Famous Ukrainian activist Roman Ratushnyy was killed in the Izium battle.
The best of us dies. Famous 🇺🇦activist Roman Ratushnyy was killed in the Izium battle. Roma was THAT 17 year old student beaten in the Maidan, which led to the Revolution of Dignity. He saved his neighbourhood park in Kyiv from real estate builders. It should not be his memorial pic.twitter.com/VyZLOjcdzN

Tracked Boxer & Boxer image sporting identical Infantry Carrier Vehicle modules
Hard pass on the tracked Boxer. But the idea that this idea was revitalized after GD tried it with the Stryker is curious. Is there a problem with the mobility of wheeled vehicles that is showing us that we're evolving back to tracks? Is this wheeled IFV thing just a fad? Did it go the way of the dodo bird with a rethinking of urban combat?Tracked Boxer & Boxer image sporting identical Infantry Carrier Vehicle modules. Mechanised and FV432 Infantry.

Note where the Tracked chassis is wider, tackling track ratio and adding protection. Potential for storage or very heavy appliqué.
Also, AFV's look better in Green 😉 pic.twitter.com/Ni4V0zhpMr

Interesting Tank...
Interesting vehicle. One thing disturbs. Why would you place a UAV operator on a frontline fighting vehicle? Seems like a waste. The crew is having to fight the vehicle. Operating a UAV should be done at the battalion level. Network the thing, put a mast on it if you must (with a tethered UAV if you need to see that far out), but fight the vehicle and get info from other sensors. Besides if you're getting targeting data from your UAV then its probably outside the range of your main gun so it'll be killed by other assets anyway.Brilliant idea to have 4 crew in an auto loader tank. Make the 4th guy a video gamer type with lots of controls for gadgets and remote everything. Uav/ counter uav operator https://t.co/47Qktvl7YQ

A Judgment Day Is Coming for Zelensky
Zelenskyy could, today, concede Donbas and open negotiations and tomorrow be out of office.

Zelensky was rocketed to extreme heights and will be, in the end, the fall guy for a failed response to Ukraine.That could change, Ukrainian resistance could collapse or something and it might change the calculus. But I don't think that's likely. I think we're in for a long war
