According to information published by the Ukrainian defense website "Defense Express" on May 5, 2023, the Ukrainian air defense has successfully intercepted a Russian undetectable Kh-47 Kynzhal hypersonic missile using the American Patriot PAC-3 air defense missile system. The Kh-47 is considered a stealth missile, indeed, it is designed to have a low radar cross-section, making it difficult for enemy radars to detect it. The missile is also highly maneuverable, which makes it difficult to intercept.

According to a video released on the Russian Social Network VK on April 28, 2023, using a Lancet loitering munition, Russian soldiers have destroyed the first Gepard 35mm self-propelled anti-aircraft gun system donated by Germany to the Ukrainian army. Today, the use of Lancet loitering munition against modern equipment combat vehicles donated by the United States and NATO allies is a priority for the Russian armed forces.

The Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine, the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine, the Ministry of Strategic Industries of Ukraine, and the Ministry of Economy of Ukraine on April 26 announced they have founded a united coordinational platform for defense tech in Ukraine.

According to a video published by the Russian press agency TASS, the Russian army moves more T-90M Main Battle Tanks in the Svatovsky direction, in Luhansk Oblast of Eastern Ukraine. Recently, a video was published on Social Networks showing a T-90M Main Battle Tattle (MBT) in the city of Bakhmut.

According to a viral video released on Social Networks, Ukrainian soldiers of the 93rd Mechanized Brigade continue to fight Russian troops in the city of Bakhmut using a captured Russian T-80U. The video shows a completely isolated tank that continues to fight in the city in order to prevent the capture of the city by the Wagner Group, the Russian paramilitary organization.

According to a video published on the Twitter account of the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense Oleksii Reznikov on April 18, 2023, the Ukrainian naval infantry unit has received the first AMX-10RC 6x6 anti-tank and reconnaissance armored vehicles donated by France. According to our analysis, the AMX-10RC supplied by France to Ukraine is the AMX-10RCR version which is an improved version of the original AMX-10RC.

Despite the age of the BTR-60PB and BTR-70 armored personnel carriers, which were designed in the 1950s and 1960s, both pro-Russian units within the Russian Armed Forces and the Ukrainian army continue to utilize these vehicles in the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. The persistence of these older models on the battlefield highlights the diverse range of equipment being employed in the conflict.
