Ukrainian helo pilots have shown a high degree of skill with their machines and I would bet good money that they can lob those S-13s with reasonable accuracy, especially if the target was a troop concentration and the objective was to keep the enemy's heads down while his ground forces were closing in.I have to be honest ad say that how on earth you are supposed to hit anything like that, I have no idea
0:06 what tank is that at 0:06?
Looks like a Leopard 2A4. Damned inspiring video and the Ukrainian language sounds like something Daenerys Targaryen would speak.0:06 what tank is that at 0:06?

It might be a Leopard 2 like those in the vid, but the turret looks more rounded, like a Leopard 1.

The Leo1 has been promised by the Belgiums and others, but I don't think they've been delivered yet.
My guess is they don't roll until early July. By then the UAF will have every likely Leo2 and the first Leo1s, plus more PGMs, Storm Shadows, etc.Go get em boys! Rid your lands of the orc.

Me too. There are 527 days until the POTUS election. Those 17.5 months represent a potentially-limited window for Ukraine to liberate as much as they can. I hope Zelenskyy has been well briefed on what happens to Ukraine support if the Nov 2024 elections go another way. With this in mind, I would like to see the UAF big push to launch asap.I hope they move sooner, if possible.

And once the taps have been opened, it's very difficult to shut them off.Just a brief note regarding elections: it's Congress that holds the purse strings, not the President.
As it stands, the U.S. has budgeted aid to Ukraine through 2024.

But think of the costs of a full-on conflict. NATO is fighting a proxy war with Russia right now. As costly as it is, far less so than WWIII.It's about actual cash in the cooler. If we default on loans in the next week, the future loans to pay for the legally-appropriated aid to Ukraine may not be secure. It's one thing for Congress to say "we're authorized to borrow this much money to help Ukraine", but if in the meantime we've defaulted on existing loans, there's no saying that money will be forthcoming. Probably will, but at higher interest rates and shorter terms, both of which can affect further aid packages because less money is available.
Nudging into the political and need to back away so forgive me if I don't pursue this train of thought further.
