The use of the US M32 MGL grenade launcher by the Ukrainian army.
The Ukrainian army began to use the 40 mm M32 Milkor MGL grenade launcher. The light six-shot revolving grenade launcher Milkor MGL was developed in South Africa in 1983 on the basis of the American single-shot M79 grenade launchers, after which it was modernized many times. The grenade launcher has been produced by the American division of Milkor USA since 2005 under the name Milkor M32 MGL, at one time the grenade launcher was even on sale for 15 thousand dollars. The M32 grenade launcher is equipped with a regular collimator sight mounted on an adjustable base and having a scale for entering corrections for firing range. The Milkor MGL-140 grenade launcher quickly gained worldwide popularity and is used by more than thirty countries around the world. The effective range of the grenade launcher for point targets is 150 meters, for area targets 400 meters, the rate of fire is 18 rounds per minute, and the weight is 6 kilograms.

The use of Soviet 100-mm guns KS-19 by the Ukrainian army
The Ukrainian army began to use the Soviet 100-mm anti-aircraft gun KS-19. The KS-19 gun was developed in 1947 and is designed to fight large, high-altitude air targets; it can also be used as an anti-tank weapon. Anti-aircraft systems KS-19 took part in all modern conflicts in Africa and the Middle East. In the Persian Gulf War, according to some versions, the guns were able to hit the Panavia Tornado 200 aircraft. From 1948 to 1955, 10,151 KS-19 guns were manufactured, and now Ukraine has about 173 guns of this type. The KS-19 guns can fire independently and with guidance from the SON-9A Globus radar. To cool the gun, a special ice tank can be used. The firing range of the gun against high-altitude targets is 15 km, the reach limit along the horizon is 21 km, and the rate of fire is 15 rounds per minute. The transition time from the traveling to the combat position is 5 minutes, the calculation of the gun is 7 people. Currently, the KS-19 anti-aircraft complex is in service with a number of countries, mainly in Africa and the Middle East.

A Polish-made 155-mm self-propelled gun Krab, delivered earlier to the Ukrainian army, came under attack from a Russian Lancet kamikaze drone. To be precise, the drone hit the Ukrainian army support vehicle, from which ammunition was being loaded into the self-propelled guns at that moment. As a result of the drone strike, shells detonated and the truck and Krab self-propelled guns were destroyed by the explosion. The explosion was so powerful that nothing was left of the truck at all.

The Ukrainian army continues to create mobile air defense units equipped with homemade military equipment to fight Russian drones. Footage of another makeshift anti-aircraft gun has surfaced. An installation was installed on the platform of the car, consisting of three 7.62 mm Maxim machine guns at once. We will not describe the Maxim machine gun, since this has already been done many times. The combat rate of fire of such an installation is 250-300 rounds per minute. Sighting range up to 2300 meters. The maximum range of a bullet is 3900 meters.

The strike of the Russian super-powerful bomb KAB-1500 in Ukraine
Russian aviation began to use in Ukraine powerful corrected aerial bombs KAB-1500LG. The bomb is usually dropped from SU-24M, SU-34 and SU-35 aircraft, from a height of 1 to 8 kilometers. The KAB-1500LG guided aerial bombs are equipped with laser gyro-stabilized homing heads, and are guided from an aircraft equipped with a laser target illumination system, or using ground target designation. The KAB-1500 bomb, weighing 1.5 tons and having a warhead weighing 1170 kilograms, can penetrate 3 meters of reinforced concrete or 20 meters of earth. Accuracy of hit from 4 to 7 meters. The impact of such a bomb on Ugledarsky was caught on video

Because the Ukrainians have been using very large very strong Soviet built buildings from what I hear. I am also hearing that the Russians are removing from the battlefield (making corpses generally) at the rate of over 400 a day.
My sources say that the Russians have broken the back of the Ukrainian forces....there can be no recovery from Bakhmut (which now reverts to its Russian name). The extent that the Americans lied and created this decimation of Ukraine and the Ukrainian people is coming out now...and that does matter. There is almost no way they ends without the Ukrainians deciding that they were betrayed by America.

A Su-34 fighter-bomber of the Russian Air Force attacked the Ukrainian bridge over the Sudost River in the Chernihiv region. Reportedly, the strike was caused due to the fact that sabotage groups of the Ukrainian army used a bridge across the Sudost River, not far from the village of Gremyach, to penetrate the territory of the Bryansk region of Russia. Presumably, the modernized planning bomb FAB-500 M62, or the X-29TD missile, was used for the strike, the height of these bombs was from 570 meters to 12 kilometers, at a flight speed of up to 1900 km / h. Bomb damage radius up to 250 meters.

Details about the American Avenger air defense systems of the Ukrainian army.
The Ukrainian army received 8 American short-range anti-aircraft missile systems M1097 Avenger. The Avenger air defense system was developed in 1987 by Boeing and placed on the Humvee chassis. The Avenger air defense system is capable of receiving target designations from external radars and remote air defense command posts. The complexes were sent to Ukraine, primarily to test the possibility of their use against UAVs. Armament of the Avenger air defense system, 2 containers of 4 FIM-92 Stinger missiles, a 12.7 mm anti-aircraft machine gun and a radar. The complex is capable of hitting air targets at altitudes up to 3.8 km and ranges from 200 meters to 5.5 kilometers, the characteristics are slightly higher than those of the Stinger MANPADS. The complex was used in Operation Desert Storm, but there is no data on its effectiveness. The crew of the air defense system calculation is 2 people, the cruising range of the vehicle is 563 kilometers.

Unusual hybrid tank T-64 of Ukraine.
An unusual hybrid of military equipment based on the T-64 tank was seen in the Ukrainian army. It is not know why the T-64 tank was so altered. The turret was removed from the tank and everything is protected by blocks of dynamic protection "Contact-1". Perhaps the tank will be some kind of breakthrough assault tank, since the turret has been removed and everything is covered by protection, the purpose of the vehicle is not clear. Perhaps the tank will be used as a military evacuation of damaged equipment. The armament of the tank is only a machine gun.

Details about the American Stryker armored personnel carrier of the Ukrainian army.
The Ukrainian army received American Stryker armored personnel carriers. Four vehicle versions were transferred, Stryker M1126, reconnaissance Stryker M1127, M1133 medical armored vehicle and M1132 Stryker with LWMR minesweeper. In total, 15 different combat vehicles were created on the basis of the Stryker armored personnel carrier. The Stryker armored personnel carrier was created in 2002 on the basis of the Canadian LAV III armored personnel carrier. The main advantages of the armored personnel carrier are high mobility in dry terrain and comfortable living conditions for the crew and troops. Disadvantages, low survivability of the undercarriage, cars often broke down, required frequent replacement of tires. The car was used in Iraq and the reviews on it are contradictory. According to Colonel Robert Brown, the car is well protected from small arms and RPG rounds, thanks to the all-round protection of the lattice screens. According to a special report by the US military, the car is unreliable, has low firepower, design flaws and a tendency to roll over. Apparently, ratings were given to vehicles without additional armor and weapons. In Ukraine, the Stryker M1126 armored personnel carrier will have to face the Russian BTR-82A and the Stryker is vulnerable in this confrontation. The fact is that the Stryker M1126 armored personnel carrier delivered to Ukraine is armed with a 12.7-mm M2 Browning machine gun, or a 40-mm Mk19 grenade launcher can also be mounted with a 7.62-mm M240 machine gun. The armament of the BTR-82A is a 30-mm gun and it can hit the Stryker armored personnel carrier at a distance of up to 2000 meters. The Stryker armored personnel carrier is also equipped with powerful weapons, a 30-mm and 105-mm M68A2 cannon, but they were not delivered to Ukraine, the vehicles also come without additional armor. Initially, the Stryker armored personnel carrier was created for use in low-intensity conflicts. The crew of the car is two people and up to nine landing people. The weight of the Stryker M1126 is 19 tons, the speed on the highway is up to 97 km / h. Power reserve 531 km.
