Doesn't look like it but it's not doing anti-air anything for long time.
Not that it ever did.
What Russia should do it send a barrage of drones to take out the crews as well, since those can't be as easily repaired as a Gepard.

Flames only happen as a result of something cooking off, you can riddle a car with bullets and there won't be any flames at all but it's clear the car will not be going anywhere anytime soon because too many vital areas are damaged.
Not saying every hit is a kill but just because you don't see a big video game fireball doesn't mean the vehicle isn't destroyed

While nothing is confirmed yet, General Romulus, the de facto leader of the army may have resigned/been reposted/demoted for letting Polacks smuggle military capable helicopters from Polistan through Hungary to Hoholistan.
Just a rumor so far. He could have just felt too old for it and wanted to retire. Hungarian army personnel often get cushy Rheinmetal jobs.

Video from Uman. Russia is claiming Uke air defenses fucked up again and shelled themselves, I'm sure Ukraine will claim Russia launch a missile at the apartments/missed and hit the apartments

Looks like an air conditioner blew up.
I remember similar videos from Lugansk in 2014.
Look at them poor ukrops being returned home after being starved by ruzzians.. Some forgot what apples looked like, some lost 20kg after a year in captivity..
Others didn't though, for some reason. From the same batch of exchanged POWs.

I think about an unlucky trip to a supermarket away from being sent to Bakhmut.

From what I've read it has seen limited duty back from the point of contact. I have not seen any specific video or anything to corroborate that claim though. I'd be pretty worried about one being taken, even partially destroyed, if i was Russia.
Few hours old but a decent writeup of the situation as of this morning (SMO time):
Report for the Morning of 28 Apr 2023; pub. 07:00
The RF Armed Forces launched a massive missile strike against #Ukraine overnight. Geran-2 UAVs were also used. Targets in #Nikolayev, #Poltava and #Cherkasy regions and #Kiev were hit. In #Uman (Cherkasy region), a hit on a multistory building was recorded. The type of destruction does not rule out an unsuccessful attempt by Ukrainian air defense to shoot down a Russian missile.
Two oil depots in #Dnepropetrovsk have been hit. Power supply to one of the districts in #Kiev is disrupted.
#Kherson region reports that the day before a command post and personnel location in the #Berislav district was bombed by our aviation forces.

Two settlements, #Gornal and #Guevo were de-energized. Two settlements: Gornal and Guevo were deforested. Ukrainian UAVs were shot down near the NPP in #Kurchatov. Air defense intercepted all enemy drones. In the #Belgorod region, the AFU struck the village of #Shchetinovka, Belgorod district. A civilian with a shrapnel wound was taken to hospital. The shell damaged the roof of a farming enterprise, windows were broken and shrapnel cut the facade of the building. There is some damage to machinery. In #Melitopol, an improvised explosive device detonated near the entrance to an apartment building in #Zaporozhye region. The head of the Priazovsky Police Department was killed and another officer was injured. Another IED went off in #Melitopol last night, with no casualties. The enemy continues bringing troops closer to the frontline in preparation for an offensive. The LPR reported that the AFU struck Rovenki on the night of 27 April using seven Mugin-5 Pro UAVs, of which five were shot down and two detonated at an oil depot. The administrative buildings and technical premises of the oil depot have been damaged.

Here is some footage on it, though because it's pitch black, it's mostly just sounds of the explosions.The RF Armed Forces launched a massive missile strike against #Ukraine overnight. Geran-2 UAVs were also used. Targets in #Nikolayev, #Poltava and #Cherkasy regions and #Kiev were hit. In #Uman (Cherkasy region), a hit on a multistory building was recorded.

I wish a missile would strike this tranny and only this tranny. The Ukrainians assigned to protect his ass are not going to shed a tear for him either. With a bit of luck they'll get reassigned to protect some other westerner, hopefully one that is not a tranny and is less obnoxious than Michael here.

Between the various infantry units? Any combat units? Any units in the military?

The usual counterexample, as in “part of the army that is kept apart and above despite not being special forces” would be the paratroopers. You know of them even if you don’t know that’s what they are, they’re the guys in distinctive white and blue striped shirts and berets (though in combat of course they dress like other soldiers). The navy isn’t as significant a portion of the Russian military, because navies are primarily useful to empires, so unlike the US marines the paratroopers have a special focus on airborne assault. Think helicopters.

Like full branches. @snov answered what I was asking. Just trying to confirm they were the same as our marines with being the battering ram the military uses. Thanks guys.

If you had asked the question that way I would have given a different answer. The paratroopers aren’t used in that way, the artillery is.
