What is Ukraine armed with, what awaits Russia? |

Ukrainian celebrity military blogger, editor-in-chief of Senzor.net portal Yuri Butusov USA and a new one sent to Ukraine in Germany military examined the importance of the ammunition included in the aid package.

Pressklub.az presents to the readers the analysis shared by the blogger on his “Facebook” page:

“In August USA and the new weapons from Germany cost more than the supplies sent in earlier months of the war prices differs with

Thus,

USA Ukraine It sends these supplies to its Armed Forces:

An additional batch of unspecified high-precision missiles;

GMLRS missiles for HIMARS missile complexes. Therefore, attacks on Russian headquarters and logistics centers will continue;

Additional batch of HARM anti-radio electronic defense missiles. Experience shows that these rockets Ukraine It allowed the Armed Forces to penetrate the defense of Russia. Now Russian radars and anti-aircraft missile complexes trying to protect strategic objects from HIMARS strikes are hit by these missiles fired from self-propelled devices. Thus, the Russians will not be able to defend themselves against HIMARS;

15 tactical drones “Boeing Scan Eagle” complex. This US military drone is a modern medium-range weapon in the same class as our PD-2 systems, optimized for tactical reconnaissance and artillery fire. Previously, the USA used to supply us with the old “Puma PQ-20” had given a batch of drones. But in modern warfare, these machines have an old control system that is easily hit by REB tools, so their use is very limited. We see how Scan Eagle is protected from obstacles, which will significantly increase our capabilities.

Anti-tank weapons:

1. A) 1,500 anti-tank guided TOW missiles. This is a weapon NATO Javelin, mass-produced in their country, is not an anti-tank missile. American TOW-2 missiles are used by the Syrian rebels in the battles with the Assad regime, as we have seen in videos circulating on the Internet. Yes, the operator must accompany the missile at all times, which is more complicated because the missile does not disappear by itself in the upward projection and is guided by a wire. Therefore, it is necessary to shoot from it in the open field. But there are also advantages – the missile is more reliable, easier to operate, does not depend on the state of the battery, can be directed exactly to the object directed by the operator. Unlike Javelin, it has a flight range of 3700 meters. This weapon will be very effective on the front line;
2. B) for Javelins 1000 rockets will be sent. This will completely restore our dwindling supply;
3. C) Anti-tank 2000 “Karl Gustav” grenades. These are more powerful and accurate grenade launchers than Soviet RPG-7s and will restore our stock.

36 thousand shells of 105 mm caliber. The US has previously supplied Ukraine with 105 mm M-119 howitzers, which will strengthen their arsenal. It was a very important decision – because in addition to long-range heavy artillery, 155 mm howitzers needed to hit targets at close ranges. Currently, these works are performed with 122 mm caliber howitzers;

Engineer supplies:

1. A) MaxxPro 40 armor minelayer military cars. There is chaotic mining on both sides of the front, without which it is impossible to ensure the maneuvers of the troops;
2. B) Minesweepers, munitions that create a safe passage in minefields. Such engineering support is necessary for future operations.

Night vision devices, thermal cameras, laser rangefinders and other optical devices. Shipping these supplies is also very important. Because it allows to reduce losses and gain an advantage in face-to-face battles, as well as to monitor the mass displacement of combat equipment. In the army, we only have supplies like this that are bought by volunteers. These U.S. contributions should create a quality advantage in night vision equipment and provide all troop units with them.

It was also announced that new radio communication equipment will be sent to Ukraine, but no additional information is provided;

50 HMMWV armored vehicles. Everyone knows about these highly maneuverable vehicles, which will create an additional advantage to increase the agility of our army.

of Germany Ukraine The ammunition sent to the Armed Forces

Air defense systems:

1. A) IRIS-T SLM anti-aircraft missile complex. It is a modern medium-range complex system that surpasses any Russian ZRK of this class. Especially effective against Buk-M3s. Such a protective umbrella provides protection against all types of aircraft, drones, cruise missiles and some ballistic missiles.
2. B) new “Cheetahs” of 35 mm caliber. I would like to mention that 15 self-propelled anti-artillery units have already been transferred to the Armed Forces of Ukraine. “Cheetahs” are highly effective, as their mission includes the destruction of aircraft and helicopters, as well as the destruction of very small quadcopter targets with precision fire.

In addition, the Germans are sending 4,000 35 mm anti-aircraft missiles of unknown type, and 4,000 practice missiles for training crews.

1. C) 40 stations providing radio-electronic combat against long-range drones. In addition, 24 short-range relay stations are also sent

Artillery cannons:

1. A) Guided artillery shells for 155 mm “Volcano” caliber cannons. They are made with the latest technology and have no analogues in the Russian army. This missile has a range of 50-70 km and, like the HIMARS missiles, is guided by GPS navigation in flight. That is, the jeweler can hit targets with precision. These rockets NATO can be used in all the 155 mm cannons that have already been delivered to us by their countries. Such a shell is very effective for counter-battery combat. A cannon costs less to supply than a SAU, HIMARS missile, and can be deployed much faster than standard cannons. The fire apartment is such that from the front 20-can shoot at the maximum range of 152 mm Russian artillery at a distance of 30 km;
2. B) The Germans also send 4592 unknown shells of 155 mm caliber. This is a very important aid in terms of filling ammunition warehouses and increasing reserves.
3. Artillery reconnaissance.
4. A) COBRA counter-battery combat radar. These were modern systems that would complete our fleet of artillery radars and those of the United States.
5. B) 43 reconnaissance drones of undisclosed types.
6. 20 70mm rocket launchers that can be mounted on a pickup truck with 2000 missiles equipped with a laser guidance system. The type is not specified, but the only other type in the US is APKWS missiles. These are old unmanned aviation missiles installed with a laser-guided unit. Accuracy is ensured by a laser beam. This allows for a very precise and very mobile installation that can be placed on any machine. It can be used with high accuracy against infantry, thereby reducing the burden of 155mm artillery pieces.

Engineering facilities:

1. A) 16 “Biber” type tank pontoon bridges installed on the chassis of the “Leopard-1” tank. It’s not new, but it’s a very effective offensive weapon, it’s even possible to quickly deploy a floating bridge under fire.
2. B) 12 Armored Repair Evacuation Vehicles “Bergepanzer-2” They are installed on the “Leopard-1” chassis. Previously, 3 such devices were given to the Ukrainian army. That is, the Germans provide a high level of ability to move the equipment out of the firing range with this help.
3. C) Minesweeper. About the type information there is no Logically, it can be considered that “Pionyrpanzer-2 can be an engineering car. A machine is provided for training, more mass deliveries are being prepared.
4. Logistics.
5. A) 200 trucks;
6. B) 6 trucks with cargo lift;
7. C) 14 trailers for tank transportation;

D) Tractor with 2 trailers.

5032 anti-tank guns. Type not specified, probably Panzerfaust-type grenade launchers.

8. Armored technology.
9. A) 10 M113 armored vehicle. Previously, 33 such APCs were sent;
10. B) Unspecified name and brand 10 armored car.

10 drones. It is clear that the boats are intended for mining Ukrainian ports, but they can also be used for other risky work on the water;

60,200 grenades of 40 mm caliber for automatic and barrel grenade launchers…

The supply of such modern systems comprehensively increases the capabilities of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and brings its combat capability to a new level. Although not as fast as we need and want, the quantity and quality of military aid is increasing. But the supplies are still not enough for a good counterattack.”
