The 2S19 MSTA-S SPH is a self-propelled howitzer. From the size of the explosion it must have had a good bit of ammunition with it.

Interesting that Ukraine has started using JDAMS on Russian trenches.

x The UkrAF has started using JDAM guided gliding bombs on Russian trench positions in the Zaporizhia AO. The predominance of videos I have seen of this weapon being deployed has been against hard points like buildings housing command posts, communications nodes, ammunition, etc.… pic.twitter.com/O8q2Ik9se6 — OSINT (Uri) 🇺🇦 (@UKikaski) August 28, 2023

It’s gone from rare to really rare.

x ⚡️Ukrainian military for the first time destroyed a rare Russian electronic warfare system "Svet-KU" behind enemy lines.



The video was posted by Yaroslav "Loki" OliInyk, an advisor to the Minister of Strategic Industries.



According to him, “Svet-KU” has been spotted in Ukraine… pic.twitter.com/7VGeSmGixK — FLASH (@Flash_news_ua) August 28, 2023

The Predel-E is Russia’s fancy new coastal radar system costing an estimated $200 million. Now it’s junk.

x #Ukraine: A Russian "Predel" coastal defense over-the-horizon radar station was destroyed by a GMLRS strike of the Ukrainian army in Zaliznyi Port, #Kherson Oblast.



This is the first confirmed loss of this very modern system. pic.twitter.com/ztPDp8EJiv — 🇺🇦 Ukraine Weapons Tracker (@UAWeapons) August 28, 2023

A Ukrainian MiG-29 takes out a Russian Orlan surveillance drone.

x YouTube Video

This is unbelievable.

Two Russian soldiers near Tokmak are broken down on the side of the road. They have a small child with them. Another vehicle comes along. They get in and drive off, leaving the child behind and a weapon leaning against the vehicle. And what are two soldiers doing with a small child anyway?

This video is from a drone, which didn’t bomb the Russians because of the child.

x This drone footage of Russian soldiers with a child near Tokmak, Zaporizhzhia region, raises so many questions...



The city is almost on the contact line. pic.twitter.com/cTdLYVvTtK — Oriannalyla 🇺🇦 (@Lyla_lilas) August 28, 2023

Another careless smoker.

This is very disappointing.

x The Pope told about the Russian people that they are the "heirs of a great empire".



"Never forget your heritage. You are the heirs of the great Russia: the great Russia of saints, rulers, the great Russia of Peter I, Catherine II, that empire - great, educated, great culture… pic.twitter.com/1cpLpjDBl4 — NOELREPORTS 🇪🇺 🇺🇦 (@NOELreports) August 28, 2023

"Never forget your heritage. You are the heirs of the great Russia: the great Russia of saints, rulers, the great Russia of Peter I, Catherine II, that empire - great, educated, great culture and great humanity. And thank you. Thank you for your way of being, for your way of being Russian," the Pope said.

He who lives by the sledgehammer …

x "This sledgehammer can be used to beat the stupidity out of officials' heads," - a Russian governor presented a new mayor with a sledgehammer at inauguration in Perm.



As I said, the sledgehammer has become one of the symbols of the "Russian world". pic.twitter.com/G1O7uyc2Yy — Anton Gerashchenko (@Gerashchenko_en) August 28, 2023

I suppose there concern over Russia’s war crimes had a shelf life of only 16 months.

x The International Esports Federation (IESF) has lifted the ban on Russian teams playing in international competitions under the national flag and with the national anthem.



The ban had been in effect since April 18, 2022. pic.twitter.com/M0nRV2FBZf — NEXTA (@nexta_tv) August 28, 2023

This is damage that might never be undone.

Be sure to have the sound on for this.

x "I didn't dream about the Maldives, a car, a house or fame. The greatest happiness for me then was at least one more dawn. Another. To live until the morning. To see the sun. Again.



Since then, the value has not changed radically, but it has changed and taken root in my… https://t.co/3gKK0tczgF pic.twitter.com/449EgAZg0Q — Oriannalyla 🇺🇦 (@Lyla_lilas) August 28, 2023
