Latvia:
Patria has signed a frame agreement with Finland and Latvia for the joint 6×6 armoured wheeled vehicle system’s production phase management.

The agreement allows the three parties to carry out joint procurement management of the vehicle development programme.

It follows a technical agreement signed last year between the two countries to develop a common armoured wheeled vehicle system.

A Patria 6×6 vehicle chassis platform was selected for the project.

Simultaneously, Latvia and Patria have signed a supply contract that includes more than 200 units of 6×6 armoured personnel carriers (APC).

This contract also includes the delivery of associated support and training systems.

In May, the Latvian Armed Forces tested Patria’s 6×6 vehicle during a live demo tour held in Latvia as part of the joint development programme.

According to Patria, vehicle deliveries are expected to happen between this year and 2029.

Belarus leader Alexander Lukashenko on Sunday said Minsk planned to buy $1 billion worth of Russian arms as he oversaw massive Moscow-led military drills that rattled some EU countries.

Sporting green military uniform at a test range near the city of Baranovichi in western Belarus, the strongman praised Russian and Belarusian troops for their "high state of readiness" to jointly defend their borders and counter what he called "hybrid aggression" from the West

On Friday, Russia and Belarus launched military drills involving about 200,000 personnel, one of Moscow's biggest exercises in recent years.

President Vladimir Putin is scheduled to inspect the drills in Russia on Monday, ahead of three-day parliamentary elections later this week, the Kremlin said.

"We cannot relax, taking into account the experience of 1941," Lukashenko said, referring to the invasion of the Soviet Union by Nazi Germany.

Lukashenko, who has been ostracized by the West for cracking down on opposition protests following a disputed election last year, has had to increasingly lean on Moscow. The two leaders have been in talks to integrate their two countries more closely.

Lukashenko held the latest round of discussions with Putin in Moscow earlier this week and said on Sunday he wanted to buy Russia's S-400 air defense systems with a view to placing them on his country's border with Western-backed Ukraine.

Ukraine Destroys Pro-Russian Artillery in Its First Use of Turkish Drones​

Ukraine has destroyed the artillery of pro-Russian separatists in the country’s east in its first combat deployment of a Turkish drone, the Ukrainian military announced Tuesday.

Footage published on the Ukrainian armed forces’ Facebook page showed the Bayraktar TB2k targeting and shooting a Soviet-era howitzer it identified as the pro-Russian forces’ D-30.

The Ukrainian armed forces accused the separatists of wounding one soldier and killing another with the D-30 near the eastern town of Hranitne on the front line.

“Bayraktar was used in order to force the enemy to cease fire,” the Ukrainian armed forces’ general staff said in a statement. “After that, the shelling of Ukrainian positions stopped.”

The drone strike did not inflict any military or civilian casualties, Russia’s Interfax news agency quoted an unnamed source in the self-proclaimed, separatist-held Donetsk People’s Republic as saying Wednesday.

The neighboring separatist-held Luhansk People’s Republic accused Kiev of using the Bayraktar in violation of ceasefire agreements that ban the deployment of foreign drones on the front line.

Tuesday’s drone strike is the first since Turkey delivered the first batch of Bayraktar TB2 to Ukraine in July.

The Turkish private company Baykar, which produces the armed drones, describes the TB2 model as a "medium altitude long endurance tactical unmanned aerial vehicle capable of conducting intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance and armed attack missions" with a range of up to 27 hours.

Media reports said Kiev plans to buy around 50 Bayraktar TB2 drones, a flagship model that has been used in conflicts against Russian proxies in Syria, Libya and the Nagorno-Karabakh region at the center of a decades-long dispute between Azerbaijan and Armenia.

Ukraine and Turkey signed a memorandum in late September to establish a joint training and maintenance center for the drones in Ukraine. This month, Ukraine’s foreign minister said it plans to build a factory to produce Bayraktar drones in the country.

The sale of drones to Kiev places Ankara in a delicate position, as Turkey also cooperates in the defense sector with Russia, Ukraine's rival.

The Kremlin said Wednesday that Turkey’s supply of drones to Ukraine risks destabilizing the eastern Ukraine conflict despite Moscow’s “special” relations with Ankara.

The Ukrainian army has been locked in a long-running conflict with separatist fighters in Donetsk and Luhansk since 2014 after Moscow annexed the peninsula of Crimea from Kiev. The conflict has claimed more than 13,000 lives.

Ukraine and its Western allies accuse Russia of sending troops and arms to support the separatists, which Moscow denies.

AFP contributed reporting.

I bet the separatist will have hard time after this when they trying to harrass or breach the ceasefire without facing any consequence coz they always have to look up into the air and pray dont become a nice tender grill menu for the UAV ;p

The Ukrainian UAV did not do too well.
People's Republic - one damaged gun and one lightly wounded soldier.
On the other hand Ukrainian mob lost one Master Sergeant Khalikov Georgy dead and another wounded and out of action in hospital. This is the price Kiev paid for breaking ceasefire agreement.

They just started using the UAV for the 1st time, its to early to say they didnt do well... hehe, It is a warning sign for bigger retaliation against separatist if they broke the ceasefire, TB2 is a short wave UAV that cant be easily jammed by jammer and it can manually reconfigure to operate if its signal being jammed.. it will amounting death and casualties for the separatist for upcoming conflict.. Russia definitely will be stress out with this proxies war especially at the back of their lawn.. with evidence how their renowned pansthir being sitting duck for TB2 both conflict in NK and Syria.. these UAV will reduce Ukraine casualties and will give devastating impact on death and moral of Pro-Russian Separatist..

First time they had an element of surprise but it didn't help them much and now they lost that too.
TB2 were stopped in Syria and Libya. Ukraine will not be able to use TBs on the scale of and in conjugation with Israeli kamikaze drones like in NK and every lost one will be bad news for Turkish sales, which will make Erdo very sad.

Hahaha.. u joking right.. they will be always element of suprise when using UAV.. unless u can detect all of them and shoot them one by one.. TB2 already battle proven and change tide of war in Libya, Syria and NK.. the most proven battle record of UAV in da WORLD!!!.. i know u in state of denial and a Pro Russian Symphatizer, but that dont change the fact Russian element they have invade and destabilize Ukrainian. I believe the sovereignty and independence Ukrainian and they have they right to reclaim they all their land back.. They can get the help they want.. Is Turkey assistance greatly help Ukrainian where many EU countries and US dont want to directly involved with Russia.. Turkey give Ukraine a small hope, with the victorious of Azerbaijan in NK, elevate Ukraine courage and motivation to the highest level.. is now time for Ukraine to drove all those separatist where the hole they coming from and reclaim back Crimeria for good if necessary..

 

[Nachar]

Seriously?

Do you believe that Ukraine will be able to return Crimea by force of its army on its own?

You understand that none of the Western countries will help Ukraine and fight for it. And Ukraine itself, when trying to attack Crimea, will simply cease to exist as a state.

Do you read my statement? is not EU is turkey will assist Ukrainian.. EU has no balls to begin with, they dont dare to make russia angry.. and i said if necessary.. the most important objective for Ukraine to play psychological war where they inflict maximum death and casualties to Pro Russia Separatist in Eastern Ukraine with the UAV they purchased from Turkey until resulted Russia decide to withdraw their support to Eastern part that deem waste of resources and manpower.. if that to happen.. Ukraine will able to squash the remaining rebel and take back their territory until the border of annexed Crimea.
