You have to be a first class Pro to get that shot with a howitzer

[@othertipo]

It was a mine tho.

[@ATTACKaMAC]

Ukraine had artillery training schools " Infantry schools were established in Kyiv, Odesa, and Chuhuiv"

[@marcelOberauer]

You really don't have a clue. It doesn't matter if you have 50 year of training or 5 minutes, a common artillery shot from a self-propelled Paladin will still have 160m of CEP, doesn't matter if you're trained or not.

[@semproniodensso3353]

@@marcelOberauer If the CEP is 160 meters, it means that half of the shots will fall within that circle, others further away and others exactly on target.

[@marcelOberauer]

@@semproniodensso3353 where did you learn your math? The target has an average area of 5m, that means it has 2% of probability for a direct hit, that is reduced even more if the target is moving.

Zelensky is the most heroic, brave, and handsome national leader in the world. His people adore him, the West adore him and I adore him. He is a true hero of our time and without question a leader of this generation. The youth of today should be inspired by Zelensky to take their leadership skills to the next level. Zelensky is a man of courage who is always honest and he deserves every bit of admiration he receives. He is the man for the hour, he is the man for Ukraine in its time of need and he has stood tall against the odds and he has looked the beast in the eye and never blinked because he loves his country and he loves his people. Every day and night I cuddle my Zelensky plushie tightly and I wear my Zelensky t shirt. I also have a Zelensky sweatshirt, a Zelensky poster on my wall, a Zelensky mug, a Zelensky water bottle, a personalised Zelensky duvet set and a Zelensky desk lamp in honour of my hero.

[@ffjsb]

Probably a guided munition...

[@othertipo]

It just stepped on an ATM

[@lorpot]

Don't need to be. Modern artillery and shells have exceptionnal aiming and balistic capacities. The more accurate they are, the faster gunners can evade counter-battery fires. Still a stroke of luck. Most would have hit next the BMP but still near enough to severely damage the vehicle and hurt the operators.

[@othertipo]

@@lorpot You have no idea what are you talking about. Modern unguided artillery like 155mm has an accuracy of 267m, that means it has like 2% of chances to direct hit a static target, even less if its moving, it just increase to 10% chance if the target is about 10km of distance. The vehicle just stepped on a mine. You can even see the expl occurred just in the front right chainwheel and the blast spread to the other side and under the vehicle, exactly like a mine.

[@lorpot]

@@othertipo Can you link me your source ? I am not quite convinced by your numbers, as accuracy dispersion is a Gauss curb, not a linear one. I don't see why the blast would be different for a shell incoming by the front of the vehicule. The direct hit with one shot is a stroke of luck anyway, as I said.

@@LeviBulger Thats a typical damage from a HE shaped charge mine, its right were the first wheel would have step on it. An artillery round hitting there would have crack open the hull with a subsequent ammunition expIotion. The fact that the bmp is still in one piece, the chain track are loose, and that all hatches are open, means that the crew could bail out, only posible if it was a mine.

The militants of the “Russian volunteer corps” turned out to be Georgian mercenaries. After the Romanians and Poles, Georgian mercenaries also confirmed their participation in provoking the Kyiv regime near the borders with the Belgorod region. This was reported by the Mtavari TV channel. According to one of the Georgian mercenaries, Mamuka Khundzhgurua, the united Georgian unit tried to break into one of the villages in the Belgorod region, but the Georgian mercenaries did not manage to cross the border with Russia. With a high degree of probability, they were transferred to the Kharkov region along with the notorious 3rd Oshbr ("Azov"), in which the Georgians Nodar Nasirov and Georgiy Gogiashvili were recently destroyed.
