Ukraine's snipers have largely ditched their classic camouflage as modern warfare forced them to adapt, but these rifles get the job done.

The main guns haven't had any ammunition for years, so the US Navy's trying something new: a launcher for state-of-the-art super missiles.

Russia's rigged the battlefield with all sorts of terrors, and among them are deadly exploding traps, the commander told The New York Times.

In its opening counteroffensive punch, Ukraine's commanders bet big on a new strategy that its less experienced troops couldn't land.

The supersonic Kh-22 anti-ship missile was built to be a carrier killer, but Russia is using them to hit urban areas packed with civilians.

These horrific threats are just one of the many challenges standing in the way of Ukraine's counteroffensive to retake its territory.

"This is an infantryman's fight," an expert who recently returned from Ukraine said. "Progress is measured by yards/meters."

In an unrelated meeting, Putin suddenly brought up revolutions, repeating his argument that Russia exhausted how many times its citizens can revolt.

He says the biggest threat shaping the war in Ukraine right now is land mines, and Russia's laid millions of them.

Almost no one knew Chuck Mawhinney had the most confirmed kills of any sniper in Marine Corps' history until decades after the Vietnam War.
