The MV-4 de-mining machine, assembled and localized in Ukraine, has received a certificate of conformity.
The Ukrainian company A3tech received a certificate of compliance of the DOK-ING MV-4 de-mining machine with the requirements set forth in Government Resolution No. 271 regarding the mandatory certification of mechanized demining equipment.
This will allow the manufacturing company to switch to the industrial production of machines for the needs of the market: both government structures and humanitarian demining operators.
The company A3tech, which assembles and localizes Croatian DOK-ING machines, has increased its staff by 12% since the beginning of the year.
In addition, the company has involved in the production another factory, which manufactures some components. ‘Assembling and localizing the production of de-mining machines in Ukraine accelerates the repair or replacement of parts in case of detonation. In addition, it facilitates access to equipment for humanitarian demining operators,’ said deputy minister Ihor Bezkaravainyi.
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.
