Article I found from May 2022. I'm just including the first paragraph of it. Visit the page directly to read the whole thing.


"The new addition to the small arms inventory of the Ukrainian Armed Forces is a UAR-15 (Zbroyar Z-15), which, as you can easily guess, is one of the many clones of the AR-15. As the war in Ukraine continues, the lack of weapons forced local arms manufacturers to produce new weapons and equipment to help Ukrainian Armed Forces. The Zbroyar LLC answered the call."

Someone tried it

Also, this song makes me want to go out and beat someone up.

EDIT: added a second video

Anyone know or have a guess on what the strategy will be with the F16s?

Thanks WhiskeyOutpost for the subtitles!

"The developer of the Ukrainian RAM II kamikaze drone, Vadym Kodachigov, told (https://suspilne.media/332296-rosian...-drona-ram-ii/) Suspilny about his aircraft.

✅ Who makes RAM II?

About a dozen enterprises are involved in the development of this model and the supply of components. All companies are interchangeable. If there is one difficulty - there are no parts or the general designer suddenly disappeared - it will be replaced by another company.

✅ How many percent of this drone is Ukrainian?

All the most important components of the drone – video channel, telemetry, control – are made in Ukraine. We manufacture the most complex - means of communication of unmanned vehicles. Of course, we purchase radio parts for production.

✅ What is the production time of one drone?

There are many factors involved, complicated math. So far, it is possible to produce about a hundred units per month. Powers are such, and they can be increased.

✅ What targets does the drone hit?

He attacks tanks, APCs, BMPs, and MSGs, which is especially important because they cause a lot of trouble. If the drone hits an infantry fighting vehicle or an armored personnel carrier, you can survive, but the vehicle itself will be disabled. If it is in a tank, then it will not fly into the air, as in the movies, but will be damaged and will not be able to perform combat tasks.

✅ What is unique about RAM II?

It is equipped with the most modern developments, which allow, despite the use of EWs (means of radio-electronic warfare), to bring the drone to the target and hit it. One plane - one target. It will be difficult for the Russians to fight him. We understand how to intercept and jam the control of drones, and we do our best to make it useless.

It also has a "mission cancellation" option. If you flew on a mission and the target hid, the drone can be returned. The detonator lock is activated and he sits down - either on a parachute or "on his belly". After that, it can be started again and the number of such starts is not limited.

And one of the most important technologies in this drone is a high-quality target capture system. 30x optics with gyro stabilization (a device that stabilizes the camera during flight) and digital stabilization. The drone captures a target from three kilometers away. If he caught her, at least wave a broom - he doesn't care. He attacks and cannot be stopped.

✅ What is the cost of a drone?

I can't name it, but it is proportional to its global counterparts. In addition, the price is much lower than the cost of some guided missiles. At the same time, RAM II is more accurate than almost all projectiles and is significantly more effective.

✅ How much explosives does a drone carry?

Three kilograms. This is enough to damage the tank. In general, there are several projectile options for the drone. Thermobaric - an effective device against the accumulation of enemy equipment or personnel on an area of about 20-30 square meters. Cumulative projectiles are anti-tank history. Fugas is a powerful anti-personnel weapon.

✅ How is it managed?

First, there is a search for goals. Further, with the help of reconnaissance drones, the coordinates are transmitted, with which the RAM II already takes off. If the enemy EW is turned on and jams the navigation, the drone can be piloted in manual control mode. The target is fixed, the last fuse is removed and he went to attack. Next, watch as TV. The drone attacks at a speed of 100-120 kilometers per hour.

NO MEDIA:
"Western F-16 fighter jets may already be in Ukraine, Newsweek (https://www.newsweek.com/ukraine-f16...a-su34-1855709)

ℹ️ In recent days, Russian or anti-Ukrainian Telegram channels have suggested that Ukraine may have begun using modern aircraft to destroy valuable and important Russian equipment.

ℹ️ A source in the US told Newsweek on Wednesday that it is likely that Ukraine has indeed received the first of the promised F-16s.

ℹ️ Over the past three weeks, Russia has lost eight aircraft, which dealt a blow to the Moscow Air Force.

"I hope the West has learned NOT to announce new weapons systems, as it did for the most part during the first 20 months of the war", said Daniel Rice, a former special adviser to the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, General Valery Zaluzhny."

Putin's ally dies falling from his house window.

A former member of Vladamir Putin’s United Russia, Vladamir Egorov, was found dead in his courtyard after falling 30 feet.

Egorov, a lawyer, was found on Wednesday and his cause of death is being investigated by Russian police.

Russian media outlets report his death was under mysterious circumstances.

The New York Post has cited the 72-news outlet that reported that Egorov may have suffered heart problems before his deadly fall.

Russia has used heart problems as an explanation for the deaths of many other prominent Russian people in the past.

The chairman of Russia’s Lukoil oil giant, Ravil Maganov and senior Russian military officer, Marina Yankina both fell to their deaths, and both reportedly had heart problems.

Ah, let me guess.

You get the "VIPERS" up in the air, you locate a target, you blow it up, then you come home.

Plain and simple !

This concludes our daily mission briefing.

Any questions !

"Avdiyivka He visited the positions of the 110th separate mechanized brigade named after Corporal General Mark Bezruchka. One of the most difficult areas of the front.

He thanked the soldiers personally. We discussed the defense situation and basic needs with the commander. Honored the best soldiers with state awards and awarded the "Golden Star" of the Hero of Ukraine to junior sergeant Ihor Tymoshchuk.

Thank you to everyone who is on the front lines, for their service, for this year, which the whole country endured thanks to such soldiers. To those who protect our country despite everything. Those who give combat results every day."
