Ukrainians still operating BTR infantry fighting vehicles in Mariupol, in areas thought to be controlled by Russia for weeks. This is the second video I have seen of Ukrainians engaging tanks with outgunned IFVs, and apparently succeeding. Huevos grandes.

This article was interesting, though of course vague. Just what sort of training US is providing not completely elucidated (nor should it be). If we're sending them Switchblade 600s that haven't even been deployed to US troops yet, perhaps we'll send some other advanced tech like the Norwegian developed Naval Strike Missile which is in limited US deployment. Though sinking the whole Russian Black Sea fleet would perhaps be more capability than the US wants Ukraine to have. Tricky tightrope US/NATO have to walk- if they give them all the goodies and Ukraine is feeling themselves and tries to retake Crimea and the Donbas separatist republics, chances for Russian escalation to tactical nukes goes up too.
