Russia to deploy two variants of S-500 missile defense system to Ukraine very soon:
kinda hard to believe. New system tho will indeed equip those units protecting Moscow first, then trickled down to other units.
Probably using Ukraine for testing the system or a response to longer range ATACMS ?kinda hard to believe. New system tho will indeed equip those units protecting Moscow first, then trickled down to other units.
So why deploying to Ukraine ?S-500 is not necessary at all against ATACMS. Those typically get intercepted by Buk-M3 and could also be intercepted by S-350.
The S-500 systems will go to defend major cities and strategically important targets against ICBMs and IRBMs.
Repair of a Ukrainian Leopard 2A6 tank by Russian mechanics. Russian mechanics inspected a Ukrainian Leopard 2A6 tank made in Germany in 1999. Previously, the tank was used by the 47th separate mechanized brigade of the Ukrainian Army; the tank ran over a mine and was abandoned in the Avdiivka direction, where it stood in a field for a long time due to problems with evacuation. The Leopard 2A6 tank was produced in Germany since 1997; when the tanks arrived in Ukraine, they were equipped with additional grilles to protect against cumulative ammunition. We are publishing an interview with mechanics talking about the Leopard 2A6 tank, they promise to restore the tank within 2 days, but judging by the damage, this will be difficult to do. Most likely the tank is being prepared for the May holidays.
The only thing you can glean from it is that supply of Pantsir will double this year. (Presumably from previous year) along with New generation of radars. the rest is usual stuff.Russia to deploy two variants of S-500 missile defense system to Ukraine very soon:
New generation radar stations, in addition to Pantsir missile and anti-aircraft gun systems, the supply of which Shoigu said would increase
approximately twice this year
Tank truck ATsPT-10-53501 of the Russian Army, review. The video shows the Russian tanker ATsPT-10-53501, which is now used to distribute water to residents of the Orenburg region. The ATsPT-10 tank truck was put into service in 2020 and is produced by the Spetstekhmash and Start plants. ATsPT-10 is located on the KAMAZ-53501 chassis and is intended for transportation and short-term storage of food liquids and water. The necks of the tanker are closed with thermally insulated lids, and the pipelines are thermally insulated to prevent freezing. The ATsPT tank truck is equipped with a heating system for the tank and pump compartment, and is also equipped with two unloading hoses, which are located in the canisters on the sides of the vehicle. The tank is drained and filled through a pipeline made of stainless pipe. The pumping unit is driven from the vehicle's hydraulic system. The control panel is located in the closed maintenance compartment of the tank and is equipped with a sound and light warning system for maximum filling. The tank capacity is 10 cubic meters or 10,000 liters. Pump capacity is 35,000 liters per hour.
Russian military personnel showed the Akhmat armored car with maximum all-round homemade protection against drones. The creation, of course, resembles the cars from the movie “Mad Max,” but such protection, despite its appearance, really works. Additional screens protect the vehicle from attacks from FPV drones and loitering munitions. Screens can also protect against projectiles thrown from quadcopters. In addition to lattice screens, the armored car was equipped with steel sheets to protect the chassis. Z-STS Akhmat armored vehicles are produced at the Remdizel plant in Naberezhnye Chelny. Russian armored vehicles "Akhmat" are made on a three-axle all-wheel drive chassis "KAMAZ-5350", they are inferior in tactical and technical parameters to armored vehicles "Typhoon", but at the same time they are much cheaper.
If you read the webpage, they are assuming the S-500 will be deployed to Ukraine, but there is no official mention by the Russian government or defense ministry of this being the case. They are just making things up.So why deploying to Ukraine ?
