With the level of effort terrorists are now putting into roadside IEDs, sending soldiers to the frontlines in Toyota Hilux trucks is, at this point, tantamount to a suicide mission. This command-wire improvised explosive device (IED) was discovered by troops of the 149 Battalion buried beneath a road in Kanguri village, Borno State, while escorting a Mine Risk Group (MRG) team from Maiduguri. The team was en route to recover two trucks that had been damaged in an earlier IED blast.

AH-64 Apache Gunships Engage Insurgents Threatening Convoy – Iraq (2008) TADS/FLIR footage shows two AH-64D Apache gunships providing close air support to a convoy under fire. Insurgents are identified on elevated terrain, attempting to ambush from ridgelines and rocky cover. One Apache engages the main group while the wingman suppresses additional fighters, maintaining constant overwatch in a coordinated “racetrack” pattern. The 30mm chain gun delivers precise fire, neutralizing targets at distance. A clear example of coordinated CAS dominating the battlefield and protecting ground forces.

🇺🇦 Ukraine will no longer purchase morally obsolete M107-type 155 mm artillery shells with a range of 18 km (including domestically produced ones) and will instead prioritize modern, extended-range ERFB (Extended Range Full Bore) 155 mm artillery shells with a range of 38 km. 🔻 The information is reported by Defence Express, citing statements from representatives of the Ukrainian company “Ukrainian Armored Vehicles”. The company itself is capable of producing up to 100,000 such 155 mm artillery shells per year using its own capacities. 🔻 In the photo: ERFB-type 155 mm artillery shell. This decision marks an important step in increasing the effectiveness of Ukrainian artillery by shifting focus to longer-range munitions. Domestic production at this scale will significantly enhance Ukraine’s ability to strike deeper into enemy positions while reducing logistical pressure.
