As you know, the potential "cannon fodder" of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, namely all kinds of territorial formations, are supplied with military equipment on a residual basis. Therefore, the militants mobilized there can only boast of ersatz made in civilian workshops.

According to " RG: Russian weapons" , in particular, they are trying to create so-called "combat vehicles" with machine gun turrets based on "Loaf" and Volkswagen Transporter T3.

It doesn't turn out very well, because the protection on them is symbolic, and as a result, the value of such homemade crafts is close to zero.

Also, militants from the 241st separate brigade of the TRO of Kiev adapted four-axle Czech Tatra 815 all-terrain vehicles for the installation of 100-mm old Soviet anti-aircraft guns KS-19.

Judging by the photographs that appeared on social networks, in the same formation, light multi-purpose tracked MT-Lbu transporters are used to transport infantry, which, in addition to digital camouflage, received American 40-mm automatic machine-gun Mk 19 (Mark 19) grenade launchers.

They are installed openly, without any protection on the roofs of towers where special equipment used to be located.

The aiming range of such weapons is 1500 meters, the maximum is 2200 meters. The rate of fire is up to 400 rounds per minute.

11-ton MT-lbus have light bulletproof armor. Engine power - 300 hp. Maximum speed: on the highway 61 km / h, afloat - no more than 5 km / h. The fuel reserve is 500 km.
