The Battle for Avdiivka Proves: Hiding In A Basement Won’t Save You From Ukraine’s M-2 Fighting Vehicles. The 47th Brigade’s U.S. made M-2 Bradley fighting vehicles are killing Russians by dozen. Blasting the Russians with their fast-firing 25 millimeter autocannons—and even squashing panicked Russian troops in their basement hideouts.

Ukrainian drone video circulated online on the day depicts 47th Brigade Bradley crew meeting Russian infantry assault in Stepove, settlement north of Avdiivka and the locus of the fighting on the city’s northern flank.

Drone spots a Russian infantry team scurrying through basement door of a ruined house in the no-man’s land in Stepove, the drone-operator directs an M-2 toward distinctive green door then 3-person Bradley rolls right up basement—and flattens the entrance with its 28-ton bulk.

Then M-2 reverses away, firing as it goes pops smoke, spins around and speeds back toward the Ukrainian line. It’s a new way of fighting the Russians around Avdiivka

Overstress Putin or Kremlin’s establishment a trigger a downward spiral in Russian military readiness, Ukrainian forces need to kill or main 100,000 Russian troops in 2024, according to a recent assessment: Estonian defense ministry.

Putin wanted  to eat up Uzbekistan’s foreign ministry has summoned the Russian ambassador over a call by a Russian politician to annex the former Soviet republic, The Russian nationalist writer Zakhar Prilepin, who is co-chair of the A Just Russia – For Truth party, said this week he believed Russia should annex Uzbekistan and other countries whose citizens travelled en masse to Russia for work. Else they Putin cannot eat up Ukraine folks. They fight for 2 years to stop Putin kill as the Ukraine one to join Euro...as member.. ..Putin can be stop.

The Uzbek foreign ministry told the Russian ambassador, Oleg Malginov, on Thursday that Tashkent was “deeply concerned” about the “provocative” comments.

Malginov, in turn, said Prilepin’s comments had nothing to do with the official Kremlin position, the ministry said.

Millions of migrant labourers from formerly Soviet republics in Central Asia work in Russia, and their presence sometimes leads to economic and ethnic tensions. Russia’s annexation of Crimea and later other areas of Ukraine has caused unease among other ex-Soviet republics.
