The cost of Shahed-136 for Russia has been reported

A group of hackers from the Prana Network hacked into the mail servers of the Iranian company IRGC Sahara Thunder, which contained an array of data on the production of Shahed-136 loitering munitions for Russia.

The Prana Network hacker group hacked the mail servers of the Iranian company IRGC Sahara Thunder, which contained an array of data on the production of Shahed-136 loitering munitions for Russia.

The data was published online.…

At the same time, the cost of sale, that is, the price at which they will be transferred to the customer, will be RUB 14.9 million ($165.5 thousand). This gap is probably due to the mortgaged payments for linear production, additional costs, and investments in the enterprise….

According to other published documents, at least part of Russia’s financial transactions and payments with Iran are made in gold.

For example, in February 2023, the Alabuga Machinery organization transferred 2,067,795 grams of gold bullion to the Iranian shell company Sahara Thunder, presumably as payment for services and goods.
Isn't publishing online counter productive? They will plug the hole.

US and Greece are working on a deal to transfer 60 Bradley's to Ukraine, there is a loophole where the President can donate equipment to countries I believe, and they are working on donating some stuff Greece may need, heck maybe even Bradley's in exchange for them donating the items they have...same goes for Ecuador.

The latest picture of Myria Progress has been made and one hopes the removed parts are being worked on.

In your opinion, how many rounds would you say is enough to put into a dugout you neither know the size of, nor how many people it may contain?

It's easy to criticise when it's not you doing the trench clearing.

My understanding is there is a second airframe so presumably they are looking at the wreck to salvage parts for that. I doubt this airframe is salvageable?

A Bradley hits an anti tank mine, manages to back up a bit, expend their ammo at the target then abandon it.

Inside a YPR-765 when it is hit, the other one retreats and the crew of the first leave on foot.

​​​​​​​Two of the five missiles fired by Russian forces at Kharkiv in the morning were North Korean KN-23, by preliminary conclusions - Serhii Bolvinov, head of the regional police investigation department. He showed a photo of the fragments.

"The metal fragments of the ballistic missiles were collected by explosives experts on the territory of the industrial zone. Preliminary conclusions of experts are that these are North Korean HVASON 11GA (KN-23) missiles," he wrote.

Russia and the DPRK officially deny supplying ballistic missiles for use by the Kremlin in the war in Ukraine.
