A battle with a "Leopard" A German tank, in a carefully camouflaged hiding place, was destroyed on the outskirts of Konstantinovka. The enemy vehicle was spotted by an FPV drone operator from the 6th Motor Rifle Division's BpS unit of the "South" troop group. The first strike helped to unambiguously identify the combat vehicle by exposing the corresponding "German" elements, and after that, our fighters could not be stopped. Strike after strike, and the small FPVs finally destroyed the tank completely.

"We Were Drowning In Blood And Hydraulic Fluid" Official Preview Of Episode 41 With The Lionheart Crew The “Lionheart” tank crew was a four-man United States Marine Corps team from Charlie Company, 4th Tank Battalion, 4th Marine Division, Augmented to Alpha Company 1st Tanks deployed to Al Anbar Province, Iraq during Operation Iraqi Freedom. On May 8, 2005, Mothers Day, their M1A1 Abrams tank, callsign Lionheart, was struck by a massive improvised explosive device (IED). The blast was catastrophic, completely destroying the tank and marking the first Abrams tank lost to an IED during Operation Iraqi Freedom. Against all odds, every member of the Lionheart crew survived. This is a story about modern armored warfare, the evolving threat of IEDs, and the resilience, training, and brotherhood of U.S. Marines operating in one of the most dangerous combat environments of the Iraq War. It’s also a reminder of the thin line between life and death in combat and the warriors who continue the mission, even after surviving what should have been impossible. Their Names Are: Staff Sergeant Chad Brumpton – Tank commander Lance Corporal Joseph Lowe -- Gunner Lance Corporal Mitch Ehlke – Loader Lance Corporal Fernando Lazalde (later Sergeant) – Driver

The video shows the trials of the VT-1-1, a turretless tank with 2 x 105 mm guns, firing on the move at the Putlos training ground in 1976. The casemate (turretless) tank, designed for combat while moving, was introduced in Germany in the mid-1970s as a twin-gun casemate tank (the Soviet term for a "turretless tank"). For practical firing tests in the "target pass" mode, two prototypes were built in the mid-1970s. The first prototype, VT 1-1, was armed with two 105 mm guns, while the second, VT 1-2, was equipped with two 120 mm smoothbore guns. Additionally, the VT 1-2 featured a functioning autoloader behind one of the guns, with a firing rate of 10 rounds per minute. The vehicles were developed as part of the KPz 3 or Leopard 3 project. In both prototypes, the main guns were semi-fixed (with aiming and stabilization only in elevation). The chassis solutions were derived from the KPz 70 (MBT 70) program, with the running gear shortened by one road wheel (five road wheels per side). The vehicles weighed 36.8 and 43.5 tons, respectively, with a chassis rotation speed of 60 degrees per second. To achieve high maneuverability on rough terrain, 12-cylinder diesel engines from the MB 873 series with enhanced power were used, equipped with four turbochargers: 2000 hp for VT 1-1 and 2200 hp for VT 1-2. This provided an impressive power-to-weight ratio of 54 and 50 hp/ton, respectively, with acceleration to 55 km/h in 11 seconds, though only in a temporary "turbo" mode, as the standard power was 1600 hp. The accuracy of firing with two guns was unmatched by single-gun tanks, as confirmed by the tests. However, due to the novel combat approach, this revolutionary tank concept was rejected by the customer after trials in favor of the conventionally designed Leopard 2. In essence, although the project was developed as the Leopard 3, a tank for the future, it was, in reality, a parallel project and a potential competitor to the Leopard 2. Achieving the firepower, protection, and mobility of the Leopard 3 within reasonable weight limits was impossible with a conventional layout. At the same time, a significant tactical drawback of the casemate concept (including twin-gun casemate vehicles) is the linkage between the direction of fire and the direction of movement, which in many cases could complicate unit and formation control (according to German experts in the 1970s). Moreover, the VT 1-1 and VT 1-2 can hardly be considered balanced vehicles—they could have been simpler. The vehicles' mobility was exaggerated, with the main engine, transmission, auxiliary engine, batteries, and other systems occupying two-thirds of the vehicle's length. Pros and Cons of VT 1-1 and VT 1-2: Considering the key challenges, the twin-gun casemate concept can be evaluated as follows: Pros: Compact design due to a small internal volume. Two guns provide high firepower and hit probability. Cons: The weight advantage of the casemate design is largely offset by the integration of a second gun. Fire control alone results in high complexity, leading to increased maintenance costs and overall expenses. In 1975/76, five Gefechtsfeldversuchträger (GVT, combat test platforms) were developed and built for further mobility and concept trials. These were smaller than the VT 1-1 and VT 1-2, weighing 30 tons. The GVT 01-05 were equipped only with mock-up guns and laser firing simulators (TALLISSI) and telemetry systems, built using chassis components from the Leopard 1. The GVTs were used at the IABG facility in Lichtenau and the tank training school in Munster to test the twin-gun turretless tank concept in realistic exercise conditions, which is why five vehicles were built. However, the Leopard 2 was already in production, and tank crews showed little enthusiasm for this unconventional vehicle requiring a new approach.

⚡️🇷🇺🛠 A new video has surfaced showing the replacement of a T-72 tank gun barrel in field conditions. Tank crews from the Alexander Nevsky Brigade carried out a scheduled replacement of gun barrels on their active combat vehicles. The brigade’s Telegram channel shared footage of the process on a T-72B3 tank. At the start, the interior of the old barrel is shown, revealing the extent of wear caused by intensive use. By the time of filming, the thermal insulation sleeve had already been removed. The fume extractor, which channels propellant gases away from the breech, was the last component left to be dismantled. Thanks to modern tank designs, there’s no need to remove the turret. The barrel tube can simply be unscrewed in place using a sledgehammer and the crane of a maintenance vehicle. Once that’s done, a brand-new smoothbore barrel is installed in reverse order. It was noted that, after final testing, the tanks would be returned to combat missions.

🚨🇷🇺 NATO IN PANIC: RUSSIA’S T-80BVM TANK GETS NEW ARMOR FOR DRONE WAR A previously unseen T-80BVM configuration has appeared with a tighter roof screen and expanded side protection. Russian engineers are turning lessons from frontline crews into a more coherent armor package built around the threats tanks actually face in Ukraine. 🔸 The lower anti-drone screen sits closer to the turret and covers more of its upper surface than many early field-built cages. It is designed to trigger FPV warheads away from the thin roof and disrupt clean top-down attacks. 🔸 Additional Relikt explosive reactive armor and side screens strengthen the hull flanks, fuel-tank areas and engine compartment against shaped-charge weapons — the sections drone operators repeatedly try to reach. 🔸 The upgrades preserve the T-80BVM’s main advantage: mobility. Its 1,250 hp gas-turbine engine can push the tank to around 70 km/h, allowing crews to fire, relocate and avoid remaining exposed in one position. 🔸 The tank retains its 125 mm gun, modern fire-control system and ability to launch guided missiles through the barrel, giving it the firepower to engage armor and fortified positions from range. 🔸 Uralvagonzavod says recent T-80BVM batches incorporate combat experience and direct feedback from the front, with the main emphasis placed on crew safety and overall survivability. 🔸 Russia has also increased production of the T-80BVM, T-90M and T-72B3M severalfold. New batches continue to reach the troops as anti-drone protection becomes a standard part of the upgrade process. The T-80BVM keeps its turbine-powered speed while adding protection where FPV crews look first: the turret roof, hull sides and engine deck. Every clean attack angle is becoming harder to find. Which matters most for tank survival now: roof armor, electronic warfare or speed?

The first known appearance of the Russian T-72B3A main battle tank equipped with the Arena-M active protection system (APS) on the frontlines in Ukraine. The Arena-M APS was designed to protect Russian armored vehicles from ATGMs, RPGs and FPV drones. In this case, the system appears to have failed to do its job as the tank was successfully struck by a Ukrainian FPV drone. The footage comes from the recent Russian mechanized assault near the settlement of Mayak in Dobropilla direction, Donetsk front. The attack ended up in failure.

First Drone vs. Manned Fighter Combat? On December 8, 2025, the Ukrainian Air Force confirmed the loss of a Su-27 fighter jet piloted by Lieutenant Colonel Yevhenii Ivanov, who was killed during a combat mission in the eastern direction. Yesterday, December 17, one Mi-24 was downed in same circumstances. Russian sources allege the aircraft was shot down, but Ukrainian statements describe the circumstances as under investigation, with no official confirmation of the cause. There are unverified Russian claims linking it to a modified Geran-2 drone equipped with an R-60 missile. Ukrainian intelligence has confirmed the existence of Geran-2 variants armed with R-60 air-to-air missiles, designed primarily to counter aircraft or helicopters approaching to intercept drone swarms. If independently verified, such an engagement could represent a significant milestone in drone-vs-manned aircraft combat. This development aligns with broader trends i mentioned in my previous article on Chinese high-altitude drones conducting air-to-air target acquisition from positions well above potential threats. Elon Musk has indeed argued that the future of warfare lies with unmanned aircraft, stating that manned fighter jets are becoming obsolete in the drone era and predicting a shift toward autonomous or remotely controlled systems. But i believe that it’s something to the next two decades. Sixth-generation aircraft concepts often emphasize manned platforms controlling swarms of drones (loyal wingmen), but the question pushes further: How will manned fighters compete against high-altitude unmanned systems operating 10–15 km above their service ceiling and potentially launching air-air hypersonic missiles? In January I will post an article on China's development of layered high-altitude drone systems for ISTAR (Intelligence, Surveillance, Target Acquisition, and Reconnaissance), one optimized for aerial threats and another for naval targets. Recent Chinese programs, like high-altitude stealth drones, recharge stations and mothership concepts capable of deploying swarms, suggest active progress in this direction.

🇩🇪 The German defense company Helsing, specializing in artificial intelligence, has presented the concept of its unmanned stealth bomber CA-1 Europa. The aircraft, whose design took only 14 weeks, is 11 meters long with a maximum takeoff weight of 4 tons, and is presumably going to use a business jet-class engine to achieve subsonic speed. According to the company, the project is based on a Software-First approach, where high performance is achieved through the complex AI pilot Centaur and an open modular architecture, using relatively simple and inexpensive hardware. Helsing plans to invest hundreds of millions of euros to make the first flight of the CA-1 Europa as early as 2027. The main idea: to create an "intelligent mass" of systems, the losses of which can be quickly and cheaply compensated, since one drone will cost only a fraction of the price of a manned fighter. The aircraft, likely with a payload of about 0.5 tons, will be equipped with internal weapon bays and designed to perform reconnaissance missions, electronic warfare tasks, as well as air and ground strike operations at low altitude.

Units of the Unmanned Systems Forces grouping carried out a series of strikes on key enemy targets, including an ST-68 radar, a "Pantsir-S1" anti-aircraft missile and gun system, logistical support and ammunition depots, railway tank cars with fuel and lubricants, mobile fire groups, and logistics facilities. Here are more details about the operations: 🎯In temporarily occupied Feodosia, operators of the 1st Separate USC destroyed a radome inside which an ST-68 radar was located. Immediately after that, the unit's operators struck the radar itself, which was designed to detect and track air targets and was an important element of the enemy's air defense system. 🎯The 1st Separate USC struck a "Pantsir-S1" anti-aircraft missile and gun system in temporarily occupied Crimea. The estimated cost of the struck complex is about 15 million US dollars. The "Pantsir-S1" is one of the key elements of the enemy's air defense. 🎯The 414 Magyar's Birds , the K-2 , the "Phoenix" border guard unit, and the 412th "Nemesis" Brigade struck enemy logistics targets in the Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia, and Luhansk regions. 🎯The 1st Separate USC struck railway tank cars with fuel and lubricants in the Donetsk region. 🎯The 412th "Nemesis" Brigade struck a logistical support depot in Mariupol. 🎯The 1st Separate USC struck an ammunition depot in the Luhansk region. 🎯The "Phoenix" border guard unit struck an enemy mobile fire group in the Luhansk region. The operations were conducted in coordination with the Deep Strike Center of the USF grouping. The Unmanned Systems Forces consistently dismantle the enemy's defense: destroying air target detection means, eliminating air defense systems, and disrupting the supply of ammunition, fuel, and logistical support. USF: One step ahead!

The official name of this tank is the Type 100 tank(100坦克). Its derivative model is the Type 100 support vehicle(100支援战车). 🪖Soldier: In this parade, there are three types of equipment on display: the 99B tank, the 100 tank, and the 100 support vehicle. The 99B tank is an upgraded version based on the 99A, while the 100 tank and the 100 support vehicle represent the core force of the Army on future battlefields. 🎙️Narrator: Transitioning from the “99 era” to the “100 era” is not merely a change in numbers. Behind this transformation are the firm steps of the new People’s Army moving toward intelligent, informationized, and unmanned development. 👩Female Reporter: Taking the 100 tank as an example, the most noticeable change is in its upper structure. From the turret’s appearance, it no longer has the straight-edged design of the 99 series, but instead features multiple irregular polygonal protrusions. This design greatly increases the difficulty for enemy shells to score a hit, enhancing the tank’s survivability. Looking further, the top of the turret is equipped with observation and aiming devices, an anti-aircraft machine gun, and interceptor munitions. The gunner can easily grasp the battlefield situation through the screen at their station, and operate the main gun and anti-aircraft machine gun for fire engagement. 🪖Soldier: Both the 100 tank and the 100 support vehicle can silently approach the enemy under certain conditions, avoiding exposure caused by excessive noise. 🎙️Narrator: In terms of protection, both vehicles adopt a combination of active and passive defense. In terms of communication, they feature integrated systems that support multiple modes, making them more diverse and more reliable. 🪖Soldier: The 100 support vehicle is also equipped with unmanned operators who can control reconnaissance vehicles and drones, greatly improving reconnaissance capability and enabling precise strikes on targets. 👩Female Reporter: There’s a detail some viewers may have noticed during the live broadcast: the drivers of the 100 tanks and 100 support vehicles are equipped with a new type of helmet. This visualization helmet can display vehicle driving data and reconnaissance imagery in real time. For the driver, it’s like what we see in a video game interface—on one side of the screen are vehicle data, and on the other is the battlefield map. This significantly improves the driver’s awareness of the battlefield situation and the vehicle’s status. 🪖Soldier: Both vehicle types are equipped with 360-degree imaging, much like the surround-view systems common in civilian electric cars today. This allows the crew inside to observe the surroundings of the vehicle more effectively, helping both the driver and other crew members maintain better situational awareness. With this equipment’s high degree of informatization and digitization, we are better prepared to win future informationized wars.

The video shows the defeat of a Russian tank assault column by Ukrainian Warriors of the 79th Air Assault Brigade. In the area of Kurakhove, Donetsk region, the Russians tried once again to break through our defenses by sending a column consisting of three newest T-72B3M tanks, two APCs with paratroopers, and a group of motorcyclists. The tanks were equipped with additional protection in the form of a shed on the turret, electronic warfare systems, mine-sweepers. Despite such preparations, the column did not reach the Ukrainian positions - 3 tanks hit mines and were completely destroyed by drones. Both APCs were also hit. At least 6 Russian soldiers were destroyed by grenades that were dropped by from Mavic drones. One of the Russian soldiers tried to hide in the basement of a large dilapidated building, and then the building was destroyed by a Ukrainian guided aerial bomb. Another brilliant work of the Defenders of the 79th Brigade. Glory to the Heroes!

🚨🇷🇺 ZELENSKY IN PANIC: RUSSIA UPGRADES T-90M TANKS WITH FRONTLINE COMBAT FEEDBACK Russia's T-90M main battle tank is getting smarter and tougher in real time — Rostec upgraded armor, electronic warfare suites, and active protection systems. 🔸 T-90M has grown more powerful and better protected through continuous upgrades driven by new frontline tasks and direct soldier feedback from Ukraine operations. 🔸 Arena-M, Russia's first hard-kill active protection system, entered service late 2024; an updated version for intercepting drones and loitering munitions completed development in January 2026. 🔸 Uralvagonzavod is expanding both passive and active defences while improving operational and technical characteristics, with heavy focus on crew safety in drone-heavy fights. 🔸 T-90M remains Russia's main battle tank, it matches current Leopard 2A8 and M1A2 Abrams performance but sits below next-generation platforms like the Russian T-14 or China's Type 100. 🔸 Rostech is locking in long-term gains by routing SVO veterans into a new preparatory engineering faculty at Bauman University so they can design future systems at key plants. Will Russia's battlefield-to-factory iteration cycle give the T-90M a decisive edge over slower-updating Western tank programs in future high-intensity conflicts? Is the T-90M becoming the most combat-adapted tank of the drone war?

A kamikaze drone with a range of over 160 km and Starlink control has appeared in the arsenal of the Russian Armed Forces. The long-range barrage weapon BM-35 has just appeared in the zone of the special military operation and has already surprised the enemy. It hits targets deep in the enemy's defenses at a distance of over 160 kilometers. At the same time, it is guided in real time, which allows it to attack rapidly moving targets. Its cost is much lower than that of anti-aircraft missiles, so even its destruction causes losses for the enemy. And recently, the enemy found a Starlink Mini dish in the wreckage of a downed UAV, with which drone operators receive images from cameras, and now complains that it cannot suppress it with electronic warfare. - AN

Russian robotic complex "Stalker" demining liberated territory in Kursk border area The operator can control the machine at a distance of up to 1-3 km, receiving images from four cameras placed on the "Stalker". The machine was developed by Chelyabinsk "DST-Ural" and a year ago was tested near Avdeevka, and now, probably, is being serially supplied to engineering units. The "Stalker" has a mass of 27 tons and an engine with a capacity of 540 hp. It is designed to clear the area of ​​explosive objects and anti-personnel mines. In the event of an anti-tank mine detonation, the protective casing of the robot will be damaged, which can be replaced - it is a consumable.

First combat use of T-72B3A tanks with the Arena-M APS, modernized to counter FPV drones, ended unsuccessfully. Video from CSP “Omega” shows footage of a T-72B3A tank being hit in the rear — the APS failed to activate. 2 tanks (1 with Arena-M APS and one with “Mangal”) were struck near the settlement of Mayak, Donetsk Oblast. T here are still no details on why the APS did not work or how many tanks were equipped with it, but it is clear that the attempt at a massed use of Russian armored vehicles failed. Whose fault it is — KBM (the developers of the system), UVZ (who, as usual, did everything half-assedly and installed a minimal number of countermeasures), or the tank crews themselves — remains unknown for now.
