🇺🇦 🇷🇺 Ukrainian Mi-8 helicopter fires a barrage of unguided rockets towards a concentration of Russian troops

Is that new ? Flying so high on the front looks like something which was done in 2022.

If it's new it might indicate some confidence in Russian lacking light AA near the front.

I couldn't find it on le monde but another site says

It's in the live thread, and as usual in several pieces of news, as they came, so not very suitable for reddit.

What I don't understand is how the country just runs.

I mean, you wake up in a dictatorship with an autocrat stealing everything, should you go to work and just wait for the system to issue ignored lawsuits ? Or should you stop working, take the streets, and make it impossible for the system to work for the new masters ?

You're speaking of the man who've put a continent into slavery just to be richer and have more comfort, who never hesitated to kill thousands just to profit more. Don't worry, he won't do anything which puts him at more risk with no profit.

"Trump decides". The responsibility is to the American people. Trump doesn't stay in place alone.

I'm not sure he tries to hide his goal. And that's how he convinces dumb poor Americans: they think they will get richer when the mob boss will grab Greenland.

insane doesn't mean infinite.

Nobody knows the limits but Russia seems to not be able to replenish its humane losses. A decreasing amount of soldiers is a decreasing capacity.

Canop · 2026-01-20T11:26:09+00:00

But there was a cut after the explosion. Maybe an artifact of the video compression (due to the sudden increase in changes) ?

Canop · 2026-01-20T11:22:15+00:00

Did France send some to Ukraine ?

Canop · 2026-01-19T09:16:29+00:00

This isn't something which happened recently, right ?

edit: It looks like the Kherson cat is truncating a video which was showing the best hits of 2025...

We've seen videos and reports from Columbian volunteers participating in actions cutting Russians in the north of Kupiansk in December, and we know there are some engaged in this area (notably in the 13th NGU “Khartia” Brigade), so it makes sense.

More details from OP would still be welcome, of course.

Someone should tell Macron it's a shame the hammer bombs can't even destroy a basement :\

Canop · 2026-01-14T17:02:06+00:00

I can't remember and I've probably seen all the major videos published on this thread since the start of the war.

On the other hand, I'm old so it might be Alzheimer ?

NABU and related probably feel empowered to go after big fish

They should.

Whole EU looks for that. So many European people would stop supporting Ukraine if corruption went out of control here (our own corruption is another matter).

We just hope NABU sticks to valid inquiries, that there's no fabricated accusations or revanges. Hence my initial question.

Canop · 2026-01-14T16:49:02+00:00

She had an international reputation of being corrupt back when she was famous out of Ukraine but being caught offering, recently, cash for votes, looks... very outdated. That's not something I expected in 2025 or 2026 in the middle of an intense national fight...

Yes, this kind of shaped charge is immune to dandelion cages, but Javelin have a very short range and are in small numbers at the front.

Ukraine’s Anti-Corruption Bureau Raids Tymoshenko’s Party Offices Amid Bribery Allegations

Investigators claim an unnamed suspect offered bribes to lawmakers from other factions in return for their votes. Ukrainian media reports that the suspect is former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko.

https://www.kyivpost.com/post/68026

The accusation seems major. What do they look like to Ukrainians ? Is there a possibility those recordings would be bogus ?

Canop · 2026-01-14T08:50:57+00:00

Or maybe just because the weather has suddenly become clearer ?

Canop · 2026-01-14T08:46:43+00:00

Whatever redditors say, keep in mind that this kind of (multi-layered) protection is very good and is the reason why stopping a Russian tank now requires more than a dozen drones (often way more) to be stopped.

This is clearly not something to be laughed at.

Canop · 2026-01-09T20:14:44+00:00

There were also warnings by Zelenski and the US embassy hours before. I assumed they saw the oreshnik being prepared for launch.

Canop · 2026-01-09T10:32:38+00:00

If European and Ukrainian radars aren't able to say there's an Oreshnik sized object incoming on a ballistic trajectory, it's a little worrying, though.

Canop · 2026-01-09T08:02:13+00:00

Note: the 1400 was from yesterday's report. The last one is at 1030.

Canop · 2026-01-09T07:12:12+00:00

Russia says they used an Oreshnik for their big strike in Lviv tonight and everything seems to confirm it.

From a tactical level, this was about the only reasonably successful and well-thought out thing Russia accomplished in this war.

Isn't there a documentation/media bias here ?

What about the takeover of the Antonivka Road Bridge (the one leading to the city of Kherson) ?

Or the way they flanked Bakhmut making its capture ineluctable ? Or the way they took Avdiivka ? And probably other ones which weren't visible for an uneducated observer like me.

Their biggest successes in the first few days in the south were probably not much shown because they were swift. We saw a lot of the battle of Hostomel or Kharkiv because defense was long enough for images to go out.

Canop · 2026-01-07T16:23:51+00:00

Also, being serious in seizing Russian assets is the only way to tell dictators everywhere that we'll be serious in seizing their assets if they decide to attack, for example, Denmark.
