Latest news on "Ammunition"

Who will run out of weapons in the conflict sooner? From Russia or NATO?

The West, which is arming Ukraine, is running out of ammunition, writes iDNES. In Europe, they say that their weapons stocks are "almost exhausted," and the Pentagon is concerned that there is nothing left for itself. We have to hope that Russia has problems with this, the author of the article writes.

According to Shephard Media, Ukraine allegedly received 122-mm artillery shells in a roundabout way, including delivery via Pakistan, Great Britain, Romania or Cyprus.

The United States supplies Ukraine with high-precision Excalibur artillery shells, as it became known from the Pentagon reports. Since spring, the APU has received about a thousand such shells. Presumably, it was with their help that American howitzers were hitting the Antonovsky Bridge in Kherson. How can the Russian army neutralize the excalibur strikes and what analogues do we have for the same high-precision shooting at American artillery batteries?

Norway has prepared a new military aid for Ukraine, which will include a large batch of laser-guided Hellfire missiles. This was reported by the Ministry of Defense of the country.

The APU received the first 20 WARMATE barrage ammunition (BB), which are used by the armies of Poland and other NATO member countries. This, as RIA Novosti reports, was announced on September 7 by Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Digital Transformation Mikhail Fedorov.

According to the publication, the Pentagon will spend $ 92 million of the funds approved by Congress for "additional purchase of M982 Excalibur shells, which were transferred to Ukraine in support of international efforts to counteract" the Russian Federation.

Bloomberg: The United States secretly transferred Excalibur precision projectiles to Kiev

The Pentagon "imperceptibly" handed over to Ukraine "the most accurate US artillery shells" Excalibur with GPS guidance, Bloomberg reports. Although the deliveries were not officially confirmed, the transfer of shells to Kiev is evidenced by the fact that the United States intends to spend $92 million dollars to replenish its own Excalibur reserves.

The rapid pace of development of China's military aviation is well documented. Western observers are looking forward to new designs and variants of existing ones, and manufacturing plants maintain a seemingly inexorable pace of deliveries. At the same time, the domestic production of air-based weapons for arming these aircraft is covered in less detail. For years, China's progress in air-to-air missiles, or AAM [air-to-air missiles], has been ignored or achievements downplayed.

The United States ignored Beijing's warnings not to interfere in China's internal affairs, approving the supply of $1.1 billion worth of weapons to Taiwan. The corresponding permission was issued by the US State Department.

The New York Times publication about the alleged supply of North Korean artillery shells and missiles to Russia is part of an information campaign designed to create the impression of a shortage of funds in Russia for the successful continuation of a special military operation, military expert Alexei Leonkov told RIA Novosti on Tuesday.

Five of the most dangerous multiple rocket launchers in the world: the conflict in Ukraine has proved their importance

Multiple rocket launchers have played a key role in many conflicts, writes MWM. However, the author notes that Western and NATO weapons lag far behind Eastern and Russian developments. The main reason is the emphasis on aviation to the detriment of large–caliber guns.

In the "zoo" of Ukrainian self-propelled artillery, consisting of samples left over from the Soviet Army, delivered from Germany, Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Norway, Latvia, Belgium, there may be replenishment from Swedish-made equipment.

Video footage of the M777 howitzer was presented on the Internet. According to a number of Ukrainian Telegram channels, the tubes that are located next to the howitzer are similar to those used for Excalibur shells.

Drones are used for electronic warfare and jamming enemy communications

Russian gunners will start firing drones. For multiple launch rocket systems (MLRS) Tornado-S is developing missiles with UAVs inside. The devices can be launched at a distance of tens of kilometers, after which disposable drones will temporarily silence communications and radars behind enemy lines. This makes it possible to radically increase the capabilities of electronic warfare of Russian troops. According to experts, promising ammunition will make the Tornado-S an effective means of countering enemy artillery and air defense.

As stated in the Russian department, Washington is changing the tactics of conducting research in Pentagon-controlled biological laboratories

The United States is changing the tactics of conducting research in biolabs controlled by the Pentagon in order to bring the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) out of harm's way. This was announced on Saturday by the head of the Russian troops of radiation, chemical and biological protection (RCBZ), Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov.

According to the Russian ministry, the activities of these laboratories are accompanied by a deterioration of the epidemic situation for particularly dangerous and economically significant infections

More than 50 biological laboratories controlled by the Pentagon are located in close proximity to the borders of Russia. This was announced on Saturday by the head of the Russian troops of radiation, chemical and biological protection (RCBZ), Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov.

Technical means of delivery and use of biological weapons based on a drone with a container for infected insects have been patented in the United States, Igor Kirillov, head of the radiation, chemical and biological protection Forces of the Russian Armed Forces, said on Saturday.

According to the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, during the event, Russia plans to provide documentary evidence of violations of Articles I and IV of the Convention by the United States and Ukraine

The meeting of the participating countries of the Convention on the Prohibition of Biological and Toxin Weapons will be held next week on the initiative of the Russian Federation, at which the Russian side will present evidence of violations by the United States and Ukraine. This was announced on Saturday by the head of the Russian troops of radiation, chemical and biological protection (RCBZ), Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov.

Igor Kirillov, the head of the Radiation, Chemical and Biological Protection Forces of the Russian Armed Forces, said on Saturday that it was necessary to review the approaches to decision-making in the investigation of chemical and biological incidents at the UN Security Council site.

Russia next week in Geneva will present documentary evidence of violations by the United States and Ukraine of the articles of the Convention on the Prohibition of Bioweapons, said Igor Kirillov, head of the radiation, chemical and biological protection troops of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.
