Ukraine is in great need of more air-launched stand-off munitions and ones that can be used without foreign restrictions.

I say again, anyone remember the press trashing this thing whilst under development?

The press trashes everything - sensationalism sells.

They were justified with the M3 Seargent York project, though, since the system ran into far too many issues to be resolved.

Had the M3 worked out, it would have been a great asset for Ukraine.

Edited to correct the "M" number - more details in the post below.

While "press" (not a monolith) trashes quite a few programs, parts of it --like AvWeek -- are also fanbois and never reveal flaws.

Too often, program managers aren't hard asses when they should be.

Actually, I typoed the M2 part - the Sergeant York was to be part of the Battlefield Component System, and was to be the M3, deployed with the M2 Bradley (M723) and M1 Abrams (M815).

Since the M242 failed to be incorporated into the BCS, the Scouting Bradley variant assumed the M3 designation.
 
Things might be starting to change around Pokrovsk where Russia has been making some worrying gains in the last few months. Lets hope it isn't a false dawn.

Ukrainian defense forces are conducting counterattacks near Pokrovsk, where Russian forces have been advancing for an extended period with continuous assaults. Reinforcements could assist the Ukrainian Armed Forces in altering the trend of the enemy's approach towards the city, reports Forbes.

According to the American edition, certain counterattacks near Pokrovsk may involve at least the Kara-Dag Brigade of the Ukrainian National Guard, the 12th Azov Brigade, and the 93rd Mechanized Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Their actions have resulted in either slowing down or slightly pushing back the Russian forces in this sector.
