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 utilise un châssis tchèque Tatra T815-7 avec une cabine blindée Puma de l’armée Excalibur. (Source de l’image : ministère ukrainien de la Défense)
Ukrainian Air Force Could Receive Polish MiG-29s as Conflict Intensifies
As the conflict in Ukraine intensifies, Poland is considering donating its remaining MiG-29 fighter jets to enhance the Ukrainian Air Force. This potential support follows recent discussions between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk in Warsaw, where a security agreement was signed, highlighting ongoing military cooperation between the two nations.

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.
Czech Republic Delivers More Than 30,000 RPG-75M Rocket Launchers to Ukraine.

Ukraine Uses SHARK Drone to Enhance HIMARS Rocket Launcher Accuracy Against Russian Air Defenses

Ukraine conducts first combat missions with newly arrived US F-16 fighter jets
According to several sources on July 31, 2024, the first batch of F-16 fighter jets from NATO allies arrived in Ukraine, with six aircraft confirmed from the Netherlands and a photograph released by "Dumskaya" providing proof. The reaction has been mixed, with officials maintaining strategic ambiguity, while initial combat missions have already been conducted. Despite the small number of planes, this marks a significant step in enhancing Ukraine's defense capabilities to counter Russian aerial threats.

First batch of F-16 fighter jets arrives in Ukraine
NewsAviation By Dylan Malyasov Aug 4, 2024
Ukraine has received its first batch of F-16 fighter jets as part of international support to bolster its defense capabilities.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed the arrival and expressed gratitude to the partner nations involved.
“I am proud of our personnel who have mastered these aircraft and begun using them for our state. I thank our team for this achievement and our partners—Denmark, the Netherlands, and the United States—for their support. Your assistance is invaluable,” said President Zelenskyy.
The newly arrived F-16s performed demonstration flights over major Ukrainian cities including Kyiv, Odesa, Vinnytsia, Dnipro, and Lviv, showcasing their capabilities to the public and military alike.
On July 31, Bloomberg reported that Ukraine had received its first F-16 fighter jets. This information was later confirmed by Lithuanian Foreign Minister Gabrielius Landsbergis. According to The Times, the initial delivery includes six aircraft from the Netherlands, with additional jets expected soon from Denmark.
Ukraine is set to receive a total of 79 F-16s from its allies. Of these, 20 are scheduled to be delivered by the end of 2024, with the remaining aircraft arriving in batches throughout 2025, enhancing Ukraine’s defensive and offensive aerial capabilities.
The arrival of these jets marks a significant milestone in Ukraine’s ongoing efforts to strengthen its military infrastructure amid ongoing conflicts, demonstrating international solidarity and support for its sovereignty.
