Didn't see any.
Nor any Bradleys
I see this has gone down as well as expected with the Ukranians. Unfortunately I can see this being the price...
Ukraine war latest: Trump responds to Russia's NATO incursion - as Poland warns risk of military clash 'closest since WWII'
Poland says the country is closer to armed conflict than at any time since the Second World War after multiple Russian drones violated its airspace. Donald Trump has responded, amid widespread condemnation over the incursion - which Moscow claims was not intentional. Follow the latest.news.sky.com
Personally think there will be more pressure over the coming months for a "quick and easy" fix to end the conflict due to it being an "inconvenience" to the more general population, despite the longer term repercussions of that, even if the remains of Ukraine was in NATO, has significant potential to be more costly and inconvenient.
Scroll down the photos , its in the group shot with the CV90
looks like there is a T-80 and then a T-84 to the right of CV90

Playing exactly into Putin's end game
no you are right, i apologise, was a quick look earlier
Russian general previously in charge of Ukrainian invasion found dead
Former deputy defence minister Col-Gen Gennady Zhidko, 58, was briefly in charge of the failing war effort last year before giving way to General Sergei 'Armageddon' Surovikin.
Did you take that poison tea
All the Russian regime will take away from it is that if they make things inconvenient enough the West will eventually compromise. Maybe the chances are later down the road things might go a different direction but amongst other factors time isn't on Putin's side at his age (so he'd likely try and leverage that sooner rather than later).

Interesting video from CNN showing Ukraine is able to use Thermal imaging camera's on drones to locate landmines
Video shows Ukraine using thermal imaging drones to try to locate mines left by Russia to kill and maim its soldiers
Ukraine is using thermal cameras mounted on drones to try to combat the dense minefields deployed by Russia, which have hampered its counteroffensive.www.businessinsider.com
So it turns out land mines work like storage heaters in as much as when it's hot and sunny they absorb the heat from the surrounding earth and in the evening when it's colder the landmines retain the heat as the earth around them cools down allowing them to be detected by thermal imaging.
Should be equipping front line troops and vehicles with the imagers and let them try to push through the Russian line at night and see the mines to avoid them

This looks bad, and is bad.
Nato should be standing firm- and officially disown this statement as it is damaging.
They have.
Tbh, if the 'update' and retraction is to be believed, it sounds like the headline didn't quite reflect the context he was talking about, which wouldn't be a complete surprise.
For eg. If this war grinds on with a stalemate for 3,5,10 years - there's a point that a resolution will be made. To postulate about it doesn't mean we're ready to admit defeat now. Hell Germany just pledged financial support until 2027, so it sounds like we're not expecting a quick win but are ready to support them for some time yet.

Listen to the seagulls they know what its like in Ukraine
Tanks have always been about combined arms. It used to be tanks + infantry; now they need to add anti-air into the mix. And AA guns are rather lethal when fired horizontally, as the Japanese found in WW2.
