Ukrainian soldiers utilize British army vehicles for training - watch on - uatoday.tv
Some 55 UK Saxon armored personnel carriers are being used on the front line
Front line fighting in east Ukraine has almost completely ceased in recent weeks.
But training for servicemen never stops – and that's where these British armoured vehicles come in.
Several dozen Saxons were purchased from the UK, then delivered earlier this year. The equipment is not without its flaws, but is well suited for evacuating wounded comrades.

Several dozen Saxons were purchased from the UK, then delivered earlier this year. The equipment is not without its flaws, but is well suited for evacuating wounded comrades.
This soldier says it is a really beautiful vehicle and the armor is good. For evacuating personnel, the APC is great. Questioned whether it was awkward to work, he said, yes – its normal.
Some 55 of these Saxons were purchased. But what are their pros and cons? Well, the troops say inside, a good design. Automatic transmission, power steering and large windows. The main disadvantage – the suspension – not designed for Ukraine's pot-hole laden roads.
To add to the vehicle, a new weapon. An old machine gun transformed into a high-powered sniper rifle – capable of penetrating concrete walls. It's nothing developed armies around the world don't already have but for these soldiers, it's a weapon, made a fraction of the price and worth every dollar.

Ukrainian mechanics refurbish Soviet-era T-72 tanks for east Ukraine war effort - watch on - uatoday.tv
"Nobody thought we could do it, but we did it. And now they're ready for battle"
It's hard to believe but just a few months ago these tanks were scraps of metal. After years of neglect some even had trees growing through them.
But now after weeks of hard work by Ukrainian mechanics, several of the T-72 have been reassembled, refurbished and made ready for combat.
Yaroslav Bondini, mechanic: "They had trees growing out of them; it was very hard with parts as well. We remade one tank from three broken ones."
This tank has been completely refurbished with modern parts, which were purchased by various volunteer groups. It was put together by a team of mechanics which was led by a veteran who operated T-72 tanks during the Soviet-Afghan war.
Anatoliy Rudnyk, Ukrainian military: "The mechanics would get upset with me because I would yell at them when they were working on these tanks. Nobody thought that we could do it, but we did it. And now they are ready for battle."
The T-72 was one of the first tanks in the world to include an automated loading system and a gas turbine engine for propulsion. It was widely produced after World War Two in the Soviet Union.

Wednesday, October 14. KYIV – The President examined the exhibition of military equipment “Power of Unbroken” opened on Mykhailivska Square in Kyiv on the occasion of the Day of Defender of Ukraine. The exhibition demonstrates the achievements in military-defence sphere of the last 1.5 years: modern samples of military equipment, which is already at the disposal of Ukrainian defenders. “We’ve managed to create a modern, combat capable, patriotic and efficient army jointly in a bit more than a year. We forced military plants to work in three shifts without a weekend. We’ve eliminated corruption in military supply. Together with volunteers in the Ministry of Defence, we’ve dressed, fed and trained tens of thousands of troops. We’ve done it together, the entire Ukrainian nation. Warriors, volunteers, workers and engineers, diplomats and government officials,” the Head of State noted opening the exhibition. The exhibition also includes military equipment provided for Ukraine by our partners and allies from abroad. The President thanked states-partners of Ukraine in the face of representatives of foreign states who attended the exhibition for their essential assistance. “We do not need foreign soldiers. Ukrainians have enough skills and will power to defend their land from occupants. But we are grateful for defensive non-lethal weapons. But our main strength is in the fact that we are fighting for the Truth and defending our native land. Thus, our power grows multiple times,” Petro Poroshenko said. The exhibition includes Ukrainian battle flag, which was unfolded in the UN hall in New York by Ukrainian activists in the course of the speech by the president of Russia at the 70th session of the UN General Assembly. The history of this flag will leave few people indifferent: this flag went through a crucible of Ilovaisk. It was found in a completely burned truck. This truck together with Ukrainian warriors was destroyed by Russians who guaranteed them safe exit from the encirclement. The earth burned, metal melted. But the flag remained to become a symbol of unbroken Ukraine, which not only withstood, but also hardened in this dreadful war,” the President noted. The Head of State examined the equipment together with leaders of the Defense Ministry and the General Staff. He also had a conversation with servicemen and visitors of the exhibition. The samples of weapons and military equipment include tanks "BM Oplot" and "BM Bulat", which in their tactical and technical characteristics are among the best in the world. The President also examined samples of modernized combat vehicles, anti-tank missile complexes, means of radio and satellite communications, radars, trucks and armoured vehicles, field kitchen, mobile washing plants, medical equipment, reanimation medical vehicle, modern small arms and means of mine clearance. These new and upgraded samples of Ukrainian Oboronprom proved their efficiency in battles. The exhibition also demonstrates American Humvees provided by the United States for Ukraine. The opening ceremony was attended by heads of embassies and military attaches of foreign missions of the countries-partners and allies of Ukraine. Press Service of the President of Ukraine
