The former president of Ukraine and leader of the ‘European Solidarity’ party Petro Poroshenko presented the development of a new system of radio-electronic warfare, which should potentially counter Russian drones.
The system is called ‘Ai-Petri SV’ and Petro Poroshenko donated UAH 150 million in its development. This is a modern mobile means of cyber defense, which allows neutralizing enemy drones such as Orlan, Zala, and Lancet. It is also noted that there are positive results in countering guided aerial bombs.
The first system is now being tested at the front protecting from Russian drones two Ukrainian artillery units.
Poroshenko emphasized that this is actually a cyber-weapon that intercepts enemy unmanned aerial vehicles. He stated that usually the development of such a complex lasts from 3 to 8 years, but this project was completed in less than 5 months.
The former president also noted that they are now working on scaling the project. The complex includes a modern radar station, an anti-drone device, a reliable secure communication, an autonomous power supply, a pickup truck, and control center.
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.
