Western allies began pouring weapons and ammunition into Ukraine shortly after Russia launched its military operation in February 2022. The Kremlin has repeatedly warned that further escalation would lead to NATO's direct involvement in the conflict.
The Russian Defense Ministry has released footage of Russian troops destroying a platoon of Ukrainian Leopard 2A6 tanks in the Svatovsk region as they attempted to attack Russian positions.
The video shows three Leopard 2A6s with distinctive additional turret protection being hit for assured destruction by multiple munitions, including Lancet kamikaze drones.
The Leopard 2 is a main battle tank widely used by several European countries, including Germany, the Netherlands, and Switzerland. It is equipped with a 120 mm smoothbore gun, a powerful engine, and sophisticated armor protection.
Watch Russian Ka-52 Alligators Strike Ukrainian Strongholds, Manpower in Krasny Liman
The Russian Ka-52 Alligator is a highly advanced attack helicopter that has been in service with the Russian Army since the mid-2000s. It is a multirole aircraft capable of performing a wide range of missions, including reconnaissance, air support, and anti-tank operations.
The Russian Defense Ministry has released footage of a Russian Army Aviation strike group hitting Ukrainian strongholds and manpower in the Krasny Liman area. The attack was carried out with S-8 unguided air missiles. The group included several Ka-52 Alligator reconnaissance and attack helicopters.
As the commander of the Ka-52 helicopter noted, after the combat mission, the crews performed an anti-missile maneuver and returned to the base.
Russian Armed Forces Receive New Yastreb-AV Artillery Reconnaissance System
The artillery reconnaissance system is designed to provide intelligence and targeting data to artillery units. Using advanced sensors, communication systems, and data processing capabilities, the system enables artillery commanders to quickly and accurately identify enemy positions.
Russian troops in the special military operation are using the new Yastreb-AV artillery reconnaissance system as part of counter-battery combat, the Russian Defense Ministry said.
The new 1K148 Yastreb-AV has been put into service with Russian artillery units in the special military operation zone. Together with the Zoopark-1M complex, Yastreb-AV provides detection of Ukrainian artillery firing positions. At the same time, the characteristics of the new complex are superior.
"Today, the effective performance of combat tasks by missile operators and artillerymen, together with the use of UAVs, which increases the effectiveness of artillery fire and survivability on the battlefield, is also ensured by the use of modern artillery reconnaissance equipment such as Zoopark-1M and Yastreb-AV," the ministry said in a statement.
The 1K148 Yastreb-AV radar complex is capable of automatically tracking the trajectory of shells fired by enemy artillery and determining the exact coordinates of their positions. The system is mounted on a four-axle BAZ-6910-025 chassis. The rear part of the chassis is designed for the installation of an antenna mast with a large-area canvas.
Particular characteristics of the Yastreb-AV have not been disclosed, while tests were completed in late 2021 or early 2022, and it was recently delivered to Russian troops.
