1:06 is just brutal. They're Russians, yeah, but seeing flying death coming towards you like that and not being able to do anything about it except covering yourself in vain? RIP.
Worse is a lot of them are mobiks i.e. 'ablative armor' and space filler supporting and taking the hits for the actual combat units.
Pilots eligible for training on the F-16 Platform are being identified and Europe is working on a training plan for them with eleven countries to be involved in said operation which will presumably take place in Denmark and Romania.

Yesterday Ukrainian Air Force struck the Chongar Bridge links between Southern Ukraine and Crimea with Storm Shadow cruise missiles. Allegedly Russia attempted to destroy the airbase these Ukrainian Su-24's were operating out of the previous night using numerous guided missiles including hypersonic Kinzahls but failed to eliminate their target.

Yesterdays strike was apparently a double tap, where you strike a facility and than strike it again to maximize first responder and emergency personnel casualties, helping explain the large number and proportion of emergency personnel killed and wounded in the strikes.

The combined amounts pledged over delivered excluding engineering and recovery vehicles is probably a smidgen over 200 Leopard 1A5's IIRC at the moment
Greece and Turkey still use them en masse. Sure, they don't have the armor of modern MBTs, but they often come with better electronics than many Russian tanks, and if they kill the enemy first, the armor is not that much of an issue.

A total creep
Still have in stock, you mean.
I take a dim view of the Leo1's survivability if not used as an APC with a Big Gun.
1. Any tank is better than no tank.
2. If Ukrainian tactics and strategy does its job, generally, the main threat to these tanks will be mines, which no tank handles particularly well.
3. Even if tactics and strategy fails... well... we haven't seen many tank duels compared to minefields, drones and dialed in artillery.
4. This war has been a bonanza for any country looking to unload its old stuff at ever better prices. MICs worldwide are making bank.
5. Biggest issue with Leo1's IMO is Ukraine having to deal with the logistics of fielding such an old design that was built with a VERY obsolete design philosophy in mind compared to their T series tanks.
How is it worse at that than literally any armored vehicle other than last generation MBTs?
A regular recoilless rifle is going to turn that into a pincushion.
No old IFV or APC has as much (unless you count MBT based ones like Namer), some newer ones have something close, and those are close in weight to it.
There's also the fairly common MEXAS add-on armor kit for them that may be included that takes it beyond that.

Russia reportedly plans on establishing at least twenty five more prison colonies and six more detention centers in occupied Ukraine and across Russia, capable of 'serving' many more Ukrainian civilians who have no apparent legal status in Russia. Due to the establishment of martial law, Ukrainians are able to be imprisoned for almost any offense, real, imagined or exaggerated including speaking the Ukrainian language. The United Nations has documented over seventy cases of Ukrainian civilians being executed by Russian liberators (pdf).
AP News report is based on interviews with twenty former civilian detainees, freed prisoners of war, intelligence officials, prison negotiators as well as social media posts, satellite imagery, and government documentation delivered by the International Red Cross.
