Sparta btln dropping munitions on Ukrainian infantry in the tree-line, near Opytnoe. This is allegedly the aftermath of a failed Ukrainian attack.
Операторы "Спарты" охотятся на уцелевших ВСУшников в лесопосадках после провала контратаки ВСУ в районе Опытного (Донецкое направление). Можно отметить (уже не первый раз), что в "Спарте" операторы очень точно кидают бомбы с дронов. Мастерство растет. Источник: https://t.me/zhogaartem

Ukrainian casualties after a failed recent attack in Donetsk area. Note, we have a BMP-3 and a XA-180 that hit landmines. We recently had a video where a BMP-3 was leading a column of XA-180s, with an M-113 in the shot, but they looked like they were getting hit by artillery, though admittedly that's not confirmed.

Mobilized personnel in Kalinigrad firing Khrizantema ATGMs. Note, this is very questionable. The Khrizantema is extremely scarce in Russian service, and production is ~1 btln every 2 years, i.e. a snails pace. Undoubtedly it could be increased, but it's still a very rare system. So what's the training value of practicing on it? Presumably Shturm-S systems are available for mobilized personnel, but even that's no guarantee. They were training on MT-12s in the Far East, so...

Belarus.
High activity from Belarussian army units continues, with Osa-AKM moving around in Bobruysk.
Recent exercises in Belarus have revealed up-armored vehicles. This is a questionable practice in wartime, why they're doing this in peacetime is unclear. The BMP-2 in particular has up-armor kits for it already available, and if they don't like the Russian option, they could certainly design their own, it's not that complicated.
