The Ukrainian military has regained 50% of the territory seized by Russia in 2022, as well as destroying countless armoured vehicles, tanks and artillery pieces. Ukraine continues to fight back against the illegal and unprovoked invasion. 🇺🇦#StandWithUkraine🇺🇦

Well done the RWxY - Gaining an understanding of this new threat and developing countermeasures is essential in the new battle space!
#eyeinthesky counter-ISR training continues for the @WessexYeomanry with the use of drones. With their prevalence in modern theatres, the importance of the benefit and threat posed by drones cannot be understated. #futurewarfare is here. #armouredreserve @CubicDefensePL

It takes good drills, determination and robustness to operate open architecture vehicles in this weather!

Despite the Kremlin’s lie that they would not attack civilian infrastructure, Russia’s attacks have left Ukrainians in a major humanitarian crisis impacting millions of civilians. Find out how the Kremlin are building a war on lies. 👇 #WarBuiltOnLies
