I have no idea why they consider one hull/chassis a better choice for the turret then the other.  This vehicle has a specific mission in air defense and should not be engaging any other vehicles, so I assume cheaper and fast would be the optimal hull characteristics.  And I don’t see how a leopard 1 hull would add much to the stated mission. 

Edit: it just occurred to me they may have some leftover leopard one bodies laying around that they probably can’t sell to anyone, but they can marry them to sky ranger turrets and make a profit on the complete package - one that is a needed asset to knock down drones and low-flying fixed, wing or attack chopper targets.

Ukrainian forces liberated Vovchansk, a city in Chuhuiv Raion, Kharkiv Oblast, Ukraine.A month into Russia’s push across the border in northern Ukraine, Western weapons and Ukrainian reinforcements have largely stalled the attack.

So as much as the M2--a glorified personnel carrier--was criticized during its development and initial deployments, here it is (albeit updated and upgraded) making scrap out of Russia's second-newest tank more than 40 years later.

Conversely, are there videos of BMPs taking out M1s? Unlikely.

I bet we never see the T-14 in combat. Russia can't risk another embarrassment. Instead, the few that have been produced will "serve" behind the lines while the design bureaus try to discreetly come up with something that won't go Pop Goes the Weasel when hit with 25mm rounds.

That’s wild - dudes and their partners going to nightclubs are probably pretty heavy social media users, and Rostov-on-Don has over a million people, 90% Russian demographics-wise.  Those raids will get the attention of the younger folks in Moscow and St. Petersburg.  Also could mean they are running low on the potential pool of conscripts - must be about done with the prisons and minorities.

I was wrong, apparently they are sending food, water, and ammo in by drones, although the logistics of supplying 400 surrounded Russians seems pretty impossible for them.

The Bradley is equipped with the M242 25 mm autocannon as its main weapon. The M242 has a single barrel with an integrated dual-feed mechanism and remote feed selection.
 
What ammo does the M242 use?
 
 
images?q=tbn:ANd9GcThVpNRiZxM5OJTjMTB6jD
It has the capability to fire U.S. manufactured ammunition as well as the NATO equivalents thereof. Primarily though, it fires six types of rounds: the M791, M792, M793, M910, MK210, and M919.
 
M791 armor-piercing discarding sabot with tracer
The APDS-T penetrates lightly armored vehicles, self-propelled artillery, and aerial targets such as helicopters and various slow-moving, fixed-wing aircraft.
M792 high explosive incendiary with tracer and self destruct
The HEI-T can destroy unarmored vehicles and helicopters and suppress anti-tank missile positions and enemy squads out to a maximum effective range of 2,200 meters.
M793 target practice with tracer
The TP-T cartridge is a fixed-type, percussion-primed training round that matches the high explosive incendiary with tracer (HEI-T M792) round ballistically. The TP-T's tracer is visible out to 2,000 meters, however, the round has a maximum effective range (accuracy-limited) of 1,600 meters.
M910 target practice discarding sabot with tracer
The TPDS-T replicates the flight pattern of the M791 armor piercing discarding sabot with tracer (APDS-T) round. The TPDS-T allows units to realistically practice sabot engagements.
MK210 high explosive incendiary with tracer
Used by the U. S. Navy in their Mk38 naval weapon system.
M919 armor-piercing, fin-stabilized discarding sabot with tracer.
The APFSDS-T round penetrates lightly armored vehicles, self-propelled artillery, and aerial targets, which include helicopters and slow-moving fixed-wing aircraft. The dart is made of depleted uranium.

It is definitely hitting the tank. But I'm not convinced the tank was severely damaged in that video.

Got it, but describing that video as the chain gun taking out a T-90M is misleading. If it hadn't been so isolated, it could have retreated. The chain gun isn't really capable of penetrating the armor of the vehicle. But given enough time, it can limit its mobility and ability to return to fire. You'd still need more firepower to actually destroy it. Here, you had multiple Bradleys and a FPV drone focused on taking it out.

[emoji298]️Azov reports advances in Serebryansky forest, releases video of 'nastiest weapon.'

Ukraine's Azov Brigade has pushed Russian troops from positions in the Serebryansky forest in Luhansk Oblast, advancing 1 kilometer, the unit reported on June 16.

In a comment to the Kyiv Independent on June 17, the brigade said further results of the operation, which began on April 21, could not be reported at this time to protect the "safety and success of operations."

https://www.threads.net/@ghostoflviv_/post/C8Utg-9pNaE/?xmt=AQGz3_EvPFRKn4HKcv4WWIaukl0nbFOwKGiKiIEHkNryxQ

In the Kharkiv region, heavy battles are currently underway in the village of Hlyboke, as well as the village of Lukiantsi. Ukrainian forces are on the counter attack to recapture lost positions from when the Russian offensive first started.

Glory to the defenders [emoji1255]🫡

Yeah they were hammering away at the main hull/turret joint, which can jam it up.  They also probably blinded the driver, because it looked like they were smashing the area around his periscopes.  Maybe the commander as well.  Those periscopes probably can’t take that kind of sustained fire.
