Ukrainian sappers have received the first MV-10 de-mining machine manufactured in Ukraine. 60 such cars can be produced per year.

The ‘A3Tech-Ukraine’ company in Khmelnytskyi region received a certificate of conformity for the Croatian MV-10 heavy de-mining machine. The military has already received the first such machine. Currently, ‘A3Tech-Ukraine’ has an order for the production of eight such machines.

The company produces up to 40% of MV-10 components and plans to increase this figure to 100% by the end of the year.

In addition, two more Ukrainian enterprises are involved in the project. They manufacture components for machines.  As of now, ‘A3Tech-Ukraine’ is able to produce up to 60 MV-10 machines per year.

The machine of this kind are actively used in the liberated parts of Mykolaiv, Kherson, and Kharkiv regions.

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.
