Recent images shared on social media by the Ukrainian government show Ukrainian forces using Russian equipment with American ammunition.
This somewhat unusual combination is indeed possible, and we will explain why. This combination was highlighted by the using of a Ukrainian
2S7 Pion self-propelled gun with 203mm M106 ammunition of US origin.

  Ukrainian National Guard gets new Novator-2 armored vehicles


NEWSARMY By Dylan Malyasov jul 1, 2024

The Ukrainian National Guard has received its first delivery of the latest Novator-2 armored vehicles.

The Novator-2 is an evolution of the original Novator vehicle, which has been in service with Ukrainian defense forces since 2018. This new model was first unveiled at the International Defense Industry Exhibition MSPO in Poland in September 2023.

Developed during the ongoing war with Russia, the Novator-2 incorporates feedback and combat experience from various military units using the original Novator in the field. The vehicle was specifically designed to meet the needs of frontline troops, capable of carrying a combat group of nine soldiers.


“Novator-2 was manufactured to our specifications. It was crucial for us to obtain an armored vehicle suited for a combat group of nine soldiers. This was a frontline request, reflecting the current needs of our fighters. Every combat brigade of the National Guard will receive these vehicles,” stated Oleksandr Bilous, Deputy Commander of the Ukrainian National Guard, during the handover ceremony.

The development of the Novator-2 took into account all the requirements of the National Guard. Before entering serial production, the vehicle underwent nearly a year of rigorous testing. “Ukrainian Armor was the first manufacturer to start supplying vehicles with electronic warfare capabilities. We hope for continued collaboration and feedback from combat units regarding the vehicle’s performance in combat conditions to continually improve it based on the realities of modern warfare,” said Vladyslav Belbas, CEO of Ukrainian Armor LLC.

The introduction of the Novator-2 is expected to enhance the operational effectiveness of the Ukrainian National Guard, providing them with a robust and reliable armored vehicle designed to withstand the rigors of contemporary combat.

Germany delivers third Patriot air defense system to Ukraine amid rising Russian missile attacks


On July 5, 2024, Martin Jaeger, the German Ambassador to Ukraine, announced that the third Patriot air defense system from Germany had arrived
in Ukraine. This system is intended to enhance the protection of the country's population and infrastructure against aircraft, drones, and missiles.
The Ukrainian crew assigned to the system has completed relevant training in Germany over the past few months.


Initially designed to replace the Nike Hercules and Hawk systems, the Patriot integrates more advanced radar and missile technology. The
system's name, "Patriot," is derived from its radar component, "Phased Array Tracking Radar to Intercept on Target." (Picture source: Army

 Ukraine to get additional artillery systems from UK

NEWSARMY By Dylan Malyasov Jul 9, 2024

UK Defense Secretary John Healey announced a comprehensive new military aid package for Ukraine during a meeting with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Ukrainian Defense Minister Rustem Umerov in Odesa.

The aid package, which underscores the UK’s unwavering support for Ukraine, includes critical artillery systems, ammunition, and precision missiles.

The newly announced military aid package includes more artillery guns, a quarter of a million rounds of 50 caliber ammunition, nearly 100 precision Brimstone missiles, 50 small military boats for riverine and coastal operations, 10 AS90 self-propelled howitzers (SPHs), 32 barrels for previously delivered AS90s, enabling them to fire an additional 60,000 rounds of 155 mm ammunition, 40 demining vehicles
61 bulldozers.

Healey emphasized the urgency of the support, pledging to fast-track the delivery of this aid within the next 100 days. “As the new defense secretary, I will ensure that we reinvigorate Britain’s support by stepping up supplies of vital military aid,” he stated.

The UK’s commitment to Ukraine has been unwavering since the onset of the full-scale Russian invasion on February 24, 2022. To date, the UK has provided over GBP 7.6 billion (nearly USD 9.8 billion) in military assistance. This new package builds on the substantial aid announced in April, which included over 1,600 strike and air-defense missiles, Storm Shadow cruise missiles, and various armored and naval vehicles.

Healey reiterated the UK’s firm stance against Russian aggression, stating, “Our commitment to stand with the Ukrainian people is absolute, as is our resolve to confront Russian aggression and pursue President Vladimir Putin for his war crimes.”

Le Danemark achète 18 obusiers automoteurs Bohdana pour l’Ukraine


Le 10 juillet 2024, le Danemark a annoncé le don de 18 obusiers automoteurs Bohdana de 155 mm à l’Ukraine, qui devraient être livrés dans
les prochains mois. La visite du ministre danois de la Défense Poulsen aux entreprises de l’industrie de la défense à Kiev plus tôt cette année
a conduit à la reconnaissance des avantages de l’acquisition d’équipements directement auprès du secteur de la défense ukrainien.
Cette approche répond aux besoins immédiats des forces ukrainiennes et soutient l’industrie de défense locale, offrant des avantages logistiques.



Le Bohdana 1.0 original était basé sur un châssis KrAZ-63221 6x6, suivi du Bohdana 2.0 sur un châssis MAZ-6317, et du Bohdana 3.0, qui

 Trop peu de missiles sol-air, trop peu de batteries de DCA, trop peu de F-16…, selon Kiev

11/07/2024 |

En effet, le président ukrainien est bien loin d’avoir vu ses demandes exaucées par ses alliés. Il rentre sans les vitaux moyens de défense antiaérienne qui lui permettraient de lutter efficacement contre les tirs de missiles russes et les raids de l’aviation visant aveuglément le territoire ukrainien.

Mercredi, dans une déclaration commune, plusieurs pays de l’Otan (les États-Unis, l’Allemagne, l’Italie, les Pays-Bas et la Roumanie), ont confirmé l’envoi d’un total de cinq systèmes de défense aérienne supplémentaires destinés à protéger les villes, les civils et les soldats ukrainiens. Outre quatre batteries de Patriot, Kiev va percevoir une batterie de SAMP/T, un système de missiles de fabrication franco-italienne.

Toutefois, seule une batterie de Patriot, celle donnée par les États-Unis, représente une nouveauté par rapport à ce que Kiev s’est vu promettre au cours des dernières semaines, après des appels répétés du président Zelensky. Quant au SAMP/T, Rome avait déjà dit, dès avril, être prêt à le livrer.

Certes, les Alliés se sont également engagés à fournir d’autres Patriot ou systèmes équivalents « cette année », et des « dizaines » de systèmes tactiques de défense antiaérienne, « dans les prochains mois ». Mais comment se suffire d’annonces quand il est essentiel de protéger urgemment le territoire ukrainien et d’interdire à l’aviation russe d’affirmer sa supériorité dans le ciel d’Ukraine ?

Le bilan des derniers raids russes témoigne du calvaire des populations et de la destruction systématique des infrastructures civiles et militaires par les Russes. Des Russes qui visent aussi avec efficacité les bases aériennes susceptibles d’accueillir incessamment les fameux chasseurs bombardiers F-16 promis par plusieurs alliés de Kiev.

Moins d’une centaine de F-16
Les avions promis par le Danemark et les Pays-Bas sont d’ailleurs « en cours de transfert » et seront opérationnels cet été, selon un communiqué de la Maison-Blanche. D’autres F-16 seront fournis par la Belgique et la Norvège (6 avions livrés cette année). Le parc comptera environ 80 appareils à terme. Selon le Center for Strategic and International Studies, l’armée de l’Air ukrainienne aurait besoin de 12 escadrons de chasseurs F-16, soit 216 avions! On en est très loin.

Pour le très optimiste secrétaire d’État américain Antony Blinken, la livraison de ces avions devrait « faire réfléchir » le président russe Vladimir Poutine « sur le fait qu’il ne survivra pas à l’Ukraine, qu’il ne nous survivra pas et que, s’il persiste, les dommages qui continueront d’être causés à la Russie et à ses intérêts ne feront que s’aggraver ».

L’annonce conjointe des Américains, Néerlandais, Danois, Belges et Norvégiens va-t-elle redonner le sourire à Zelensky. Rien de moins sûr, l’Ukrainien jugeant désormais ses alliés sur leurs livraisons et pas sur leurs promesses.
