In August of this year, Ukrainian troops supplied 200 launchers of anti-tank systems "Le Corsaire" and "Stugna-P", and 2 thousands of missiles to them, According Mordovia Herald.
These complexes represent a real threat to armored vehicles and Lugano Donetsk Republics. Their missiles have a tandem warhead and are equipped with laser guidance system. For these protection old ammunition in tanks T-64BV and T-72B is not a serious obstacle - in contact with the tank (not to mention the BMP and BTR) guaranteed to fail.
According to Ukrainian sources, in DNR and LNR are concentrated around 700 tanks, that is received by APU launch full enough - about 3 missiles on each machine.
And we are talking only about the new anti-tank, received last month. How big are the troops old stocks, and how much they had received these weapons from eastern Europe, unknown. Not among the "new" and American supplies - two hundred Javelin ATGM.
Can, of course, of all dismiss, writes the author Dmitry Lemeshko material, call it the injection of panic, but the situation is quite serious: armored militia does not have any active protection system, no system of optical-electronic suppression. Such a situation in actual combat with the massive use of ATRA can lead to large losses.
