Ukraine introduces the world's unique weapon

Information about the new weapon was reported by KyivPost, the UAV uses an electric motor that allows it to hover around the target for up to 40 minutes and can dive down to the target at a speed of 70km/h.

Although the specific identity of this suicide UAV has not been announced, according to the manufacturer, the UAV is 1.78m long, has a wingspan of 2.3m and weighs 8kg, and is equipped with a 3kg warhead - firepower strong enough to destroy all current tanks.

With state-of-the-art equipment, this UAV can hunt targets at a distance of 30km, with an error of 2m when using a self-guided sensor, making it very suitable for attacking warehouses, bases, combat vehicles and tanks.

Along with introducing a new line of suicide UAVs, Ukraine's defense industry also launched high-tech 152mm ammunition - a type of ammunition that no other country in the world has.

The new generation ammunition is designed to destroy fortifications, artillery and enemy fire, as well as structures and obstacles, said Pavlo Bukin, Director General of the UkrOboronProm State Concern (UOP). It is designed for one of the world's longest-range artillery systems.

Pavlo Bukin emphasized that other UOP enterprises - in addition to SJSHC Artem - are also engaged in the production of ammunition, responsible for initiating agents, explosives and blasting powders.

Cooperation of UOP enterprises allows us to produce artillery ammunition in the shortest possible time, to meet the requirements of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. This is an important step, increasing the combat capabilities of the Ukrainian Army.

Currently, the tests are being carried out at the Chernihiv firing range. The specified characteristics of the projectiles have been confirmed during the tests. Production of ammunition is being carried out within the framework of the target program, approved by the President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko.

It is known that the 152mm ammunition belongs to the high-tech ammunition production program that Ukraine is developing - the type of ammunition that can make not only Russia but also the US admire.

According to Defence-blog, the Russian manufacturer has just successfully tested a completely new generation of artillery shells that do not use conventional gunpowder, but instead use a mixture of gas and oxygen to launch the shell.

Talking about the advantages of this technology, the manufacturer said that while traditional bullets are easily affected by the external environment and will lose their ballistic properties over time, bullet technology using a mixture of gas and oxygen will be much more stable.

The representative added that the firing range of the artillery shell depends on the gas mixture. The special feature of this bullet technology is that the gunner does not even need to adjust the firing angle.

But initially, this type of artillery shell only reached a modest firing range of 1.5 km in the tests. According to the plan, after going through the testing and production process, the new type of shell will be first equipped for the armored force of Ukraine.
