of a hill before the thermobaric missile launcher explodes with a massive ball of fire and thick smoke.

I didn’t know that there were large populations of Germanophone Swiss demanding Anschluss with Germany. And I read Der Spiegel.
Russophone Latvians and Estonians don’t want unification with Russia. They know how much better off they are in a place that isn’t a corrupt satrapy. Russophone Ukrainians ( and for that matter Bosnian Serbs) have no such good fortune but are instead stuck in crooked 3d world crap holes.
What the heck is a vacuum bomb?
My whole point is that whether the people speak language X or not, can’t be used as some indicator of what country they are aligned with or want to be part of.
My money is the Mongolian empire swallowing up Putin and Mother Russia first.
The youngsters here either never learned or have forgotten how we evacuated the Japanese off Iwo and Okinawa.
Singapore-based “Defense Politics Asia” is the best OSINT mapper/analyst out there IMHO. Ignore his goofy intros. Here are the two most recent.
[ Izyum Front ] Russian forces captured Oskil and Studenok, as well as Oskil Dam

My point is to let them make a choice and not be presented with a fait accompli based on borders created by dead empires or for the convenience of live ones.
#22. Fuel Air Explosive. These were first developed and used during Vietnam. Since then more names were used to describe how they work.
“Less than 500 POWs...”
You are either a fool or ignorant, or both.
2439 surrendered. 500 is the number of Ukrainian soldiers dying per day.
Thank you for the explanation. Would you define DRP for me. I cannot find it
Million Man Math from Russia. In reality, less than 500 surrendered. Truly embarrassing for Pedo Putin.
Daily Mail, huh?
Less than 500 prisoners?
Even Western propaganda rags like the Voice of America and the Kyiv Post admitted 3 days ago the number was over 1750.
Are you not embarrassed by the ignorance you display in your propaganda BS? You could at least throw in a bit of honest reporting appearance that you know what you’re talking about I don’t occasion.
But no, you have removed all doubts. You are an ignorant fool, on this forum to display your childish, misguided and asinine lack of any common sense or knowledge of the subject matter.
Research is your friend, probably the only one you’ll ever have.
You have become one of the laughing stock of free republic, and best to be ignored.
Red Cross has the real names and numbers. Not Putin’s Million Man Math.
I know, and it makes you wonder why the people speaking Russian were being browbeaten and bullied because they were speaking Russian.
It is like, What is the big deal?
Why do you have an irrational hatred of Putin? What did he ever do to you?
Sorry
DPR
DONETSK PEOPLES REPUBLIC
separatist army and provisional govt
White armbands
Luhansk has LPR
Not sure if they wear the armbands too
Seems nearly all the fighting now is DPR and Russian support fighting uke positions in the northwest of the eastern area in dispute
That’s the concentration
They could have just killed them all
However many you and Soros and Lindsey have counted personally
That’s a great site
Yes he’s pro DPR
also staunch pro Trump
Running poll now that Trump is best ever
Wonder how that flies with Neos here
It’s not a coincidence the cold warriors here number a fair number nevertrumpers
Caveat
THERE ARE FOLKS HERE ON THAT SIDE I NORMALLY CONSIDER FELLOW TRAVELERS
WE AVOID ARGUING ABOUT IT
I PLAN TO RESPECT THAT
CANT AGREE ON EVERYTHING BUT IM HAPPY TO BE WITH THEM 95%
