The disposable launchers in the last pic, are they M72 Law or something else? Might be the perspective of the picture but they look unusually short and handy.

Nice. Hadn't realized they were so short.
We need a movie where the female operative pulls one of those out of a yoga mat bag before taking out some VIP.

Supposedly Polish Warmate drones in action. I've read they are hardened against EW and being saved only for high value targets, but cannot confirm that.

Due to the Lancet threat, we're starting to see Air Defense assets (Buk in this case) being guarded by MANPADS. That could become a more widespread TTP.

Manpads against drones is quite questionable as most drones have very low heat signature, mayeb the laser-guided manpads from the brits
Even more questionable is high cost weapons systems like this 20+mio$ IRIS-T radar TRML-4D without any camouflage or even camo paint , its possibly only radar of this type delivered to Ukraine
Might be painted like this desert color , you might as well paint it neon orange

Long columns of armor once discovered by drones are prey of artillery, sometimes one wonder why they all drive in columns even after attacked, Its is probably not due to the terrain being to soft , its likely more due to the threat of mines and lack of mine trawls, it seems like mine trawl should be much more common piece of kit , in Ukraine it seems that mines knock out most armor.
Month ago Russians had such an episode yesterday Ukrainians lost whole lot or armor in similar pileup

Definetly no FPV drones involved , its Warmate feed and its missing most it not all of the targets in the video on twitter ,warmate goes where crosshair piper is pointing not where they yellow box or the round piper are
Warmate is rather simple near consumer-grade , no where near Switchblade or Lancet
Given they are throwing them at empty trucks , warmate is definitely not reserved for special targets. And its missing these too. Lets just say no one is fawning over Warmate

Meanwhile on the question of why Coalition SV SPG are not seen in Ukraine , even though 30 or so are already in service ,well it turns out unlike Tanks that are revers compatible with legarcy ammo ,Coalition SV ,uses specific powder charges not compatible with any other Russian systems and it seems there is very little stock of these
Bureaucracy works even in war time , as a rule for Zil truck tyre is 56k Km , you don't get new ones as your ''slicks'' only have 42.000km on them

New DIY drone munition based on the 'combo effect' warhead used by the Iranian Shaheed. Combines a fragmentation jacket (red) with 5x little HEATish effectors (the copper dimples).
Unambiguous proof of Storm Shadows being used, this one made in 2004.
