☆ Ukraine could have modified its anti-ship missiles into a long-range weapon to wreak havoc against Russian targets on land, report says
  + stars: | 2023-09-03 | by ( Rebecca Rommen | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +4 min
A modified R-360 Neptune anti-ship cruise missile may be Ukraine's new long-range missile. The new weapon reportedly destroyed a Russian S-400 "Triumf" missile system in Crimea. Ukraine developed the weapon after Western states were reluctant to supply long-range missiles. Ukraine claimed that the new, domestically designed missile system destroyed Putin's highly-prized Russian S-400 "Triumf" missile system in Crimea last month. The report said the cheap cost and large supply of the bombs meant they could be used extensively in the conflict.

☆ Russia's new 'sea of fire' tactic makes it even more treacherous for Ukraine to clear minefields, report says
  + stars: | 2023-09-02 | by ( George Glover | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +2 min
It's becoming even more dangerous to clear minefields in Ukraine, according to the New York Times. Russians are dropping grenades from drones to create a "sea of fire and explosions," per the outlet. Dense minefields and fortifications have slowed down its troops and have resorted to a "village by village, house by house" approach to retaking the south, the NYT reported. Western tanks have struggled to break through the minefields, and Ukraine's generals have switched to using Ukrainian infantry units to push back the well-dug-in Russian occupiers methodically. While the White House believes that Ukraine has made "notable progress" against Russia's second line of defense in the south over the past 72 hours, its soldiers are now set to encounter more minefields, according to one think tank.
