The RPG-16 began to appear in
service with Russian occupant units.

This grenade launcher was adopted in the
1970s and was mainly used by paratroopers

and special forces. While having good accuracy,
it quickly ceased to meet modern requirements.

In particular, it had poor armor penetration
and very quickly became inferior to RPG-7.

As a result, the grenade launcher was written
off as not meeting modern requirements.

However, the war in Ukraine seems to have depleted
Russian forces' resources and reserves to such an

extent that the long-forgotten RPG-16
began to be retrieved from the depots.

Separately, the grenade launcher is quite good
against firing points, but completely useless

against modern tanks, especially if we are talking
about the prospect of the Leopard 2 appearing in

the combat zone. It's like a mosquito bite to an
elephant. It is certainly better than nothing,

but it is interesting to observe the
gradual degradation of the Russian army.

Every week the AFU (although slowly) gets more
and more new weapons (Rheinmetal has even passed

some experimental wunderwaffle),
and every week the occupants get

more and more old and worn out junk from
mothballs. That is, the trend is positive.

Regarding the destruction of the Russian frontline
bomber Su-34 a few days ago near Yenakijeve...

I would like to remind you that
temporarily occupied Yenakijeve

is more than 25 km away from the frontline.

That is to say the destruction of this aircraft
was carried out through the air defense system.

No mobile sabotage and reconnaissance group armed

with a man-portable air-defense system could
have penetrated so deeply behind enemy lines.

For its part, Russian aviation had
been using the safe rear for strikes

on AFU positions with air-to-surface
missiles with a range of up to 30 km.

However, it seems that now the rear area up to
30 km is no longer safe for Russian aviation,

and this strongly reminds me of the appearance
of M142 HIMARS in the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

After all, these MLRSs forced the occupants
to adapt to a kill radius of up to 80 km,

which had a negative impact on
their command and control system.

Now the Russians are trying to compensate for the
lack of ground weapons, in particular artillery,

at the expense of aviation. If the destruction
of the Su-34 in the area of Yenakijeve is not an

isolated case but a harbinger of the systemic
capabilities of the Armed Forces of Ukraine,

then it can be considered another
negative for the Russian forces.

This, in turn, will lead to another chain of
restrictions on capabilities in offense and

defense, as the use of aviation outside of a
30-kilometer zone will have a significantly

lesser effect due to the limited range
of available weapons and their scarcity.

In the last video I showed kilometer-long
lines of defense on the Crimean coast,

which the enemy is hurriedly building. And
now the AFU General Staff reports that in

the political and economic center of Crimea, the
city of Simferopol, the occupation authorities

have begun to form "volunteer brigades" to assist
the police, because they fear guerrilla actions.

Considering that the police are already in short
supply all over Russia, because many were sent to

the front lines, and there they were "taken care
of" by the Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers. Now

is the time to start waking up and organizing
protest movements. It would only take a desire.
