Footage posted online appears to show a Ukrainian drone striking a commander in a Russian infantry fighting vehicle.
In a clip posted to Reddit, a grenade appears to be dropped on a Russian BMP-3 infantry fighting vehicle from a height, purportedly filmed from the perspective of a drone operator.
The vehicle's operators can then be seen emerging from the vehicle and attempting to leave the vicinity of the attack.
The clip may be linked to Ukraine's 72nd mechanized brigade, according to a description appearing at the beginning of the excerpt.
Newsweek could not independently verify the location or veracity of the clip, nor when it was recorded.
Newsweek has reached out to the defense ministries of Ukraine and Russia for comment and to Ukraine's General Staff of the Armed Forces regarding the clip's authenticity.
Russia's BMP amphibious tracked infantry fighting vehicle comes in several iterations, based on the BMP-1. The upgraded BMP-2 and the later BMP-3 feature modernized systems, with the BMP-3 combining "the best of an infantry fighting vehicle, tank destroyer, fire support vehicle, and amphibious personnel carrier," according to Russian state military exporter, Rosoboronexport. It has a top road speed of around 43 miles per hour, and a cruising range of approximately 370 miles, the state defense company said.
The BMP-3 is equipped with a 100mm cannon-missile launcher, 30mm automatic cannon, and 7.62mm machine gun, as well as machine guns fitted to the hull.
According to Dutch open-source military tracking outlet Oryx, Russia has lost a total of 2,286 infantry fighting vehicles—including 1,478 destroyed and 610 captured vehicles—as of Monday. Of these, 374 BMP-1 variants have been lost, as well as several hundred BMP-2 and 249 BMP-3 vehicles. However, the outlet only registers visually-confirmed losses, so the total figure may be higher.
Ukraine's authorities frequently share footage of attacks, including drone strikes recorded through unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Drone clips that surfaced last June also showed Ukrainian UAVs targeting a Russian BMP-2 infantry fighting vehicle.
Earlier this month, Ukraine's military shared a video of a soldier targeting a Russian tank using a U.S.-made Javelin anti-tank missile. In late March, Ukrainian forces posted footage of a drone taking out a Russian-TOR-M2 missile system.
Drones have taken on a prominent role in the Ukraine war for both Moscow and Kyiv's forces.
"They are the super weapon here," Anton Gerashchenko, an adviser to Ukraine's minister of internal affairs, told Newsweek in February. "This war is a war of drones," he added.

Not avoiding anything comrade. My hesitancy to believe the documents story is true, is because we did the same thing during World war 2 to great success. Time will tell if it is true or not.

Quote:Russian economic statistics are a collection of lies and distortions. They are meant to convince people at home that their economy is chugging along despite the war, and people abroad that Western economic sanctions don’t work and therefore should be rescinded. Many international economists, including official organizations, have bought into this type of Russian propaganda.

Statistics in contemporary Russia are equally deceptive.

Grenade Detonates as Russian Troops Huddle Together, Video Shows
By Ellie Cook On 4/10/23 at 11:07 AM EDT

Footage of a grenade detonating after being launched at Russian troops which appears to have been captured by a Ukrainian drone is circulating online.
The video shows a grenade being dropped from above a group of soldiers, described as Russian troops "huddled next to their vehicle." An explosion occurs, with the figures visibly moving following the detonation. Newsweek could not independently verify the source or the provenance of the video, although it appears to have been posted at one point by a Russian-language Telegram channel for war footage.
Footage of the war in Ukraine has long circulated online, including clips posted by Russia and Ukraine's militaries. Video recorded by Ukrainian drones, targeting Russian vehicles and military equipment, are frequently posted by social media channels belonging to Ukraine's military.
The Supernova+ Telegram account indicated that the grenade in the latest footage was a "VOG," apparently suggesting it is a high explosive grenade-launched VOG-25. Newsweek could not verify this claim.
Newsweek reached out to Ukraine's and Russia's defense ministries and the General Staff of Ukraine's Armed Forces via email for comment.
In an operational update on Monday morning, Ukraine's General Staff said Russian forces had launched 26 air strikes and four missile strikes on Ukrainian territory overnight. S-300 missiles were launched to the east and the south of Ukraine, it said.
Russia's "main efforts" were concentrated on the Donetsk settlements on Lyman, Bakhmut, Avdiivska and Maryinka, it added, saying Ukrainian forces fended off 58 attacks in these areas on Sunday.
More than 290 Ukrainian troops were killed in the Donetsk direction, the Russian defense ministry said on Monday, adding that 11 Ukrainian drones had been downed in the east of the country over the past day.
Long-touted plans for a Ukrainian spring counteroffensive continue to make the headlines, although Ukrainian officials have largely refrained from offering up details on Kyiv's military plans in recent weeks.
Earlier this month, leaked documents appearing to detail Kyiv's requirements and NATO analyses of Ukraine's capabilities for a planned counteroffensive circulated online, prompting a Pentagon investigation. Ukraine's top officials dismissed the documents as false, but said they would focus on "measures to prevent the leakage of information regarding the plans" of Kyiv's military.
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken told European media last week that a counteroffensive was expected in "the coming weeks," which the Kremlin then said its military had noted. The Washington-based Institute for the Study of War think tank suggested on Sunday that Russia could propose an Orthodox Easter ceasefire later this month to delay a Ukrainian counteroffensive, which the Kremlin denied.

No matter what the topic, comrade signym posts what she wishes to be true. I take great pleasure in the fact that what she wishes to be true, never is.
Another way to say it is, she never gets what she wants. Too funny...

Quote:The North Koreans and the Russians share a trait: they cannot stop bragging about how well their economies are doing compared to their enemies. According to North Korea, South Korea is a slum. According to statistics, North Korea is delusional. Russia has also been living under the same delusions as North Korea: nuclear weapons make the country prosperous, proud, and mighty compared to its enemies. The Russians and the North Koreans are missing out on much of life because they eat, sleep, and work with a steady diet of lies to keep them going. It is a very unhealthy way to live, which is reflected in their shortened lifespans compared to neighboring countries.

Expanding on that thought reveals, what she wants she never gets. Too funny...
