Russian forces have used its 1.5-ton bomb for the first time in the Kupiansk region, according to the Kharkiv governor Oleg Synegubov.
The attack took place in the early hours of July 25. It targeted the key rairoad hub Kupiansk-Vuzlovy. The blast left a 52-year old man wounded.
Known as FAB-1500, these glide bombs have a range of 50-60 kilometers posing a much bigger threat that FAB-250 or FAB-500 bombs Russia has routinely used in its attacks in the Kharkiv regions.
Deployed by Su-34 aircraft from the Russian territory, they are almost immune to air defenses.
Synegubov belives Russia could soon start use them in Kharkiv, whihc is seen as dangerous escalation.
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.
