In the battles in Ukraine, the skills of the World of Tanks game were used. Despite the fact that computer games are scolded, the experience gained in the game World of Tanks helped Russian tankers in the battles in Ukraine.
Ukraine will receive Bofors L70 automatic anti-aircraft guns from Lithuania. The development of the Bofors L70 began in the 1930s in Sweden by the Bofors company, they went into production in 1951. The 40mm Bofors L/70 towed anti-aircraft gun is based on the Bofors L60 gun. The guns were actively used in local conflicts of the Cold War. It is assumed that the guns were transferred to fight UAVs, including Geran drones. The rate of fire of the gun is 240 rounds per minute; range - up to 12 km, effective range 3 km. Calculation of the installation of 7 people. On the basis of this gun, a number of shipborne and self-propelled anti-aircraft systems of the sixties were created.
Poland announced about the supply of about 10 German Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine, most likely an early version of the Leopard 2A4 tanks will be delivered, a modification of the Leopard 2A5 tank, most likely Poland will leave for its army. The German Leopard 2A4 is the most massive version of the tank, about 2500 of them have been built since 1985, since 2000 Germany began to sell them. The Leopard 2A4 is equipped with an accurate 120 mm L44 smoothbore gun, the gun is manually reloaded by the loader. Aiming range of the gun: in a static position - 3500 meters. The tank is protected by three-layer combined armor. The Leopard 2 saw action in Afghanistan and performed well as an infantry support vehicle. In the fighting of Turkey in Syria, on the first day of fighting, 10 out of 30 tanks were lost. Tanks were hit on the sides of the tanks by American TOW-2 anti-tank systems, Russian anti-tank systems and RPG-7 grenade launchers. It is worth noting that this happened due to the wrong tactics of using tanks. Despite this, do not underestimate the car, the tank is popular all over the world and is in service with 18 countries. Competitors to the German tank, later versions of the T-72B, T-90 tanks of different versions, this is a superficial comparison. The Leopard 2 is equipped with a 1500 hp engine capable of propelling a 56 ton tank up to 60 km/h over rough terrain. The crew of the tank is 4 people.
In Moscow, the strengthening of air defense began, it is not known what this is connected with, but the Pantsir-S1 air defense missile system was installed on the roof of one of the buildings. Perhaps this was done to protect against drones, since it is difficult for anti-aircraft systems to fix them in urban areas.
The first footage of the use of French 155-mm howitzers TRF1 by the Ukrainian army has appeared. The howitzers were not supplied free of charge, they were purchased by the Ukrainian army. The TRF1 howitzer was first introduced in 1979 and has now been withdrawn from service. The TRF1 is a 155mm self-propelled howitzer. Over long distances, the gun is transported by a tractor, and it can move across the battlefield using its own power plant at a speed of 8 km/h. During operation, various technical difficulties arose with howitzers, this determined their fate and the French army began to replace them with Caesar self-propelled guns. In terms of their fire capabilities, the TRF1 howitzers are similar to the German-Italian FH70, which were previously transferred to Ukraine, we talked about them. The firing range of the gun is 24 km with conventional projectiles and 30 km with active-rocket projectiles. Rate of fire 6 rounds per minute. Calculation of tools 8 people.
52-mm self-propelled howitzer 2S3 "Acacia" of the Ukrainian army, came under attack from the Russian kamikaze drone "Lancet". The installation was protected from above by a canopy from drones, but the operator was able to direct the drone under the protective canopy of the self-propelled guns.

Marker unmanned reconnaissance and strike vehicles will be sent to Ukraine. The Russian military robot "Marker" has its own firepower and an automatic control system, it is able to determine the exact coordinates of the enemy at a distance of up to 15 km and select targets. "Markers" are able to support the system of operation of tethered drones used to monitor the situation and have a visibility of tens of kilometers. Since 2021, the Wheeled Marker has been used to guard the Vostochny Cosmodrome, where it has already proven its effectiveness. How the robots will be used is still unknown.
