On May 27, the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces Oleksandr Syrskyi together with the Minister of Defense Rustem Umerov held a video meeting with the Minister of the Armed Forces of the French Republic Sébastien Lecornu.
General Syrskyi welcomed the initiative of the French side to send instructors to Ukraine to train Ukrainian servicemen.
‘I have already signed the documents that will allow the first French instructors to soon visit our training centers and familiarize themselves with their infrastructure and staff,’ the general stated.
He also expressed hope that France’s determination will encourage other partners to join this ambitious project and thanked Lecornu for the friendly support of the French people and military and economic assistance to Ukraine to repel Russian military aggression.
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.
