On Monday, Ukraine’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs summoned Shahriyar Amouzegar, Iran’s temporary chargé d’affaires, to express deep concern over reports that Iran is sending ballistic missiles to the Russian Federation. Ukrainian officials sent a clear signal about the consequences of such actions.
The Iranian diplomat was told that supplies of ballistic weapons to Russia could lead to “devastating and irreversible consequences” for bilateral relations between Ukraine and Iran.
This follows earlier reports that Iranian MP Ahmad Bakhshayesh Ardestani admitted to the transfer of ballistic missiles to Russia despite Tehran’s official denials. Ardestani’s comments came just one day after Iran’s UN mission refuted a Wall Street Journal report regarding the supply of short-range ballistic missiles to Russia.
Ardestani argue his country had to send the weapons as part of barter schemes“to receive “soybeans and wheat”.
Ukraine has made clear that any confirmed military support for Russia would severely impact the already fragile relations between the two nations.
Five armored vehicles “Kozak” have received a new mission – thanks to the support of Metinvest, they have been upgraded to full-fledged command and staff vehicles. These upgraded vehicles are now operating on the front line.
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.
