Man. Out of the 21 Leopard 2 A6 tanks Ukraine had, probably now to down about 10 remaining, I wouldn't be surprised if only 3 out of the 10 remaining are still functional. Modern tanks are just too damn hard to service. Not like WW2 tanks you have thousands of Tiger tanks at the battle of Kursk in 1943.
@Viet I think tanks is a thing of the past. Future is drones like Terminator.

Russia deploys new counter battery radar which from the appearance seems to be based on the Chinese SLC-2. It appears to use AESA as opposed to PESA which is used by the older Zoopark series. It could track and locate field guns and HIMARS.

Units of the Russian invasion forces were equipped with a 1К148 Yastreb-AV counter-battery radar system.
The Russian Ministry of Defense reported that the system entered service with artillery units deployed on the territory of Ukraine.
Along with the Zoopark-1M system, Yastreb-AV is detecting artillery firing positions.
The characteristics of the 1К148 Yastreb-AV counter-battery radar system were not publicized. The system’s model was demonstrated at the Army-2022 forum.
The Russian military started receiving it recently, and tests were completed only in late 2021 or early 2022.

The radar system with a phased array antenna is capable of automatically tracking the trajectory of shells fired by enemy artillery, determining the exact position coordinates.
The 1К148 Yastreb-AV system is placed on a four-seater BAZ-6910-025 chassis. The rear part of the chassis is allocated for the placement of an antenna post with a large area array.
At the same time, in August this year, the commander of the Tavria operational and strategic group reported that they destroyed the Russian radar station of the Yastreb-AV system.
“We have successes in the Tavria direction. 18 units of enemy military equipment were destroyed. In particular, one Yastreb-AV radar system,” Brigadier General Oleksandr Tarnavskyi reported.
Today, the fight against enemy artillery has become one of the key tasks in military operations.

Counter-battery radars directly detect a missile or projectile and calculate it on several points of the trajectory, determining both the location of the enemy’s firing position and the site of the projectile’s fall.
At the moment, the 1L219 Zoopark-1 radar is the main counter-battery radar in service with the Russian military.

Crimea Ship Attack Exposes Black Sea 'Trap' For Russian Fleet

Russia is being encouraged by some of its own to target the British military for helping Ukraine carry out a successful attack in the Black Sea last week.
Dozens of Russian servicemembers were declared missing or wounded after the 370-foot Ropucha-class Novocherkassk large landing ship was hit on December 26 in Crimea by Ukrainian cruise missiles. Moscow admitted damage to the ship, which carried a crew of up to 87 service members.
The missiles used by Ukraine were reportedly provided by the U.K. Ministry of Defense, which also aided Kyiv with satellite reconnaissance and target guidance. It has led to some, including Russian political scientist Yuri Baranchik, to encourage Moscow to attack the British warship HMS Diamond.
"This is a blow from Britain/the United States and a desire to interrupt the positive background from the capture of Marinka, as well as the recent successes of the Russian Armed Forces at the front," Barinchik wrote on Telegram, describing the attack as a "training exercise" for a potential future strike on Russia's naval components in the Northern Fleet.

"This latest destruction of Putin's navy demonstrates that those who believe there's a stalemate in the Ukraine war are wrong," U.K. Defense Secretary Grant Shapps said following the attack, according to Sky News. "They haven't noticed that over the past four months, 20 percent of Russia's Black Sea Fleet has been destroyed."

A spokesperson for the British Royal Navy declined to comment to Newsweek, which also reached out to the Russian Defense Ministry.
Retired U.S. Marine Corps Colonel Mark Cancian told Newsweek via email that Baranchik's remarks are indicative of routine Russian behavior, where Russian President Vladimir Putin won't make direct threats but will have surrogates do his bidding.
"Clearly, the pressure that Ukraine is exerting on Crimea is hurting Russia," Cancian said. "The logic here is indirect: The U.K. supplied Storm Shadow missiles to Ukraine, which Ukraine used to attack the ship in Crimea. Russia cannot attack U.K. forces in Europe without risking a conflict with NATO. However, it could have surrogates attack UK forces elsewhere."

The operation was launched in response to a series of Houthi-led drone, missile and naval attacks against commercial shipping in the Red Sea off the coast of Yemeni. Since 2014, the Houthis have been at war with the Western-recognized Yemeni government, and since 2015 with a regional Western-leaning coalition led by Saudi Arabia.
U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin called the Red Sea a "critical" waterway that will be defended. Arab countries like Egypt have hesitated to partake in the operation, while countries like the Netherlands and Norway have offered personnel but no ships.
Gas prices have increased due to escalating anti-Western tensions emanating from the ongoing war between Israel and the Palestinian militant group Hamas in Gaza.
"We can provide the Houthis with appropriate anti-ship missiles, while the West supplies Kyiv with relevant specialists who are not formally in military service in the Russian Armed Forces," Baranchik said. "In principle, we can raise the stakes beyond the limits with mandatory preliminary information support.
"First, a message from a Russian official blamed Britain for the sinking of the Novocherkassk large landing ship. Then, take into the air two MiG-31K [missiles], preferably a MiG-31I, or two Tu-22M2/TU-22M2M—you need to look at the flight range of the carriers—and hit the British destroyer Diamond with two 'daggers.'
"Do it yourself. And officially declare that Russia's patience with the antics of the West is over. London will run to complain to the USA."
Cancian said present threats regarding naval vessels in the Red Sea are merely "symbolic" due to it requiring weeks or even months for missiles to be sent from Russia to Yemen.
"The shipment would probably need to go through the Iranians, who have an existing logistics pipeline to the Houthis," he said.

Can't believe you will be such a fool headed person.
USA attacked and invaded more than 84 countries in recent past.... What was benefit???.????
Don't act like a pigeon..... Please.
And USA considers itself sherif of whole world... Kind of a "moral role model". To teach "lessons" and "humanity" to all those "rouge nations" who go against it will or refuse to submit... Or don't consider USA as their "master"... Or have oil, or gas,... Or gold.... Or or or........
Don't make me write more.

Where I defend the US wars and actions? Do you know how many hot wars and proxy wars Russia staged in the last 100y? A lot of. People just tend to ignore either those from Russia or from the US to please their self delusion.
However there is a difference between the US and Russia behavior. The US aims to be a superpower maintaining the global dominance. Yes, the US wages wars however it has no intention to seize territories from other countries. They just lease it.
The Russians come with guns. They want to steal it. If anyone refuses they start a war then invent bullshit like russian speaking populations are oppressed.
By that logic Russia can invade all territories in Europe. One million Russians live in Germany (they don’t want to live in Putins Russo paradise). unfortunately they must speak German language.

Russia was pushed into this conflict.
Anyways I DO NOT like Russia as much but as this conflict is between Russia and evil USA in wider sense, I will be happy as long as both make each one weaker than before.
It's Russian war that so far USA has not been able to invade and wage war in any Muslim country (although I did via its proxy cum master Isra-hell in occupied Palestinian, but that was bound to happen even without Russia-Ukraine/USA war).
Russia made it delayed and I believe China will be the one who will put a final nail in USA's coffin and end the uni-polar world.
