Details about the French VAB armored vehicle of the Ukrainian army. The armored vehicle was developed by Renault and Savier in 1976 and was produced in different versions. The VAB 4x4 version armed with a 12.7 mm M2 Browning machine gun was delivered to Ukraine. VAB armor provides protection only from 7.62 mm bullets, for which the car has been repeatedly criticized. There was also a weak protection against mines. The crew of the car is 2 people, the landing force is 10 people. Armored vehicle engine power - 300 hp The maximum speed on the highway is 110 km / h. Fuel range is about 1000 km. The armored car in various modifications is in service with about 15 countries.
Powerful defensive lines with the help of engineering equipment are created by the Russian PMC Wagner in Ukraine. Engineering units of PMC Wagner installed concrete tetrahedrons, anti-tank gouges, ditches and trenches were dug. Firing positions for infantry and equipment were created, and mining of the territory was probably carried out on the approaches to the defense line.
The Ukrainian army began to use the English counter-battery system MAMBA ARTHUR. It was reported that the MAMBA radar was supplied from England, but the experts found out that this is a similar Swedish ARTHUR radar of modification "A". The MAMBA ARTHUR radar is a mobile radar designed to determine the location of firing installations in the direction of their firing. The detection range of firing positions of 82-mm mortars is 20 km, of 120-mm mortars - up to 35 km, MLRS - up to 45 km, the accuracy of determining coordinates - up to 25 m, the system fixes - up to 100 targets per minute. Data on priority targets are transmitted to the control point in automatic or semi-automatic mode. To expand the search area, a network of four radars can be created. The radar is placed on the chassis of the Bv206 all-terrain vehicle. The cost of the ARTHUR radar, 5 million dollars.
Fight in Ukraine. Russian units, noticing a column of Ukrainian armored vehicles and firing points near the forest belt, aimed several tanks at them. UAV operators comment and correct the fire of tanks.
A series of strikes by a kamikaze Lancet drone in Ukraine. Footage of the use of the modernized loitering ammunition "Lancet" on the armored vehicles of the Ukrainian army. As reported, UAV crews of the Russian Airborne Forces worked in the Nikolaev-Krivoy Rog direction.
The Buk-M1 air defense system of the Ukrainian army was hit by a Russian kamikaze drone Lancet in the Zaporozhye region. Judging by the trenches nearby, the Buk-M1 air defense system was placed right on the front line
Footage of the impact of the Russian kamikaze drone "Lancet" in the S-300 air defense system of the Ukrainian army. Usually S-300 air defense systems are not designed to work on such small targets, it is not even economically profitable, the complex should have been covered by other air defense systems designed to work on small targets, but apparently they were not. The cost of the S-300 air defense system is about $250 million. When attacked by a drone, it was attacked by soldiers with MANPADS, but all the missiles missed.
Separate Iranian sources report that the Russian army has ordered new Arash-2 kamikaze drones from Iran. This model is more powerful than the Shahed-136 UAV, or as it is called Geran-2 in Russia. There is very little information on the Arash-2 UAV, it is known that it operates at a distance of up to 2000 kilometers and has a homing system. The UAV is a cruise missile and is capable of loitering over a target. Drone "Arash-2" is a new development of the Iranian army, perhaps its early version - "Arash-1" will be delivered to Russia.
A large-scale strike with the help of Geran-2 kamikaze drones was inflicted by the Russian army today on October 17. Prime Minister of Ukraine Denys Shmyhal said that kamikaze drones had attacked energy facilities and critical infrastructure in Kyiv. The office of the energy company Ukrenergo was also hit by Russian Geran-2 drones.
Ukrainian army units on French VAB 4×4 armored vehicles with infantry on board came under attack from Russian artillery in the Kherson region. As a result of the attack, two VAB armored vehicles were destroyed. The video also shows another destroyed armored personnel carrier, but its type could not be determined.
In Germany, at one of the railway stations, self-propelled guns Panzerhaubitze 2000 were seen. As reported, an additional batch of self-propelled guns Panzerhaubitze 2000 is being prepared for shipment to Ukraine. Also, the Ukrainian army will receive a new batch of armored vehicles and other equipment. Earlier, several repaired self-propelled guns of the same type were returned from the Baltic States to Ukraine.
Russian complex electronic warfare Leer-3 for jamming cellular communications.
Russian complex electronic warfare Leer-3 for jamming cellular communications. Footage of the operation of the Russian electronic warfare complex "Leer-3" in Ukraine. The complex is designed to suppress cellular GSM communications using drones. For the first time, the RB-341V complex was shown in 2015. The complex is located on the KamAZ-5350 chassis and is capable of jamming cellular communications at a distance of up to 120 km. The radius of the zone of blocked mobile communication terminals is 6 km, the number of blocked subscribers is 2000, the system blocks up to 3 mobile operators. Calculation of the complex 5 people. According to the military, the main task of the calculations of the Leer-3 complexes is to detect a mass congestion of cellular subscribers.
In Ukraine, they showed a homemade combat drone. The drone is designed to fight Russian UAVs, presumably Geran-2 drones. It is not clear how the drone stabilizes the sight
A new strike by the Russian Lancet drone on the launcher of the S-300 air defense system of the Ukrainian army has led to disputes among netizens. Many felt that the alleged drone strike was in a dummy launcher. We explain that this is not the case. When the drone approaches the target, the hatches of the missiles are closed on the launcher, after the impact they are torn off. Also, when magnified, you can see the tube of the hydraulic rocket lifting system. In dummies, this level of detail is never done. The explosion of rockets did not happen, apparently due to their absence in the installation.
In the fighting in Ukraine, a wide variety of weapons are used. The video shows the shooting of Luhansk military personnel from the Soviet automatic 57-mm anti-aircraft gun S-60. The S-60 gun was adopted by the USSR in 1950 and was exported to many countries of the world, where it was repeatedly used in military conflicts. A gun of this type greatly helped the North Vietnamese army during the Vietnam War. The technical rate of fire of the gun is 60-70 rounds per minute. Firing range 6000 meters.
Filming of the broken military column of the Ukrainian army was made by one of its commanders in the Kherson region. The video shows damaged French VAB 4x4 armored vehicles, British Husky TVS armored vehicles and about a dozen civilian trucks used for military transport.
Footage of the offensive of the Ukrainian army units in the Berislav direction on October 19 has been published. After Russian artillery strikes, the armored group of the Ukrainian army dispersed and retreated, having lost, according to preliminary data, a tank and abandoned the MT-LB transporter.
The Russian army captured an American M113 armored personnel carrier of the Ukrainian army. Why the armored personnel carrier was abandoned is unknown, it is reported that the armored vehicle is on the move and requires only light repairs.
An episode of the battle of Russian units in the Nikolaev-Krivoy Rog direction in Ukraine. Despite the wound, the Russian soldier with a machine gun is moving quite actively. The video has been shortened.
