Mr. T (MrT4) said:An interesting and rather rare vehicle in Ukraine, Toyota MegaCruiser - Toyotas humvee
Very rare and cool vehicle. I wish some of those had made it to the US. Humvee style with Toyota reliability, yes please.

Whatever the cost, would be worth it. Toyotas are the best technicals after all.

Incredible long article and photo interview on the opening of the conflict. One of the most in depth and well photo'd I've seen.

Theres some good weapons related content
On part of why Russias opening missile attack on Ukraine failed to decapitate their command and control:
On air defense:
On captured Russian weapons:
On Tanks:
On Western weapons in the initial defense of Kyiv

Regarding the NLAW, I’m not sure the interviewee does know how it works, or something is lost in translation, because the NLAW is inertially guided and doesn’t target anything. If it goes off in funny directions then either the inertial guidance isn’t working or the users aren’t preparing their shot properly. It’s not going to get spoofed onto a different target.

I agree, its a weird translation / description.
I interpreted it as that the NLAW could sometimes fire its EFP into the roofs of cars in the foreground as opossed to the targeted tank.
IE in street fighting, if there were a number of cars the rocket had to fly over to reach the enemy tank, it could choose to destroy one of those cars as opposed to the enemy vehicle.
