Ukraine now apparently has HAWK SAMs

The video shows the combat work of the American HAWK air defense system this night, which, along with the more modern anti-aircraft missile systems of the allies, defends the Ukrainian sky!
We'll have to wait a bit to see clearer daytime proofs of the firing battery, etc.

The 93rd Separate Mechanized Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine published a video confirming that the unit is operating Swedish-delivered CV9040 armored fighting vehicles.

Note that all vehicles seen here are equipped with Barracuda multi-spectral camouflage.
Barracuda is pretty good.

Does anyone want to make a guess what this is launching?
Those are very narrow tubes

Could be nets to catch drones. I imagine they would have to be small to be able to unravel correctly, and when fired they would have to be timed for accurate precision since they would be extra susceptible to gravity. Since their probably susceptible to wind effects too, you would have to shoot a bunch of them at the same time to cover a large enough area for them to be effective.

Apropos of the earlier debate; the Bradley has been absolutely mogging places...there's tons of footage of two Bradleys engaging a T-90M and coming out the victor. :D

It looks like a smaller caliber version of the "RAK-SA-12 rocket launchers in caliber 128mm of Croatian manufacture." which the Ukrainians also already have.

The trailer mount from yours looks the same as it vice the smaller tubes rocket tubes (Possibly 70mm or 100mm) in comparison the RAK-SA-12 128mm.

HAWK comes out of the shadows and is seen for the first time in Ukraine in clear photos.

Noteworthy: Missiles still have US ARMY painted on them, and the date of mfg of that missile is July 1981.

Another photo shows that Army/USMC missiles are mixed together

I think AFU has two bradley colors now:

1.) Initial Bradleys delivered in teh initial tranche; these were repainted in AFU Green.

2.) Replacement bradleys delivered to replace losses -- about 15 were delivered -- the famous T-90 killer is one of these and seems to be desert tan base color -- no time to repaint, replace losses RFN.

It seems like AFU mix-match external armor as needed ; the Bradley T-90 killer is mostly desert tan, but has green ERA blocks; while I've seen AFU green bradleys with desert ERA blocks.

So basically... "Anything goes"

During Desert Shield/Storm I only had one desert uniform, my other (and a 2nd spare in my "in the rear gear") was standard forest cammo.
Most of the equipment was green when it arrived in theater but was repainted to desert.

Now that we're more-or-less done in Iraq/Afghanistan I expect everything to be repainted green over the next few years.
But certain items (i.e. ERA blocks) will be used "as is" till the stocks are gone.

Video Games Helped Ukrainian Bradley Gunner Win Duel With Russian T-90M Tank

Quote:
The Ukrainian Bradley Fighting Vehicle gunner whose attack on a Russian T-90M Breakthrough tank was captured in a viral video says playing video games helped prepare him for that engagement.

In an interview with the Ukrainian TCH media outlet, that soldier, identified only as “Serhiy,” explained he’d just recently returned to Ukraine in December from Bradley training in Germany. Also the vehicle commander, he and his driver, Oleksandr, were only on their second mission together. Members of the 47th Separate Mechanized Brigade, their job was to protect troops in a trench under fire from Russian tanks.

Going up against a heavily armored T-90M, Russia's most advanced frontline tank armed with a 125mm cannon, with the Bradley's 25mm chain gun was risky, said Serhiy.

“Yes, it was very scary,” he said. “But I think we did well.”

“I can’t express what it means to see a tank in the sights,” said Serhiy. “In training, I was saying, ‘God forbid I see a tank in the sights.’ It so happened that I did, and very close.”

“There was another crew that came first. It didn’t work out, so we had to muster up the courage and go.”

There are several comments. This one is interesting

But was impressive but not reported in the two articles dedicated to this event, was the coordination needed between the Bradleys and drone operators to take down that T-90.
Which is what I suggested when I posted that scenario I built of the incident

if you Google

RBU-6000 naval rocket launcher

you will find quite a selection of improvise launchers most on MT-LB or variants ( and there is no real need for most of them )

~1 billion more SEK to the Swedish-Danish joint procurement of CV 90s for Ukraine.

Out of all the vehicles that have been pulled out of storage and used by Russia in this war, this is one that was really at the bottom of my list to even see in theatre, never mind be destroyed.

The video shows what appears to be a Ladoga protected command vehicle, I won’t talk too much about it here as I made a whole post on the vehicle, so check below for the full info on it, in short it was designed to move senior Kremlin staff around under safety in the event of a nuclear attack, it was trialled in 1986 at the Chernobyl NPP.
Based on T-80 chassis with superstructure installed in place of turret.

https://twitter.com/AFVRec_/status/1695401878694043992

Quote:
The Ladoga’s main test would be in Spring 1986 in Chernobyl, Ukrainian SSR. The vehicle with the callsign 317 was transported from Leningrad, Russian SFSR to Kyiv, Ukrainian SSR in May, the vehicle then went to the power plant to conduct chemical reconnaissance of the area, the vehicle was not alone and had a full CBRN company along with it, including decontamination systems as well as doctors and support troops. Supposedly the Ladoga even conducted extreme close up reconnaissance of the power plant, apparently inside the reactor room. The testing ended in Autumn that year, where it was sent back to Leningrad.

‘In total, from May 3 to September 28, 1986, "Ladoga" passed more than 4,720 km, overcoming sections with a background of up to 1600 R/hour, entering the engine room of the Chernobyl NPP, performing reconnaissance of the area in the territory adjacent to the fourth power unit. VTS "Ladoga" conducted a reconnaissance study of the area of the adjacent area, making video recordings of the most dangerous places and performing other works near the city of Pripyat and the destroyed power unit of the nuclear power plant.’

https://twitter.com/AFVRec_/status/1695402021740802417

Quote:
According to sources no more than 4/5 vehicles were produced, including a prototype for testing in different areas of the USSR. There is 1x Ladoga on display in Patriot Park in the city of Kamensk-Shakhtinsky (Rostov Region). The fate of the other vehicles are unknown.
