Go ahead and miss that point.
A top Russian general has been killed amid bitter fighting in Ukraine in what represents a major blow to the Russian invasion.
Major General Andrey Sukhovetsky, who was the deputy commander of the 41st Combined Arms Army of Russia's Central Military District, died yesterday as Ukrainian defence forces repelled the Russian offensive.
His death has not yet been officially confirmed by Russia's Ministry of Defence, but was announced on social media by his colleague Sergey Chipilyov and was widely reported by several Russian and Ukrainian news outlets.
A military source confirmed that he was killed 'by a sniper', and suggested a funeral for the Major General - by far the most senior Russian figure to have died in the conflict thus far - will be held in Russia on Saturday.

The founder of the Conflict Intelligence Team, Ruslan Leviev, in an interview with Current Time TV, told what the white letters V and Z mean on Russian vehicles in convoys moving towards Ukraine:
“There are several military districts in Russia. There is, for example, the Western Military District. That is, it turns to the ZVO abbreviation in Latin. Vehicles of the Western Military District are marked with the letter Z respectively. There is an Eastern Military District, that is VVO in Latin. The first letter is V. And vehicles of the Eastern Military District are marked with the letter V.
There is the Southern Military District, which most often has mountains on its chevrons. The mountain is symbolically represented by a triangle. The equipment marked with a triangle is the Southern Military District.
There are the Western Military District and the Eastern Military District, and between them in the middle is the Central Military District. We divide in the middle then we will get such a diagonal line - it is the Central Military District.
It is not our assumption, this is what the soldiers themselves, who are on the border, told us that the designation of the equipment was explained to them in this way. At the same time, it is possible that the troops of the Western Military District were assigned the task of advancing in a certain direction, while the troops of the Southern Military District were assigned the task of advancing in another direction. This is quite possible. But in fact, we see now, and several soldiers told us about it, that the designations simply identify a military district.”

The weird-looking structure on top of the turret is supposedly there to defeat Javelin ATM.

Exactly what I was thinking: the breathless media promotion of the Javelin Missile would just induce the enemies in future conflicts to add a metal pagola/basket on top of their tanks to trigger the warhead's melted metal stream before it reaches the real tank roof.

Ka-50 and Ka-52 look very similar to each other (having twin-rotors). Ka-50 has been in production since the 1980's. Both Russia and Ukraine have them.As far as I know Ukraine doesn't have any Ka-s. What's your source?
That shit doesn't work against Javs. It's there to calm the crew's nerves. But now they know its worth.

Javelin has a tandem pair of shaped charges as the war head precisely because metal grid/mesh works at setting off those shaped charge: that's why there has to be a stage-2 (sitting in tandem behind the stage-1 part) to reach the actual tank after stage-1 is triggered by the metal grid/mesh. The counter-measure to a two-sage shaped charge is two layers of metal grid/mesh each spaced outside the tank. Then Raytheon would have to make a 3-stage warhead . . . hence see my comment above regarding flight characteristics and portability limit as stages increase.
I know the theory but there is plenty of evidence on the ground already. The stupid bedframe thingy does not protect tanks from being destroyed or disabled.Bedframes do not help if tank crews run away:
