US newspaper names Ukraine's main weapon that can fight against Russia
(Baonghean.vn) - The US news site 19FortyFive lists Ukraine's main weapons that can be used against Russia. The list includes 5 types of weapons that, according to the news site, Kiev can use if a war breaks out against Moscow.
Topping the list is the T-64BV tank. According to the newspaper, Ukraine currently has about 210 such combat vehicles. The article says that the T-64BV stands out thanks to improved night-vision capabilities, satellite navigation systems, and enhanced explosive reactive armor.
Next on the list is the FGM-148 Javelin mobile anti-tank missile system (ATGM) provided by the US to Ukraine. The publication recalls that the ATGM operates on the "fire and forget" principle.

The third weapon is the Ukrainian Olkha-M multiple launch rocket system (MRLS), which, as the article asserts, has "particularly dangerous" firepower.
The Ukrainian Bogdana six-wheeled howitzer closes the list, “capable of firing four to eight rounds per minute and with a range of 40 km.”
“Sometimes defensive operations can cause more damage than offensive operations. The Ukrainians can use the common tactic of attrition for all branches of the army – destroying as many enemy armored vehicles and support troops as possible,” the authors wrote on 19FortyFive./.
