This. FPV drones are have done a lot of damage I sure Russia will be using the same tactics sooner or later.
If they keep the hatch shut they should be protected from Lancet's as well.

Would that cage help against a Lancet?

Probably stripped out with everything else. We've basically given Ukraine empty shells...

depends on the angle of attack for the lancet
When did hurfdurf get so based
lol I’ve always been hyper aggressive and an accelerationist.
Both are somewhat vague on purpose
the US position is: We're going to support Ukraine for as long as it takes and Crimea is Ukraine
And while that sounds good, it's actually a vague statement because it doesn't state any actual goals for when support will stop and could mean that support can end at any time or it also could mean USA will continue to help Ukraine for the next 20 years (that doesn't mean 20 years of war but could be 20 years of nation building support to get them ready for joining the EU and NATO)

Weren't they taking chips out of consumer electronics?
I don't know all the ways they are getting stuff, but there are several companies, in some cases fronts, in South American countries which are buying stuff, often from Ireland, and sending it to Russia and/or Iran. (Also front companies in the likes of Turkey, UAE, etc. but they are better known).
That as well, some domestic appliances literally do have sensors (such as MEMS) which can be used for ballistic missiles albeit with some adaption required and/or loss of performance and/or accuracy.

Are China adhering to sanctions?
I'd be surprised if Russia are struggling to buy anything electronic. If it's available on AliExpress, it's able to be delivered to Russia.

You're one of the more measured posters here, I would say.

Depends on where the Lancet hit but I've seen videos of a Lancet hitting T-80's and Panzerhaubitze 2000's and either doing very little damage or no damage at all. On a Challenger I can't see a Lancet getting through the armour (unless they significantly increase the warhead but that adds extra weight and the Lancet is pretty slow as it is) but it could likely damage the hunter killer system (if it hasn't already been striped out), optical sights, machine guns etc. So long as the hatch is such the crew should be safe.
I would be more interested to see how the C2 fairs against the Kornet missile but Kornet seems to be MIA in this conflict (in 2014 it was causing a lot problems).

I see this has gone down as well as expected with the Ukranians. Unfortunately I can see this being the price...

Russia-Ukraine war: Putin makes 'significant' attempt to 'redraw red lines' on using nukes
Joe Biden has just confirmed he will provide Ukraine with additional long-range munitions - but he has not relented on allowing the missiles to be launched into Russia. Meanwhile, Vladimir Putin is changing Russia's nuclear doctrine in a new escalation threat.

Kornet footage seems rare compared to the almost daily multiple Stugna uploads. The Stugna has performed fantastically at a glance (obviously they'll be a lot of bias regarding what gets uploaded). It seems very consistent in creating an epic turret toss.

That's all the evidence we need of Russian stock piles running low, if they are firing missiles at Ukraine that were just manufactured instead of firing old stuff because the old stuff is gone
