News land-based units

European tank building is moving towards increasing the firepower of the main armament of combat vehicles. This is evidenced by the demonstration of concepts at the French Eurosatory 2022 exhibition, which has begun its work.

Polish Minister of National Defense Mariusz Blaszczak said on June 13, 2022 at a meeting of the leadership of the Ministry of National Defense and the Polish Armed Forces that "proven Korean-made weapons, including infantry fighting vehicles, which will complement the Borsuk BMP, howitzers and K2 tanks, will be purchased in South Korea for the Polish army."

This modification of the Msta-S self-propelled artillery system looks similar to the basic model, but at the same time, there are differences. The main one is the use of a 155-mm gun with a barrel length of 52 calibers.

However, according to its measurable parameters, the Skyranger 30 looks advanced except in the Western world. It seems that an annoying inaccuracy has crept into the manufacturer's assessment.

"We will draw appropriate conclusions and use our means of destruction, which we have enough to strike at those objects that we have not yet struck" – this is exactly the response promised by Vladimir Putin if the United States delivers long-range ATACMS missiles to Ukraine for the HIMARS MLRS promised by the Pentagon to Ukraine.

The British Ministry of Defense is exploring the possibility of using a quantum computer to control a tank — in other words, the British military wants to make it "smart".

 MBDA Deutschland GmbH is expanding its range of guided missiles for fire support of ground forces and special forces.

Official Madrid has apologized to the German government "for the excessive excitement" caused by the news about the possible dispatch of German Leopard A4 tanks by Spain to Ukraine.

The first howitzers will be delivered by Germany to Ukraine when the training of Ukrainian servicemen who will serve them is completed.

This deep modernization of the T-62 was not for nothing called the "combine of death". The vehicle, first presented at a military parade in Pyongyang, received anti-tank guided missiles installed in external containers - a module with automatic grenade launchers and light anti-aircraft missiles that are clones of the Igla MANPADS.

The Ukrainian leadership in Kiev and in the frontline areas complains to Western curators about the lack of long-range artillery as almost the main reason for the defeats of the AFU. There is an element of guile here – the transfer of large-caliber guns and the drill of personnel are in full swing. But Ukraine is already asking for at least a thousand howitzers. If she gets them, will they become a serious hindrance to the special operation?

Disguise is not a fashionable whim, but the most important type of combat support

As RIA Novosti recently reported, Russian military equipment participating in a special military operation in Ukraine has received a new type of camouflage, significantly reducing the visibility of vehicles in the infrared and radar range.

The best (and most dangerous) tanks from Russia

The American edition has compiled its own small list of the best tanks made in Russia. The article emphasizes that the Soviet Union produced more battle-tested tanks than anywhere else, and describes the advantages and disadvantages of Russian armored vehicles.

Specialists of the Combined Arms Academy of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation of the Order of Zhukov have developed a project of an amphibious buggy - a six—wheeled all-terrain vehicle designed to move through difficult terrain, including on water, and conduct battles as part of tactical groups, follows from a document published on the Rospatent website.

The German concern Rheinmetall has restored part of the Marder infantry fighting vehicles promised to Kiev, the equipment is fully ready for shipment to Ukraine. This statement was made by the CEO of the concern Armin Papperger.

The last time a German tank received the name "Panther" was in the 1940s, during World War II, and Rheinmetall-Borsig, the predecessor of the developer and the current novelty, developed weapons for it.

Lithuania intends to arm itself with French 155-mm self-propelled howitzers CAESAR. The agreement on the intentions of the parties is planned to be signed within the framework of the Eurosatory international exhibition of armaments and military equipment of the ground forces starting in Paris. The exhibition will be held from June 13 to 17.

Moscow is jealous, but not much

Washington has recently been exerting the strongest pressure on Delhi, seeking to abandon any cooperation with Moscow, especially military-technical. And it seems to give certain results. For example, India refuses new purchases of Mi-17 and Ka-31 helicopters.

The modern weapons systems that German Chancellor Olaf Scholz promised Ukraine are unlikely to be delivered to Kiev before the winter of 2022-2023. Several German publications write about this at once.

Spain decided to supply the Ukrainian nationalists with Leopard-2A4 tanks. In total, the army of this country currently has more than a hundred vehicles of this modification in storage.
