They are menace for Kharkiv and now their longer range leaves no neigborhood safe. Russia has started to used its recentlhy modified aerial FAB-500 bombs for attacks in Kharkiv. Known as a drop-and-forget bomb, it was previously used only at Kupyansk.
The news came from Oleh Syniehubov, head of the Kharkiv Regional Military Administration in his interview for the state TV.
“The enemy is now using guided FAB-500 aerial bombs against Kharkiv, and the weapon has an incredibly destructive force,” he warned.
Their longer range can make things for Kharkiv residents even harsher.
“After they were given an upgrade, these bombs can go gliding up to 80 km, putting every inch of Kharkiv within their range. This is why our air raid alarms, which can last up to 16 hours a day, mean a real and urgent threat.”
A kamikaze drone flies directly toward an armored personnel carrier. But instead of penetrating the hull, it explodes on a steel screen. The crew survives. This is the new reality for Ukrainian forces, who have received enhanced protection thanks to the Metinvest project within “Steel Front of Rinat Akhmetov”.
To commemorate the third anniversary of the full-scale invasion, “Bukvy” has compiled data on the largest donors supporting the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Among them there are charitable foundations and businesses. The list includes, in particular, foundations that provide assistance exclusively from their own resources, without fundraising (such as SCM by Rinat Akhmetov, Epicenter, etc.).
In just 1.5 months, Ukrainian specialists have created an innovative protective shell for the control modules of anti-aircraft missile systems (AMS) Patriot and Iris-T SLM. This development was another step in strengthening Ukraine’s defense capabilities, aimed at protecting key elements of the air defense system from debris damage.
Military serviceman of the International Legion for the Defense of Ukraine with the call sign “Paradox” is the crew commander of the American M113 armored personnel carrier. He is a master at using it and is constantly improving, because the legionnaire’s skills are tested every day in battle. You have to drive to the front lines, often under artillery fire and drone attacks.
Notorious supporter of the concept “in order for a cow to eat less and give more milk, it needs to be fed less and milked more” “Servant of the People” Danylo Hetmantsev, under the guise of “business requirements”, registered a draft law on the collection of VAT on all foreign purchases, regardless of their value. In other words, every Ukrainian, buying goods of any value and purpose abroad, when sending them to Ukraine, will have to pay an additional fifth part, or 20% of the cost of the goods.
