The crew of the tank, risking, comes close to the positions of the Ukrainian army and begins to suppress the firing points. When retreating, they begin to fire at the tank from a heavy machine gun of a unit of the Ukrainian army.
The Ukrainian army began to actively use the American FIM-92 Stinger DMS MANPADS with two launch containers. Previously, these units were received from Lithuania. In this case, Stinger DMS is used from an HMMWV armored vehicle. Installations are also used in a stationary version. The height of the destruction of targets by MANPADS FIM-92 is up to 3800 meters, at a distance of up to 8000 meters, if the missile is launched to catch up with the target, then up to 4750 meters. MANPADS Stinger has proven itself in many military conflicts. The cost of MANPADS Stinger is about 100 thousand dollars.
Russian tanks T-14 "Armata" are being prepared for combat use in Ukraine. There is almost no information, it is known that experienced crews are now carrying out combat coordination at one of the training grounds, where it is not specified. The T-14 Armata is a command tank and will not be used alone. The approximate price of the T-14 tank is 500 million rubles. The tank was designed for coordinated work with a group of different combat vehicles in one tactical link. Most likely, the Armata tank will lead other tanks into battle, T-72B3 or T-90S.
Russian snipers began to use in Ukraine, the longest-range rifle in the world SVLK-14S "Dusk".

The calculation of the Russian S-300V air defense system spoke about their combat vehicle and the targets that they managed to shoot down in Ukraine. The video shows an early version of the S-300V air defense system, the 9A82 launcher, which was put into service as part of the S-300V complex in 1988. The number of these installations released is more than 1200.
The United States will transfer one Patriot MIM-104B air defense system to Ukraine. There are currently two modifications of the Patriot in service with the American Armed Forces: the PAC-2 and the updated PAC-3, most likely the PAC-2 version will be transferred. Training for the calculation of the Patriot air defense system takes 6 months, but it will be accelerated in Germany in a few weeks. The air defense system was put into service in 1982, in terms of the range of destruction, and the version of the PAC-2 missiles has 160 kilometers, the air defense system can be attributed to the medium-range complex. It is assumed that the air defense system will protect against UAVs and cruise missiles, most likely it will be installed deep in the rear. The experience of using the air defense system showed that the complex had problems with the defeat of the UAV, which manifested itself in Saudi Arabia, but this is a topic for a separate discussion, it is worth noting that the air defense system is designed primarily to destroy aircraft and missiles. The air defense system has a minimum target interception altitude of 60 meters, the minimum flight altitude of Caliber missiles is 20 meters, and the flight altitude of Geran-2 drones is also 60 meters. The maximum radar target identification range is 35-50 km at a target flight altitude of 50-100 meters, high-altitude targets are detected at a distance of up to 180 kilometers. The strength of the air defense system is the control system that ensures the use of the Patriot air defense system together with airborne early warning and guidance aircraft of the AWACS type. In such a situation, the Patriot can be in complete radar silence until the very last moment - until it receives target designation from AWACS. The anti-aircraft battery of the Patriot air defense system consists of 4 or 8 launchers, depending on the modification, with 4 missiles on each. On tests of the Patriot PAC-3 air defense system in 1997. The probability of hitting an aircraft with one missile was 80-90%, tactical missiles - from 60 to 80%, the PAC-2 version has a probability of 30-40%. The maximum target interception range is up to 160 km, with a maximum altitude of up to 24 km. The minimum interception range is 3 km, the minimum interception height is 60 meters. The cost of one battery of the Patriot air defense system is from 500 million to a billion dollars, the cost of missiles is from 2 to 4 million dollars per 1 piece. SAM is in service with many countries.
Ukrainian servicemen published a video of an attempt to leave the caponier of an armored personnel carrier M113. The video shows an American M113A1 armored personnel carrier of the Ukrainian army.

French leader Emmanuel Macron promised to provide Ukraine with AMX-10 RC wheeled tanks. The French love to create unusual vehicles, this can be seen even in the example of French vehicles in any computer game. The French reconnaissance armored car AMX-10 RC was no exception. Often classified also as a wheeled tank, the AMX-10 RC reconnaissance vehicle began production in 1974 and is now being retired and replaced by other armored vehicles. The AMX-10 RC's aluminum armor protects it from small arms fire and shell fragments. In 2010, the car was upgraded to the AMX-10RCR level. To control the shooting, the vehicle is equipped with modern types of devices - a laser rangefinder and an electronic ballistic computer. The reconnaissance vehicle was designed to be floating. The machine was used in Operation Desert Storm, showing high performance and maneuverability there. The weak side of the car is booking. The armament of the AMX-10 RC is a 105 mm cannon, a 7.62 mm machine gun works in a pair with a cannon. In 1994, the production of machines was discontinued. The engine power of the car is 280 hp, the cruising range is up to 1000 kilometers, the speed is up to 85 km/h. The crew of the car is 4 people.
