English armored vehicles "Saxon" AT-105 Ukraine bought a long time ago, back in 2014. The Saxon AT-105 was developed on the basis of the AT-104 police armored car and was produced from 1976 to 1995. In 2006, the British military replaced them with Warior armored vehicles. The Ukrainian army purchased 75 of these armored vehicles for 51,000 euros apiece, the vehicles were restored and sent to the troops. Saxon armored vehicles have a V-shaped bottom and good armor, which allows them to withstand shelling from weapons with a caliber of 7.62 mm. The machine can withstand a mine explosion with a capacity of up to 9 kg in TNT equivalent. In the 1990s, armored cars armed with a 7.62 mm machine gun were used in Bosnia. During operation, it turned out that the installation of a machine gun raised the center of gravity of the vehicles and they began to roll over. Despite this, the Ukrainian army speaks well of the car. The machines are equipped with a 160 hp engine. with and are capable of speeds on the highway up to 60 km / h. Crew car 2 people and 8 people landing. Machine weight 10 tons.

 
Ukraine has begun using the American DroneHunter F700 interceptor drones, with six units reportedly purchased.

According to the company, the drone can intercept Russian UAVs Orlan-10, Shahed-136, as well as other drones weighing up to 500 kg and with a flight altitude of no more than 5500 meters. UAVs captured using networks can be delivered to the operator or dropped by parachute. After returning, the interceptor drone can be charged with new networks in 3 minutes. The upgraded version of the DroneHunter F700 received improved sensors that made it easier to operate. The drone operator can see the weight and type of the intercepted UAV. DroneHunter F700 is equipped with a radar and uses it to detect targets. According to the manufacturer, during the tests, the efficiency of the drone was 85%. The interceptor drone is capable of speeds up to 100 km/h.

 
Confrontation between a Russian tank and a Ukrainian grenade launcher. Footage of an unusual battle in Ukraine. The Russian UAV operator, through a communications intermediary, sent the T-72 tank to the Ukrainian infantry positions, the tank, having fired at the infantry positions, continued to move, believing that everyone was destroyed there. After the passage of the tank, one of the Ukrainian grenade launchers fired a shot at the back of the tank, fortunately the armor withstood and ricocheted the grenade launcher. How the battle developed further is not reported.

 
The first four Russian robots "Marker" arrived in Ukraine. The robots will begin to work out combat algorithms as part of a group of combat robots. In the video, there are 2 versions of the "Marker" robot - shock and cargo. The shock version of the robot has a turret combat module capable of turning around to track a target in one second. The robot can be equipped with various weapons. The cargo version of the robot has an onboard container for transporting various cargoes, or a capsule for evacuating the wounded, equipped with a life support system.

 
An unusual incident occurred in Ukraine. A Russian soldier caught a drone of the Ukrainian army with his hands. The operator of the Ukrainian drone dropped a grenade on the Russian soldier, the Russian soldier, seeing this, jumped to the side and pretended to be dead. After that, the drone descended to a low altitude, where it was caught by a Russian soldier.

 
The story of two crews about the modification of Russian T-72B3M tanks. The main difference between the T-72B3M and the T-72B3 is the new engine, the level of protection of the tank is now close to the T-90M. An updated version of the Sosna-U sight, a digital ballistic computer and a panoramic sight were installed at the workplace of the vehicle commander.

 
Footage of the Russian army using the ZU-23-2 anti-aircraft artillery mount mounted on the MT-LB multi-purpose tractor. The 23 mm twin anti-aircraft gun was put into service in 1960. The ZU-23 anti-aircraft gun was delivered to dozens of countries and participated in many local wars. In the Russian army, the ZU-23-2 modification is widespread, which is installed on various mobile platforms, including armored vehicles such as the MT-LB multi-purpose tractor and the Rakushka BTR-MDM. Despite its age, the ZU-23 has not lost its importance as a means of destroying low-altitude, suddenly appearing targets and is used in air defense. The mass of the ZU-23 anti-aircraft gun in the stowed position is 950 kg, the rate of fire is up to 2000 rounds per minute, and the target engagement range is up to 3 km.

The transmitter power of the station is 1 kW. MTBF of the station is 250 hours, recovery time is 30 minutes, service life is 15 years.

 
The process of preparing and launching missiles of the MLRS "Tornado-S" of Russia. The 9K515 TornadoS multiple launch rocket system is a modernized version of the Smerch MLRS and began to be delivered to the troops in 2016. MLRS "Tornado" is considered one of the best in the world and surpasses foreign counterparts in many respects. The firing accuracy of the TornadoS MLRS is 15-20 times higher than that of the Smerch MLRS. Unlike the Smerch MLRS, the TornadoS MLRS rockets are corrected by Glonass not only at the initial stage of the flight, but also at the final one. Twelve 300mm rockets hit objects at ranges up to 120 km and can be individually aimed at each target. Two new types of missiles are used, 9M549 with a cassette for fragmentation elements and 9M544 with cumulative fragmentation elements.

 
Ukraine will receive American tanks M1A2 Abrams, the United States plans to transfer 31 tanks, the timing of the transfer is not yet clear. The United States will transfer Abrams M1A2 tanks without secret depleted uranium armor, it is worth noting that if such armor is damaged, it is dangerous to be near the tank without a gas mask. A lot has been said about the Abrams tank today, from laudatory articles to critical ones. Tank version M1A2 Abrams appeared in 1992, after which it was repeatedly improved, the tank participated in many conflicts. In 1991, in Iraq, the tanks of the M1A1 Abrams version performed well, the number of losses of 23 pieces for such a conflict is considered small, the tanks fought in the desert and showed themselves well. The M1A2 Abrams tanks participated in the second conflict in Iraq in 2003, as a result of guerrilla battles, the tanks were vulnerable in urban conditions. Tanks were hit from hand grenade launchers in the turret and side lower part, the upper part of the turret and the vehicle hull were also vulnerable. By the end of 2006, irretrievable losses amounted to 34 tanks, most of them from the use of the RPG-7 grenade launcher. From all this we can conclude that the tank is strong enough in frontal battles in open areas, in a city or wooded area the tank is vulnerable, it is worth noting that any tank is vulnerable in a city. The frontal armor of the tank is multi-layered, in the latest modifications of the M1A2SEP armor of the third generation is used, earlier versions of the frontal armor are vulnerable to anti-tank systems, it is not known what kind of armor tanks in Ukraine will have. The armor of the tank was reflected in its weight, it is 62 tons, in full body kit it reaches 72 tons, special units will be created to evacuate the tanks. The tank is equipped with an independent panoramic thermal imaging sight for the commander and a thermal imaging observation device for the driver, as well as an IVIS combat information and control system. The tank is equipped with a German smooth-bore 120 mm M256 gun, the rate of fire with an experienced loader is 10 rounds per minute, the tank's ammunition is 42 rounds. Tank engine power 1500 hp which allows him to reach speeds on the highway up to 66 km / h. The crew of the tank is 4 people. The average cost of the M1A2 Abrams tank is $6 million.

 
The Ukrainian army has received American M88A2 HERCULES armored recovery vehicles, one of which has already been seen on video. The M88A2 Hercules military evacuator was adopted in 1997 and based on the popular M88A1 military equator developed in 1975. The M88A2 Hercules tow truck is designed to evacuate heavy military equipment weighing up to 63 tons; in Ukraine, it will be used in evacuation units to evacuate M1 Abrams tanks. Compared to the M88A1, the modifications of the M88A2 strengthened the armor of the front of the hull, installed a more powerful 1050 hp engine. The hull of the M88A2 is welded from rolled steel armor plates. This provides protection for the crew of 3 from fragments of shells and bullets; a 7.62 mm machine gun is used as defensive weapons. The tow truck has a crane with a lifting capacity of 31 tons. Tow trucks were used in military conflicts and have proven themselves well. The mass of the equator is 63.5 tons, the cruising range is about 480 km. The price of the M88A2 Hercules tow truck is about $3.5 million.

 
Published footage of firing active-rocket shells of the Ukrainian self-propelled guns Panzerhaubitze 2000 of German production. Presumably, the firing is carried out by American corrected M982 Excalibur projectiles with a range of hitting targets up to 57 km, the price of these projectiles is from 50 to 80 thousand dollars. ACS PzH 2000 is considered one of the best, but it also has weaknesses, one of them is the need to maintain the barrel temperature to ensure the declared accuracy and range. When manually loaded, the self-propelled gun has a record speed of releasing the first 3 shells, it takes just 9 seconds.

 
Personnel training Russian FPV drone operators in Ukraine. Recently, FPV drones have become very popular and are increasingly being used by the armies of Russia and Ukraine. The drone is small enough that it is difficult for air defense systems to notice and intercept it. The FPV drone is able to fly into buildings and maneuver there at high speed, it can also carry out reconnaissance at close range and direct artillery. The main difference from large drones and UAVs is that the operator controls the copter in the first person with glasses, which increases the accuracy of the strike. Depending on the model, the combat load of an FPV drone can be up to 1 kg. But the most effective load is 400 g of TNT. In battles in Ukraine, VOG-17, VOG-25 and other lightweight ammunition are used to defeat the enemy.

 
The Russian calculation of the mobile 82-mm mortar 2B9 "Vasilek" spoke about his combat work in Ukraine. The Russian mortar 2B9 "Vasilek" was put into service in 1970 and a few years later was upgraded to the 2B9M version, the water cooling of the barrel was replaced with air, since the mortar's excessive rate of fire, and it could reach 300 rounds per minute, was not needed. After modernization, the rate of fire of the mortar was up to 120 rounds per minute. The mortar proved itself well and was actively used in Afghanistan and Chechnya, where it was installed on different chassis. The mortar was copied by China and is produced as Type-99, and China has already produced more of these mortars than Russia. The mortar is fired with mines in cassettes of 4 pieces, at a distance of up to 4200 meters, the calculation of the mortar is 4 people.

 
One of the Ukrainian artillery crews showed the rare 120mm 2B16 Nona-K towed gun they were using. The gun was produced from 1986 to 1989, a total of 188 pieces were produced. The rate of fire of the gun is up to 10 rounds per minute, the range of hitting targets is up to 12,800 meters. According to the servicemen, they took the gun from the museum

 
Rare footage of the destruction of two Ukrainian army infantry fighting vehicles by Russian Invar anti-tank guided missiles fired from a T-80 tank. The Russian guided active-rocket projectile 9M119M "Invar" was put into service in 1992 and is designed to destroy modern tanks equipped with dynamic protection. The missile is fired directly from the cannon and guided by a laser beam, the range of hitting targets is up to 5000 meters. The warhead of the rocket is tandem cumulative, it contains 2 charges, leading and main. The armor penetration of the missile is up to 900 mm of armor. The price of the rocket is about $37,000.
