Belarus has announced it is ramping up its military presence at the border with Ukraine. According to the latest statements, Belarusian forces are now bolstered with additional troops, aircraft, and military equipment, signaling a significant increase in their operational readiness.
Belarusian Air Force commander Gen.Andrei Lukyanovich revealed that the deployment includes anti-aircraft missile systems and radio-technical units. “The group has been significantly increased, and they are currently on duty at the southern borders of our country,” Gen. Lukyanovich told state-owned broadcaster CTV.
This move follows recent comments from Belarus president Alexander Lukashenko, who claimed that nearly one-third of Belarus’s armed forces had been stationed in the country’s eastern order regions though the claim was promptly dismissed as ‘false’ by Ukrainian officials.
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.
