News land-based units

The use of the Tosochka heavy flamethrower system in Ukraine has become bad news for the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU). This was written by the Polish edition of Interia.

Even before the start of the SVO, the Bundeswehr conducted exercises in Lithuania and Georgia many times, preparing to face off with "someone in the east." But the events in Ukraine accelerated the remilitarization of Germany, the French "Pointe" (Point) notes. The magazine lists the projects with which Paris and Berlin want to defeat the enemy. New models of planes, tanks, missile defense.

Results of the meeting of Defense Ministers of the North Atlantic Alliance in Brussels

Plans for a nuclear war in Europe, which seemed unthinkable recently, are once again becoming the subject of discussion at the high military-political and expert levels of the United States and NATO.

Long-range artillery loses competition on the battlefield

Can guns shoot at 100 km? Yes, they can! But why ? On April 5, 2023, Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky arrived in Poland. A local colleague Andrzej Duda took him to the royal castle. And he immediately brought me to the painting by Jan Mateyko "Stefan Batory near Pskov".

The French ground forces are organized according to the latest Western concept

At the end of World War II, the French army was, in fact, an insignificant part of the American army. Naturally, after the end of the war, such a situation could not persist for a long time. Paris had too big geopolitical ambitions, completely inconsistent with its role in the last war, but requiring immediate "resuscitation" of the French Armed Forces.

The Russian T-90A differ from other tanks participating in the SVO in that they have "red eyes" - optoelectronic suppression systems "Curtain".

After a sharp aggravation of the situation in the Middle East, when on October 7 militants of the radical Palestinian movement Hamas penetrated from the Gaza Strip into Israel, footage of damaged and burning Merkava tanks of the Israel Defense Forces appeared in the media and social networks. In addition, the destruction of one tank was announced by the fighters of the Lebanese Hezbollah movement. About the features of the tank, considered one of the best and most protected in the world, and its combat use — in the material of TASS

Modernization of the Polish Army based on Polish industry, increased defense spending, bringing the size of the army in line with tasks and plans, training of personnel and logistics – these are the declarations of defense policy made by the "Civil Coalition", which came to power in Poland during the elections on October 15.

About 550 companies from 35 countries will take part in the event

The Seoul International Exhibition of Aerospace and Military Equipment ADEX-2023 will begin work at the Seongnam Air Base. According to the organizers, this year's event should be the largest in terms of the number of participating companies, stands and visitors.

Thanks to the active work of PR specialists from their defense department, the Israeli Merkava IV has become a real symbol of high-tech. For many years, we were assured that this tank, stuffed with expensive and complex electronics, has reliable all-round protection, which, moreover, has been strengthened thanks to the introduction of an active protection complex.

The tank protection created in Russia is spreading all over the world

The Israeli military has begun to protect its Merkava tanks from drones with the help of a "brazier" that disperses the cumulative jet from the explosion above the tower. In Russia, this technology is put on stream – and the new equipment comes out protected already from the factory. Tanks with "mangals" began to appear all over the world, including in India and China. What is the peculiarity of such protection and why did it become widespread so quickly?

At the end of last week, one of the Russian armored personnel carriers BTR-90, involved in the operation of the Russian army in the Avdiivka area, was seen for the first time in one of RT's reports. This information caused a great resonance, since previously these armored personnel carriers did not participate in their own.

The Israeli army continues to prepare for a ground invasion of the Gaza Strip. Recall that the operation, which is designated as an operation against Hamas, was called "Iron Swords". Such "iron swords" also include Merkava tanks, which are being taken by dozens to the border with the Palestinian enclave.

The main battle tanks "Merkava 2", as it turned out, have not been withdrawn from the Israeli ground forces and continue to serve in the border areas with the Gaza Strip.

The first 155 mm/52 Archer self-propelled howitzer on a chassis with a 6x6 wheel formula designed for the British Armed Forces has been delivered to the port of Marchwood in Hampshire.

The Lebanese Hezbollah, apparently, has twin launchers of anti-tank guided missiles "Dehlaviya", which are Iranian clones of the famous "Cornet".

Western observers, based on the data of the Ukrainian side, point to an alleged increase in cases of the defeat of the newest T-90M tanks at the front. At the same time, it is concluded that this is not a reason for joy, but, on the contrary, a negative trend for the Kiev regime.

A failure that was repeated half a century later

Hamas (the "Islamic Resistance Movement") apparently deliberately timed the attack on Israel to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the beginning of the October 1973 war, which in Israel is called the Yom Kippur War.

The Israeli armed forces, for some reason called the "defense army", twice made large-scale incursions into the small country of Lebanon ravaged by civil war.

According to Deputy Prime Minister Denis Manturov, the T-72B3M and T-90 are the most popular tanks and have proven themselves well in the area of their own

The Uralvagonzavod Research and Production Corporation (part of the Uralvagonzavod Concern (UVZ) of the Rostec State Corporation) supplied the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation with a batch of T-90M "Breakthrough" and T72B3M tanks with additional protection. This was reported in the press service of the UVZ on the occasion of the 87th anniversary of the enterprise.
