Meanwhile, questions are being raised that what weapons are being used in the war between Russia and Ukraine. After all, with the help of which weapons the Ukrainian army is able to stop Russia and with the help of which weapons Russia is trying to penetrate the fort of Ukraine.
Those weapons, which have so far been claimed to be used by Russia …
The Ukrainian side has alleged that the Russian army is continuously shelling schools, residential buildings and even hospitals to destroy the cities. The Associated Press news agency has confirmed that Russia has fired massive rockets against Ukraine using Soviet-era Grad, Smerch and Uragan multiple rocket launchers. These weapons were first used by the Russian side to disperse Ukrainian troops, but later they were also rained in urban areas, due to which there have been reports of civilian casualties. Apart from this, the Russian army also has artillery designed in Soviet times, from which Ukraine is being targeted. These include the 203 mm Peony and the 152 mm Hyacinth and Akasia self-propelled howitzers. United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) chief Michael Bachelet has also confirmed that the Russian military is using multi-launch rocket systems and cannons even in densely populated areas to devastate Ukraine. Russia claimed complete control of the air route only about three days after the start of the war. The planes used by the Russian military to attack Ukraine during this period include Sukhoi-25 to Sukhoi-35. Apart from this, the Russian Air Force has flown from MiG-29 to MiG-35. At the moment, such claims are being made that Russia has not even started using the entire air force, but the ever-increasing destruction of Ukraine speaks of the strength of the Russian Air Force. The weapons used by the Russian military to attack Ukraine include short-range to medium-range missiles. The Russian military is relying on its Iskander missiles, which have a range of up to 500 km, for accurate strikes on some important Ukrainian targets. In these, fitted warheads can cause great damage from a large building to fortified targets. It has been told that along with Russia, many Iskander missiles have also been fired from Belarusian soil towards Ukraine. Ukrainian officials have also accused Russia of using cluster munitions. These are such weapons, which at the time of fall turn into many small explosives and work to inflict damage on the army stationed in a large area. After falling in a densely populated area, these weapons can kill dozens and injure many people at once. Cluster munitions don’t explode immediately after several falls, but they explode suddenly after a reaction. In such a situation, these weapons are considered deadly for a long time. Ukraine has also accused Russia of using thermobaric weapons. These are also known as vacuum bombs. Its biggest feature is that it absorbs oxygen from the atmosphere and makes itself more powerful and explodes above the ground. This explosion produces heat just like a normal (low power) nuclear bomb. In addition, the blast also emits an ultrasonic shockwave that brings more destruction. This is the reason why this weapon is considered more powerful than any other conventional weapon.
1. Rocket-guns of the Soviet era
Compared to Russia, Ukraine’s army is far behind in terms of military force as well as weapons. But after the attack from Russia, Western countries are constantly coming forward to help Ukraine. The weapons that have been used by Ukraine against Russia after getting help from countries like America to Sweden include Soviet-era multiple rocket launchers and howitzer guns. However, this weapon is already being used by Russia. A new cannon in Ukraine’s stockpile is the Boldana howitzer, which is being used in military operations in the frontline. Ukraine has used Soviet-era Tochka short-range ballistic missiles against Russian forces. However, its ability to hit targets is much weaker than Russian missiles. Meanwhile, Ukraine has received Javelin anti-tank missiles from the US, whose targets are considered infallible. According to reports, Ukraine has so far used 300 Javelin missiles, which have hit 280 Russian tanks or targets. Stinger anti-aircraft missiles have been given to Ukraine from the US itself, which ordinary soldiers can fire with the help of launchers even by keeping them on their shoulders. Western countries have delivered 17,000 anti-tank weapons to Ukraine in the last six days. The Ukrainian army has also been supplied by Turkey with Bayraktar drones. Many such videos have come to the fore from the Ukrainian military so far, in which these drones can be seen destroying the Russian military fleet. On the other hand, the US-led NATO alliance has given the green light to the supply of fighter jets to Ukraine a day earlier.
