MARDER: German Predator On The Battlefield of Russia-Ukraine War

A German Marder IFV enters the grey zone under constant drone threat. Electronic warfare interference, mines, FPV strikes, Baba Yaga UAVs, and direct fire — this mission shows what modern armored warfare really looks like. The crew pushes forward in bad weather, guided by their own UAV, while Russian EW disrupts communications. Ice-covered roads turn movement into a gamble. The 20 mm cannon opens fire at the treeline, burning through ammunition in minutes. Retreat is just as dangerous as the assault.

Later, Marder fights alongside Bradley and Stryker during a chaotic frontline attack. Drones pick their targets one by one. Some vehicles fall back. Others keep pushing. One Marder enters combat without anti-drone armor, relying only on EW, timing, and nerve.

This story shows how an aging German IFV survives, supports infantry, and keeps fighting in a battlefield dominated by drones and precision strikes. Old design, modern war, real consequences.

HIMARS - bringing destruction and death to the enemy

The already-legendary HIMARS has become one of the most feared weapons of this war — fast, precise, and devastating. In this report, Ukrainian journalists join a HIMARS crew on a real combat mission in the Donetsk region, witnessing how the system operates under real frontline conditions.

The crew explains how they were trained, how missions are executed in minutes, and why speed and mobility make HIMARS nearly impossible to destroy. From striking ammunition depots deep in the rear to hitting moving targets like S-300 convoys, these launches directly reduce pressure on Ukrainian infantry and artillery at the front.

This is a rare look at a weapon that changed the course of the war — and the soldiers who use it.

TRUMP: RUSSIA WANTS UKRAINE TO SUCCEED

This statement stands in stark contrast to the daily reality of missile strikes, drone attacks, and the continued occupation of Ukrainian territory.

Actually, it should be "Trump wants Russia to succeed."

In this video, we analyze why Trump is adopting this specific "Advocacy" rhetoric—speaking for the Kremlin rather than interpreting American interests. We break down the danger of this narrative, which frames the aggressor as a benevolent neighbor, and what it signals about the concessions being prepared behind closed doors.

'Putin has played Trump magnificently' | Sir Mark Lyall Grant on strikes at Putin’s residence

Putin’s claim of an attack on his residence is a “very worrying development”, as it gives him the opportunity to turn Trump against Zelenskyy once more, says former National Security Adviser Sir Mark Lyall Grant.

Trump's a credulous fool. "I learned about irtfrom President Putin."

VALDAY PUTIN’S TRICKS EXPOSED: WHAT REALLY HAPPENED

Nearly a day has passed, and Russia has still provided no credible evidence to support its accusations that Ukraine allegedly attacked the residence of Russian President Vladimir Putin, according to a statement by Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha. No photos or videos provided, a nearby airport, Pulkovo, continued working, silent local telegram chats and no official reports of the russian ministry of defense, just Lavrov bragging.

Why Real and Meaningful Security Guarantees from the USA Are NOW Impossible

This video breaks down the "Commitment Problem" within the Bargaining Model of War to explain why 2025 marks the end of meaningful security pacts. We analyze why rising powers no longer find Western promises credible and how shifting domestic politics in the U.S. and EU makes long-term treaties strategically "cheap talk." If a guarantee doesn't change the underlying incentive to fight, it isn't a guarantee—it's a provocation.

- Trump has also come down firmly on the side of Putin - which is problematic for any security guarantees, essentially making any USA security guarantee worthless.

Ukraine Knocked Out the Power in Moscow

Ukraine has successfully knocked out the power in Moscow, giving residents of Russia's capital the experience that Ukrainians have endured for 4 years. Russia claims that Ukraine attempted to assassinate Putin by attacking his residence with 91 drones. However Russia has provided no evidence for this attack and none is appearing on social media.

Russia's Cruise Missiles Meet Ukraine's SKYNEX!

Germany’s Skynex air-defense system is now FULLY DEPLOYED in Ukraine, and in this video I explain why this final delivery quietly changes the air war yet again. Skynex is a drone-hitting workhorse built to survive saturation attacks and protect critical infrastructure when Russia throws everything it has at the grid.

09:24 Now, Germany is working on SKYNEX 2.0!

I break down how Skynex’s 35mm Oerlikon, AHEAD programmable ammunition, AESA radar, and digital battle-management system are already shredding Shaheds and why early reports of cruise-missile interceptions matter so much for Ukraine’s layered air defense. This is about cost, scale, and closing the final gap in Ukraine’s defensive shield.

If you want clear, no-hype analysis on what’s actually working on the battlefield, hit subscribe. It helps me push back on Russian disinformation.

Glory to Ukraine. Glory to the heroes. Crimea is Ukraine.

Ukraine had a GREAT Night

Ukraine simply menaced Russia last night, hitting them hard here, there and everywhere. It's one heck of a list.

The drone saturation of Russian airspace represents a fundamental shift in the cost-exchange ratio of the conflict. By deploying low-cost, high-precision assets against concentrated high-value targets, Ukraine is forcing a mathematical crisis for Russian logistics. This strategy doesn't just damage hardware; it renders traditional defensive doctrines obsolete, creating a strategic vacuum that Russia is currently unable to fill.

Ex-Australian Abrams tanks enter the fight just as Ukraine launches a decisive push in northern Pokrovsk

Today, there are important updates from the Pokrovsk direction.

Here, great logistics and on-the-road preparations allowed Ukrainians to avoid any delay and start using the devastating firepower of newly delivered Australian tanks immediately. The Abrams are among Ukraine’s top tanks in service, and they arrived just in time, as Ukraine’s defense of northern Pokrovsk received one of the biggest boosts possible to counter the nonstop Russian assaults.

Australia has recently completed the delivery of all 49 Abrams main battle tanks to Ukraine, marking one of the most significant recent reinforcements of Ukraine’s armored forces. The first 37 tanks arrived earlier in the summer, while the final 12 have now reached their destination after a complex, globe-spanning logistical operation. Australian Army crews escorted the vehicles by sea to Europe, with five servicemen spending 55 days aboard a cargo vessel to ensure the tanks arrived intact. Once in Poland, the Abrams were transferred to a secure facility, where weapons systems, optics, engines, and mobility components were thoroughly checked and prepared for immediate combat use, ensuring this was not an aid for the future but a delivery meant for rapid battlefield integration.

The Abrams did not wait long to find their place at the front, as Ukrainian tank crews had already been trained and assigned, several of the vehicles embarked for frontline units, including the Skala Assault Regiment operating at Pokrovsk.

The Australian Abrams entered the fight during a critical phase of the battle for Pokrovsk, where Ukrainian forces are conducting counterattacks to keep Russian troops south of the railway line and prevent them from breaking out, which would cut off withdrawal operations from Myrnohrad. The Ukrainian operation was carefully structured, with Abrams tanks moving forward alongside infantry fighting vehicles, acting as both shield and hammer. The primary task of the tanks was to suppress Russian firing points with their main cannons, draw enemy drone attention, and create corridors for the Ukrainian BMPs to advance. Under the Abrams’ cover, the BMP’s pushed toward the outskirts of Pokrovsk, dismounted assault troops, and secured key positions that had previously been under heavy Russian pressure.

The presence of Abrams tanks changed the tactical balance, forcing Russians to react to the heavily armored targets rather than focusing exclusively on infantry and lighter vehicles. This bought Ukrainian assault teams crucial minutes to entrench and stabilize the line, securing the vital industrial district before Russians could gain a foothold. During the operation, one Abrams was damaged by Russian drones. Despite several later attempts to detonate it with FPV drones, the Russians only managed to inflict fire damage to it, which can potentially result in the evacuation of the vehicle at a later stage under the cover of fog. Crucially, the crew survived and withdrew safely, as confirmed by the footage of the open hatches of the tank, preserving trained personnel.

This engagement fits into the broader picture of the Pokrovsk–Myrnohrad sector, with Russian forces continuing to press forward with repeated assaults and infiltration attempts, while Ukrainian units respond with layered defenses and local counterattacks. On some days, Ukrainian officials report stopping more than 30 Russian attacks in this sector alone. Despite these Russian efforts and the persistent claims of full control over Pokrovsk, Ukrainian troops continue to hold the northern districts, disrupting enemy movements with drones, artillery, and now renewed armored support.

This forced the Russian command to keep their attention split between Pokrovsk and Myrnohrad, as multiple Russian units attempted to gain a foothold in the northern part of the town. Their efforts have so far failed to produce decisive breakthroughs, largely due to urban terrain, constant Ukrainian drone surveillance, and heavy losses. Ukrainian reinforcements, including rapidly deployed special forces, have already significantly salvaged the situation, even as logistics remain under pressure, as moments to withdraw are not found, but actively created.

Overall, the arrival of the Australian Abrams tanks at this precise moment carries weight beyond their numbers. They entered combat just as Ukraine launched counterattacks to prevent northern Pokrovsk from falling and to blunt Russian narratives of inevitable victory...
