You really don’t see or hear much from them. Other than using their fleet of heavies to launch cruise missiles from well out of range of Ukrainian air defenses, they seem to be not doing much.

Note that Austria has 56 Leopards that it is likewise not using. There's definitely the opportunity for our European partners to get more tanks to Ukraine, if there's the political will.

They can’t operate over a Ukrainian held lines because the Ukes now have a formidable air defense ring that they didn’t have last spring. All the Russians can do is fire long range missiles from well behind their own lines. This is taking a toll on Russia’s missile stocks though as they can’t replace them at anywhere close to the level they need. On a good note while the Ukes seem to be conducting a fighting withdrawal from Bakhmut on the other side of the country Bradleys, Strykers and M113s are now crossing into Ukraine.

They also have to worry about their own air defense systems. As if on que:

Their complete ineptness is astounding. I can’t wait to see a Ukrainian farmer towing away an abandoned T-14 Armata tank.

I'm definitely aware of the lack of any interest from Austria in helping Ukraine. That doesn't mean, though, that they would be unwilling to sell some of their tanks back to Rheinmetall, which could then go to other European nations.

That guy has too much Bama in him.
I knew he was a clown when it was reported that he spent 2 years in the Army. He was obviously chaptered out.

A new (to me) video of different drone and the A50. Supposedly this is the attack on the forward left side of the plane.

Some kind of discoloration at the same point is visible in this picture

That’s the SATCOM link it hit not the radar dome. It’s a shame they didn’t make more of that opportunity to take out one of their few AWACS. One well placed anti tank grenade dropped from a drone and that aircraft would never fly again.

Russian defence companies continue to showcase their products at major international arms fairs.
Nobody is going to buy that junk. I'm sure its quantified somewhere but the loss of sales and future sales of military equipment is just another lost revenue stream.

Plus, seeing that there are no reports of anyone even approaching the Austrian government about the availability of these tanks tells us all we need to know. The Kremlin has all the payment records and spines are in short supply in Vienna.

It most definitely cause weight gain before rapid weight loss. I know that muz aren't supposed to drink but their imams, mullahs and high ranking officials drink like a fish and don't stop until they are puking, per a biz friend who dealt with them quite a bit over decades.

They supposedly hit it on the dome as well, you can see the scaring in the sat photo. Haven't seen any video of that hit yet.
It doesn't look like it really did much damage though.
