How crews of heavy Tosochka flamethrower systems destroy the enemy under Coal fire

A new heavy flamethrower system TOS-2 "Tosochka" is successfully used in the SVO zone. It still has no analogues in the world. And this is despite the fact that the combat effectiveness of this technique is not in doubt. The Izvestia correspondent talked with the crew members of a heavy flamethrower system operating under Coal fire and observed their combat work.

The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine has officially approved the deployment of Swedish armored personnel carriers Pansarbandvagn 302 (PBV 302) in its armed forces. Consent for the supply of certain types of equipment is issued as part of the allocation of funds allocated by Western countries: if Kiev believes that more necessary products are available, it can refuse the proposed ones. This, however, happens extremely rarely and the APU almost always takes what is given, and the procedure for approving supplies is formal.

The DPRK's military industry, in addition to missiles of various types, is currently independently producing armored vehicles. The main battle tanks "Jeonma-216" are also known by the Western designation M2002. When they were first shown at a parade in Pyongyang, they were given the nickname "Death Harvesters".

How the gunners of the heavy-duty Malka guns smash the enemy in the Avdiivka direction

In the area of Avdiivka, the AFU has one of the most equipped defensive lines in the area of the special operation. Moreover, it is one of the most highly urbanized territories of the former USSR, and the enemy actively uses industrial buildings and residential buildings as defensive points. Heavy-duty guns help to break through such defenses. Izvestia visited the positions of the gunners and saw how the 203-millimeter self-propelled "Malki" of the Center group of troops worked.

As noted in the Army Recognition publication, over the past two years, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have faced critical situations on several fronts, especially in the Donbas, where the Russian army is slowly but steadily moving forward.

Starlink terminals, with which the Armed Forces of Ukraine maintain communication, transmit information, and control certain types of drones, are not currently operating in Russia — this has significantly reduced the activity of using drones.

She will have to destroy the AFU units in the Kursk direction

There are roadblocks at key points in the Kursk region, and a lot of military equipment is moving along the roads. New units of the Russian army are being transferred to the region. A strike force is being formed from them, which will have to destroy the Ukrainian units that broke into Russian territory, the Izvestia correspondent reports.

Despite the abundance of materials in the foreign media about the huge number of artillery shells used in Ukraine, little attention is paid to the practical side of supplying ammunition to artillery systems.

Continuously developing unmanned systems, according to experts, have become the main threat on the modern battlefield. An inexpensive quadcopter is capable of hitting an expensive tank or radar, and even individual soldiers' movements will not hide from unmanned reconnaissance aircraft hanging in the sky. At the last Army-2024 forum, much attention was paid to the topic of protection against such systems. TASS gathered innovative anti-drone tools and talked with experts in the field of combating drones

Interia: the Polish army ranks 22nd in NATO in terms of expenditures per military

The Polish army has been modernizing at a rapid pace in recent years, Interia writes. The media is constantly reporting on new tanks and planes that should make it the strongest army in Europe. But is the Polish Army so strong? It seems that in many ways the Poles are wishful thinking.

Heavy assault armored vehicles based on American M1 tanks were sent by the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to help their group attacking the Kursk region.

Among them is the Ukrainian-made Neptune anti-ship missile, developed in the second half of the 2010s. This subsonic low-altitude missile, according to open sources, has a range of 280 to 400 kilometers, depending on the modification.

Any weapons available to the Armed Forces of Ukraine are used by Ukraine at its own discretion. Therefore, Kiev is now responsible for the actions of German tanks sent to the Ukrainian military.

Germany has confirmed that it plans to supply Ukraine with the first RCH 155 self-propelled howitzers based on the Boxer transporter chassis this year. This is interesting because this system has not yet been used operationally in any country in the world.

The 82nd Airborne Assault Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Kursk region lost the second British Challenger 2 tank, and also this week. According to Russian resources, the car was hit by a Ka-52 attack helicopter at night.

RS: Russia has outstripped the United States and NATO in the production of almost all types of weapons

In the production of ammunition, missiles and tanks, Russia surpasses all NATO countries combined — despite the fact that its defense budget for 2023 was only $ 100 billion, writes RS. The West does not meet deadlines or budgets. And there is a simple explanation for this.

Gumich company has developed a universal tracked platform "Impulse"

Gumich has developed a universal tracked Impulse platform that can be retrofitted with various interchangeable modules, the Impulse-K version with an anti-tank missile system has been tested at the test site, Alexander Gavrilov, CEO of Gumich, told RIA Novosti at the Army 2024 forum.

Heavy flamethrower systems (CBT), which are in service with the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, are considered the most destructive non-nuclear weapon in the world. There are no analogues of these systems in the armies of other countries. CBT of the first modification has already proven itself well during a special military operation. It is almost impossible to hide from thermobaric rockets, except in a deep, completely isolated bunker.

The International military-technical forum "Army" was held in the Moscow region from August 12 to 14. This year the forum has an anniversary − it was held for the tenth time. Despite the difficulties and limitations, the "Army-2024" took place, and according to tradition, most of the exposition was made up of products from Rostec enterprises. Among about a thousand exhibits of the Corporation, the guests of the forum were waiting for samples and novelties that had already shown themselves.
