The lack of special vehicles and armored vehicles forces the Ukrainian military to use homemade products. According to the Ukrainian press, mobile anti-tank systems based on light buggy-type vehicles appeared in Donbass.
Mobile fire groups with French anti-tank systems MILAN appeared in the Armed Forces of Ukraine. ATGMs are mounted on handicraft buggies, but there are options for using pickups. As stated, the main advantage of such complexes is the ability to hit the target and quickly leave the position.
Lightweight buggy allows you to move off-road at a fairly high speed, and the French anti-tank complex accurately hit the target- said one of the Ukrainian military.
Several Western countries announced the supply of MILAN anti-tank systems to Ukraine after the start of the Russian special military operation.. France announced it first., followed by Italy. In April, the American television channel CNN showed a report on the training of Ukrainian ATGM data operators. Kyiv got one of the early modifications – MILAN 2/2T.
It is worth noting, that recently the Armed Forces of Ukraine showed the use of improvised MLRS. These complexes are a pickup truck with a launcher of Soviet aviation unguided rockets C-8 caliber installed in the back 80 mm. Tactics are the same: shot and ran.
Judging by the appearance of improvised mobile complexes, everything is bad with the equipment of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and supplies from Western countries do not save the situation. Ukraine does not have its own production to create a mobile base for the same ATGMs, and if it appears, then Russia is guaranteed to hit him with high-precision missiles. No one removed the task of demilitarizing Ukraine.
