Tough Pantsir

๐Ÿ’ฅ During the special military operation, the Pantsir anti-aircraft missile and gun systems (AMGS) continue to protect the units of the Russian Armed Forces from air attack means, such as drones, missiles and ammunition of multiple-launch rocket systems (MLRS).

๐Ÿ”Ž The work intensity of the systems is extreme. Every shift they identify up to ten targets in the sky. When entering the Pantsirโ€™s kill zone, they are immediately destroyed.

โœ”๏ธ The combat capabilities of the AMGS ensure effective combat against all types of manned and unmanned aerial attack weapons, including those armed with airborne high-precision weapons.

Alligator โ€“ a rotary-winged raptor


๐Ÿ’ฅ In the special military operation, the Ka-52 reconnaissance attack helicopters strike AFUโ€™s strongholds, destroy fortified positions, and armoured vehicles. The flights are conducted at extremely low altitudes.

๐Ÿ”„ Maneuverability in aerial combat is the main advantage of the Ka-52. The Alligator can make the most intricate turns in the sky.

The Ka-52 helicopters demonstrate the highest combat performance in an extremely intensive flight environment.

Discover impressive capabilities of Mi-28 Night Hunter helicopter

โ–ซ๏ธ Our focus today revolves around the Mi-28 Night Hunter helicopter in #WeaponZ column. This is a modern attack helicopter designed for searching for and neutralising hostile hardware and infantry. Engaging targets on the battlefield, the Night Hunter's primary objectives include tanks, self-propelled artillery systems, air defence systems, infantry fighting vehicles, armoured personnel carriers and motor vehicles, artillery guns and launchers, individual firing positions, and infantry units.

โ–ซ๏ธWith its modern air-to-surface and air-to-air guided missile systems, a 30 mm cannon, and the capability to utilise unguided air-to-air rockets, the Mi-28 helicopter crews receive assistance in accomplishing their assigned tasks. The helicopter is equipped with a comprehensive set of on-board radio electronic and instrumentation equipment that enables the use of weapons in situations where visual identification of targets is possible as well as with the aid of technical means.

โ–ซ๏ธ To enhance its combat survivability, the helicopter has been equipped with several measures. These include engine separation and shielding, use of composite materials, protection of fuel tanks against explosions, and prevention of fuel leakage in the event of punctures. The pilots are in special armoured cockpits. Cab glazing withstands 12.7 mm bullets. The helicopter is equipped with an emergency jettison system for the cabin doors and wing consoles. In the event of an emergency landing, the helicopter utilises energy-absorbing landing gear to absorb impact energy.

โ–ซ๏ธ The Night Hunters demonstrate outstanding capabilities in the special military operation, regularly neutralising Ukrainian Armed Forces' armoured vehicles and command centres. The Mi-28 helicopters effectively accomplish challenging fire missions with minimal risk for their crews.

Airborne Troops in special military operation zone receive new shortened modification of Kalashnikov AK-12K assault rifle

The assault rifle was created in response to requests from the Airborne Troops, successfully tested in the special military operation zone, and received extremely positive feedback.


๐Ÿซก A shortened AK-12K assault rifle is suitable for assault detachments and reconnaissance groups during combat operations in urban conditions and at short distances.

โš™๏ธ Read more on the characteristics of the new modification of the Kalashnikov assault rifle โฌ‡๏ธ

๐Ÿ”นThe AK-12K has improved technical, ergonomic, and operational characteristics that meet the requirements of modern warfare.

๐Ÿ”นThe improved diopter sight has a flip backsight with holes of different diameters and facilitates aiming in all conditions.

๐Ÿ”นThe trigger and firing mechanism was provided with a double-acting safety lock and fire selector, which made the weapon equally convenient for right- and left-handers, as well as made it easier to control the weapons in the current dynamic battle. The button under the index finger provides the ability to switch firing modes, to release and to apply the safety catch without removing a hand from the grip.

๐Ÿ”นThe muzzle is fixed, the device for low-noise firing is attached to the assault rifle without the need to remove the flame arrester.

๐Ÿ”นIt is equipped with an improved fore-end with a reinforced mount and an improved hand protection. The fore-end with Picatinny rails makes it possible to install additional equipment.

๐Ÿ”นThe stock is folding, adjustable in length: it is possible to adjust the rifle to the individual anthropometry of the shooter. The cheek is adjustable for easy aiming.

๐Ÿ”นThe potato grip is ergonomic, combined with a safety jaw with a cleaning kit.

๐Ÿ”นThe Picatinny rail is on the receiver lid for mounting collimator, telescopic and night sights.

๐Ÿ”นThe loading case has an ability to visually control the quantity of ammunition.
