Textron Systems announced on 1 February that it had signed a contract with the Ukrainian government to supply three Survivable Combat Tactical Vehicles (SCTVs).
The contract, for an undisclosed amount, makes Ukraine the launch customer for the SCTV, which has also been pitched to Colombia and received interest from Georgia, Romania, and undisclosed NATO partner nations.
The vehicles will supplement a fleet of 230 High-Mobility Multi-Wheeled Vehicles (HMMWVs, or Humvees) that were pledged to Ukraine by the United States through an agreement to provide non-lethal aid to the Ukrainian government. Deliveries of a first batch of 10 vehicles took place in March 2015, with a further 100 being delivered in July.
The SCTV is an evolution of a platform for which Textron, and then-partner Granite, received a US Marine Corps (USMC) 2009 contract to provide armoured capsules to boost Humvee protection. According to company representatives, the package provides protection levels similar to the US Army's and USMC's Joint Light Tactical Vehicle, with five primary upgrade kits on offer covering body armour, suspension lift, brakes, power pack, and cooling. The design uses 70% legacy Humvee parts, but the upgrade package depends on the series and condition of the Humvees that are being refurbished as part of the programme.
The vehicle also provides increased protection for crews through a fully armoured, monocoque v-hull capsule, which helps to improve ballistic protection from mine strike and ambush.
The SCTV's latest version weighs about 13,000 lb and its payload allowance is 5,500 lb, giving a permissible gross vehicle weight of 18,500 lb: 5,000 lb more than an M1100-series Humvee.

La pilote ukrainienne Nadia Savtchenko refuse d'arrêter sa grève de la faim et de la soif
AFP 04/03/2016
La pilote militaire ukrainienne Nadia Savtchenko, qui risque 23 ans de prison en Russie où elle est accusée du meurtre de deux journalistes dans l'est séparatiste de l'Ukraine, a refusé d'arrêter sa grève de la faim et de la soif entamée jeudi, a annoncé vendredi son avocat.
"Nos arguments n'ont pas eu d'effet. Sa seule demande est d'être immédiatement renvoyée en Ukraine", a déclaré à l'AFP l'un de ses avocats, Nikolaï Polozov. "Elle n'a pas bu d'eau depuis que son procès a été ajourné" jeudi soir, a-t-il précisé alors que ses défenseurs craignent qu'en refusant de boire jusqu'à la reprise de son procès, mercredi prochain, Nadia Savtchenko ne fasse subir des dommages irrémédiables à sa santé et mette sa vie en danger. Selon M. Polozov, la pilote ukrainienne considère comme une "torture" toute tentative qui serait faite de la nourrir de force.
Nadia Savtchenko a entamé jeudi une grève de la faim et de la soif après le report inattendu de son procès, qui l'a empêchée de prononcer sa dernière déclaration avant que le tribunal ne se retire pour délibérer. La jeune femme de 34 ans avait déjà observé une grève de la faim de plus de 80 jours, qui avait pris fin en mars 2015, pour protester contre sa détention, mais c'est la première fois qu'elle se met également en grève de la soif.
Le porte-parole de la présidence russe, Dmitri Peskov, a refusé de commenter l'initiative de Mme Savtchenko, expliquant qu'il était mal placé pour parler de ce "procès (...) qui n'a rien à voir avec l'agenda" du Kremlin.
Mercredi, le Parquet russe a requis 23 ans de prison contre la pilote, jugée depuis l'été dernier par un tribunal de Donetsk, petite ville russe à quelques kilomètres de la frontière ukrainienne. Elle comparaît pour avoir, selon l'accusation, transmis à l'armée ukrainienne la position de deux journalistes russes tués par un tir de mortier dans l'est de l'Ukraine à l'été 2014.
Arrêtée début juillet 2014 sur le territoire russe selon Moscou, Mme Savtchenko accuse les rebelles prorusses de l'est de l'Ukraine de l'avoir capturée sur le territoire ukrainien et livrée aux autorités russes. Son arrestation lui a valu une forte popularité en Ukraine, où elle a été symboliquement élue députée aux législatives de 2014, en tête de liste du parti Batkivchtchina (Patrie) de l'ex-Premier ministre Ioulia Timochenko.
"Nous allons redoubler d'efforts pour faire revenir Nadia à la maison. C'est extrêmement important, important pour moi, important pour l'Ukraine, important pour chacun d'entre nous", a déclaré vendredi le président ukrainien Petro Porochenko dans un communiqué.
Mme Timochenko a de son côté salué le courage de la jeune femme, l'appelant néanmoins à mettre un terme à sa grève. "Cette femme extrêmement courageuse représente l'ensemble de l'Ukraine, qui ne se rendra jamais et se battra jusqu'au bout", a-t-elle dit, selon un communiqué de son parti publié jeudi.
Les Occidentaux ont appelé à plusieurs reprises à la libération de la pilote, une demande réitérée vendredi. "Nous voulons la voir libérée et qu'elle rentre à la maison", a déclaré le porte-parole du département d'Etat américain John Kirby. "L'Union européenne continue à appeler à la libération immédiate" de la pilote, "illégalement détenue en Russie", a déclaré de son côté la représentation de l'UE en Ukraine, dans un commentaire à l'agence Interfax-Ukraine.

La pilote ukrainienne Nadia Savtchenko s'est remise à boire mais continue sa grève de la faim
AFP 10/03/2016
La pilote militaire ukrainienne Nadia Savtchenko, jugée en Russie pour le meurtre de deux journalistes en Ukraine, s'est remise à s'hydrater mais continue la grève de la faim, a déclaré jeudi à l'AFP l'un de ses avocats.
Nadia Savtchenko, qui risque 23 ans de prison, "a arrêté sa grève de la soif et recommencé à boire de l'eau, mais elle continue sa grève de la faim", entamée au soir du 3 mars, a indiqué l'avocat Mark Feïguine. Il avait écrit initialement sur Twitter que la pilote ukrainienne avait arrêté sa grève de la faim et de la soif "à la demande du président ukrainien Petro Porochenko et de ses compatriotes", avant de revenir sur ses propos pour préciser qu'il s'agissait uniquement de l'abandon de la grève de la soif.
Pour sa part, Mme Savtchenko a affirmé qu'elle refuserait de manger jusqu'à l'énoncé du verdict attendu les 21 et 22 mars, dans une lettre rendue publique par Mark Feïguine. "J'ai reçu aujourd'hui des paroles de soutien du président ukrainien Petro Porochenko. Je sais que beaucoup de personnes font tout leur possible pour obtenir ma libération et je leur en suis très reconnaissante", a expliqué Nadia Savtchenko, en soulignant "avoir entendu" leur appel à recommencer à boire. "Je ne reconnaîtrai jamais ni ma culpabilité, ni la justice russe", a-t-elle réitéré.
Dans une lettre également rendue publique par M. Feïguine, Petro Porochenko a assuré sa compatriote que la "vérité" allait bientôt triompher dans son procès, en suggérant ainsi qu'elle pourrait être libérée. "Je sais que votre situation est très difficile, mais (...) nous ne voulons pas que votre santé se détériore. Nous avons besoin d'une Nadia Savtchenko en bonne santé (...) qui pourrait servir d'exemple aux autres", a souligné M. Porochenko, en proposant à la pilote un poste dans le gouvernement ukrainien.
Arrêtée début juillet 2014 sur le territoire russe selon Moscou, Mme Savtchenko accuse de son côté les rebelles prorusses de l'est de l'Ukraine de l'avoir capturée sur le territoire ukrainien et livrée aux autorités russes.
Jugée depuis l'été dernier par un tribunal de Donetsk, petite ville russe à quelques kilomètres de la frontière ukrainienne, Mme Savtchenko, contre qui le parquet russe a requis 23 ans de prison, est accusée d'avoir transmis à l'armée ukrainienne la position de deux journalistes russes tués par un tir de mortier dans l'est de l'Ukraine à l'été 2014.

Ukraine plans for 20 new «Gurza-M» patrol boats Mar 11, 2016
The Ukrainian Ministry of Defence plans to purchase up to 20 new armoured patrol boats for the Ukraine Coast Guard during the next three years, according to an official spokesman.
The new vessels, designated ‘Gurza-M’, will be built in the Lenin Kuznitsa shipyard hear Kiev and are designed for the protection of seaports, rivers and territorial waters.
The patrol boats will have the length of 23.7m and able to reach speeds of up to 25kts, with a maximum range of 700 miles. Armament includes two remote-controlled 30mm Katran-M weapon systems and small arms.
Currently the Ukrainian Navy has two such boats in its service, delivered in November 2015.
According to an official spokesman of the Ukrainian Ministry of Defence, in addition to the Gurza-M, up to seven ‘Lan’ fast missile boats may be purchase.
Government plans also include the provision of funds to complete the development of the Centaur amphibious assault boats.
The annexation of Crimea resulted in the significant reduction of the Ukrainian Coast Guard fleet, as a number of vessels were seized by Russia. This has brought about a number of procurement programmes aimed at building up naval and coast guard forces.
In November last year it was reported that the Ukrainian Navy and State Border Service could be merged into the State Border Guard Service in a bid to improve maritime security.

La pilote militaire ukrainienne Nadia Savtchenko condamnée à 22 ans de prison
AFP 22/03/2016
La pilote ukrainienne Nadia Savtchenko a été condamnée à 22 ans de prison par la justice russe au terme d'un procès qui l'a reconnue coupable de complicité dans le meurtre de deux journalistes russes, tués en juin 2014 dans l'est de l'Ukraine. Les six mois de procès de celle qui est devenue pour les Ukrainiens une icône dressée face à la Russie se sont achevés dans la confusion la plus totale, Nadia Savtchenko se mettant à chanter une chanson traditionnelle et recouvrant la voix du juge qui la déclarait coupable.
Selon son avocat Nikolaï Polozov à l'AFP, elle a été "reconnue coupable de tous les chefs d'accusation", notamment de complicité dans le meurtre des deux journalistes de la télévision publique russe, Igor Korneliouk et Anton Volochine, le 17 juin 2014 à Lougansk. "La sentence définitive est fixée à 22 ans de privation de liberté", a indiqué le juge du tribunal de la petite ville de Donetsk, proche de la frontière ukrainienne. Le Parquet russe avait pour sa part requis 23 ans de prison pour la pilote d'hélicoptère de 34 ans.
Nadia Savtchenko a également été condamnée à une amende de 30.000 roubles (390 euros) pour avoir "traversé illégalement la frontière avec la Russie", où elle a été arrêtée selon le tribunal. La pilote, qui rejette en bloc les accusations portées contre elle, assure avoir été capturée par des rebelles prorusses avant que les deux journalistes ne trouvent la mort, puis livrée à la Russie. L'un des avocats de la jeune femme, Mark Feïguine, a immédiatement appelé sur Twitter à organiser des "manifestations pacifiques" pour protester contre un "verdict criminel".
Le président ukrainien Petro Porochenko avait promis de faire "tout son possible" pour ramener chez elle Nadia Savtchenko, emprisonnée depuis 21 mois, évoquant un éventuel échange de prisonniers avec Moscou. Les Occidentaux ont à plusieurs reprises appelé à la libération immédiate de la pilote ukrainienne, élue symboliquement députée dans son pays pendant son incarcération.

EUCOM Nominee Would Consider Javelin in Ukraine Aaron Mehta, Defense News 12:42 p.m. EDT April 21, 2016
WASHINGTON — The likely next head of US forces in Europe believes there is a need in Ukraine for anti-tank weapons, and indicated a willingness to provide the Javelin system to Ukrainian forces during a hearing Thursday.
Appearing at his confirmation hearing before the Senate Armed Services Committee, Gen. Curtis Scaparrotti, the White House pick to lead US European Command (EUCOM), also said he would be interested in exploring whether a permanent brigade in Europe makes more sense than the current rotational plan.
Asked by committee Chairman Sen. John McCain if Ukraine should be provided defensive weaponry, Scaparrotti said, “I believe that we should provide the weaponry that we believe they need to defend their sovereignty, and that they are capable of using.”
Pressed specifically by the Arizona Republican on whether that includes Javelin weapons, Scaparrotti replied, “I think there is a requirement for an anti-tank weapon like Javelin in their situation.”
The question of whether Ukraine should be receiving more military aid is a hot one both on the Hill and in the Pentagon. However, Scaparrotti’s caveat that the Ukrainian forces should be given only what “they are capable of using” is an important one, as the Ukrainian military has struggled to transform itself into a modern fighting force.
