If you move that video frame by frame it eventually shows it to be a single layer standing what appears to be a couple of feet away from the rear of the vehicle

I'm especially interested in drone technology, but the library has few recent books on drones, and most of the websites I've seen are site I have never heard of.

None of my books cover newer weapons systems. I have a Jane's warship recognition guide published in 2006, and an armored vehicles recognition guide published around 2005, etc.

Re: Ukraine OOB New and Old Toys
It's X ( twitter ) and all it's doing is showing the Marders with the added protection cages. Since it shows a moving vehicle and a crewman I would suggest it came from the Ukrainians in Kursk
That's just my opinion, I didn't post it

Re: Ukraine OOB New and Old Toys
And I apologize for the double post above. I tried to edit my original post, but somehow wound up creating another. Then the site would not let me delete the original post.

Artaud almost sounds like a "kindred spirit" I don't own a cell phone and never have, don't do META (Facebook), X (Tweeter) Tik Tok (As I have some nice clocks already.   ) etc. etc.

Re: Ukraine OOB New and Old Toys
Artaud almost sounds like a "kindred spirit" I don't own a cell phone and never have, don't do META (Facebook), X (Tweeter) Tik Tok (As I have some nice clocks already. ) etc. etc.
In my two tours at COMSUBGRU TEN (1989-92 (Plankowner)/1998-2002) OPCON.
I was a SEAC my first tour armed with a pager and STU-III phone on my nightstand with a " nifty" and ever-changing hiding place for my key with a 40-minute recall to get to the OPCON after I hung up or responded to a page. If say I went to Jacksonville, Fl (30-40 minutes away.) for a movie or a meal I had to notify the OPCON watch what movie and time we were going too along with the manager's office phone number as a backup.
On my second tour I moved up in the world and reported in and met my departing Division Officer (LCDR.) who had to come up with a unique job title specific to my past and current new responsibilities and was after a couple of minutes of deliberation I became the COMSUBLANT Alt Supervisor "Lofty Title" indeed that again promised long hours and no increase in pay commensurate with my " Lofty Title". I was introduced to my work Cell Phone and given another STU-III to again add to the decor of my bedroom nightstand.
I can assure you beyond a certain political ad from 2016 " Who do you want to answer the phone at 3 in the morning? " I can assure you most of them came to me at 0300 and all the other hours that started with a " 0".
The STU-III was a pretty impressive piece of technology, but it had the added benefit that if I " whacked" someone who broke into the house with it they wouldn't be leaving the house on their own two feet.
It's absolutely WONDERFUL to be " Cell Free".

(Hey, the one pictured on the top is the one I had on my nightstand!!) 
Besides CINCLANTHOME is my COMMO extraordinaire.

Pat
