We're making serious progress on our LongShot program. 💯 Thanks to support from our government and industry partners, we successfully completed several technical milestones, moving the program – recently designated the X-68A – closer to flight testing.

It's interesting seeing relatively old laser guided artillery shells now enjoying a new lease of life as widespread and effective Russian jamming has rendered more modern GPS guided munitions like the M982 Excalibur virtually useless.
Newly released footage of Ukraine's 148th Artillery Brigade using 155mm M712 Copperhead laser-guided rounds to conduct precision artillery strikes on Russian targets. Seen here, the feed from the loitering drone lasing targets for the shells:

I also spy a Supacat HMT with EOS R400 RWS with 30x113 mm gun, most likely with a clear C-UAS mission focus, on the left in the first picture... The kind of thing that could be part of the 200 million UOR for Ukraine, by the way.

(1/10) Vasiliy Chobitok recently wrote an article explaining some misconceptions about the T-80UD (478B/BE/D/DU etc.) designations. Basically, the key differentiating point between the 478B and 478D series is the presence of the Shtora/Varta electro-optical jammers.

Every man has a favorite tank. I’m not talking about a “best” tank. It may be objectively terrible. But it’s the favorite. Tell me yours.

The Ukrainian BM Oplot (T-84) tanks in service with the AFU have undergone modernizations during the war. In addition to the cope cages, the gunner’s TO1-KO1ER night vision sight has been replaced with new TPN-4E MBT uncooled thermal sight made by Trimen. youtube.com/watch?v=iLW_A-yr…

Nothing too surprising, it’s simply a Ukrainian-mod M1A1 AIM SA. ADoD removed the CWS’ remote thermal sight (RTS) and reworked the TC panel into Ukrainian, while the gunner primary sight TIS still retains the 2GF BICU and 2GF TRU. New antennas indicate a switch to AFU radio set.
