Footage showing further Ukrainian advances (not clear if it was held). The question is where is the best location to breach the main defensive lines. Kyiv may need to take Novoprokopivka 1st to ensure the advance isn't too narrow, and thus at risk of counterattacks on the flanks. https://t.co/oexMUTqm7V

Leopard 2 tanks feature turret-mounted ammo compartments that explode outward, enhancing crew safety—unlike Russian tanks where ammo is stored under the turrets and which explode together with the crew 3/

The key challenges for the tanks are mines and drones

Nonetheless, currently more than 50 Leopard 2s remain active, and a fresh batch expected next year 5/

If Russia really has lost 4 IL-76s tonight that represents about 4% of their military heavy lift capacity & well over $100m (depending on price estimates from $120-$200m) in lost equipment. Adding a Tu-22 to the mix is another $40m. So up to a quarter billion in losses https://t.co/TlZW9WR67M
