Who is arming Ukraine, and what weapons does Russia expect?
The Czech company Isolit-Bravo will provide the Ukraine’s military with UGV Trail-Blazer ground drones, which can transport cargo or evacuate the wounded.
Ukraine began producing an armored automated system for ShaBlya machine guns. Through their remote operation, these turrets can save the lives of machine gunners. The development has moved from a startup to a permanent project contracted by the state.
Unfortunately, Canada still has not handed over to Ukraine a NASAMS system worth $406M, which should have been delivered on January 10, 2023. But Canada plans to pay the equipment’s full cost to the US government, and America will deliver the equipment directly to Ukraine.
Meanwhile, Iran has developed a new long-range Shahed-107 kamikaze drone model for Russia with a range of up to 1,500 km. The Iranian side has already offered Moscow several units of the new UAV as part of an agreement worth more than $2M.
Soon, Russia will also receive high-precision surface-to-surface missile complexes with a range of more than 300 km from Iran.
