The Ukrainian leadership claims that Kiev managed to create new weapons. Critics argue that it’s just about upgraded versions,” the Serbian edition Evening News writes today.
This is the T-72AMT tank, which President Petro Poroshenko reported on his Facebook page. But, according to experts, this is a modernized T-72A.
Also Secretary of the Security Council, Alexander Turchinov, announced a new 155 mm caliber howitzer that was named “Bogdan”. It can “fire” six grenades per minute and use ammunition according to NATO standards.
“Critics argue that in fact it is a modernized Soviet howitzer Msta-B.” After the collapse of the USSR, 165 such howitzers remained in the territory of Ukraine, -the Serbian “Novosti” writes.
The fact that Bogdan uses ammunition according to NATO standards, suggests that Kiev plans to sell it in the West. But the competition among such artillery installations is so high that it hardly costs anything to count, the author believes.
“It is especially troubling that Kiev plans to use new tanks and howitzers to “liberate” Donbass. Poroshenko does not see and does not hear that most Ukrainians are tired of the war and believe that the issue of reintegration should be solved peacefully, because so many people died And for the restoration of towns and villages, where military operations have been going on, a lot of money is needed, Ukraine does not have them, and it counts on international assistance.
