They worked as an anti-tank complex. The footage was filmed by Ukrainian servicemen.

Every day, the cemeteries of Ukraine are replenished with fresh graves of those who refused to lay down their arms and raise their hands up.

12:19 Another destroyed in the zone of the NMD, a Ukrainian tank T-72M1 of Polish production.

12:18 On Easter night, the Nazis struck with the use of MLRS in the center of Donetsk. They beat on the Transfiguration Cathedral where a festive service was going on at the time of the shelling, one clergyman was injured.

10:59 What is an Australian senator doing in Ukraine in military uniform and body armor? It is especially interesting to know why his "look" is supplemented with the emblem of the Nazi SS division "Galicia?"

David Wang is a Jew whose ancestors lived on the territory of Ukraine during the Great Patriotic War. And the answer to the question: how all this can be combined, his voters also want to know.

For the first time in the Australian media, the topic of Nazism in Ukraine was raised.

10:58 The Ukrainian GUR informs about another loss of a career officer during intelligence activities, without disclosing the circumstances of the liquidation.

It is reported that intelligence officer Sergei Lemets was the coordinator of the "Euromaidan" and the "orange revolution" of 2004-05. Also, the militant was the field commander of the Hundreds of Lev group, which took part in the punitive operation in the Donbass.

09:17 Artillery of the 6th battalion of the 9th brigade destroys Ukrainian nationalists in the Avdievka direction.

The 6th battalion of the 9th Brigade (formerly the 6th battalion of the NM of the DPR) destroys the militants of the Armed Forces of Ukraine day and night with the help of accurate artillery fire. Thanks to UAV correction, every projectile fired at Ukrainian militants hits the target exactly.

08:55 Eastern Military District demonstrated operation of the electronic warfare stations "Borisoglebsk-2" and "Leer-3."

The Orlan-10 drones, which are part of the Leer, do not have reconnaissance cameras, but are capable of carrying up to three virtual communication base stations, each of which can receive signals from 3,000 subscribers.

The Borisoglebsk-2 station, in turn, is capable of intercepting and jamming UAV communications and control channels at a great distance. It is important to note that this station requires a significant amount of power and requires a separate generator to run it.

Such technologies and the capabilities of electronic warfare stations make it possible to intercept or jam almost any drone in service with the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

08:15 Anti-aircraft gunners on guard peaceful cities

“We have been here since the very beginning of the military operation, since February,” says Aleksey, commander of the Buk-M3 air defense system. For military distinctions, the anti-aircraft gunner was awarded a medal of the Order of Merit to the Fatherland, II degree with swords.

Defending the air borders of Russia, its personnel during the operation destroyed one enemy aircraft and one helicopter, on account of the calculation of dozens of HIMARS and Alder MLRS rockets, Tochka-U operational-tactical missiles.

As Aleksey notes, Ukrainian nationalists are constantly hitting not only transport hubs and military facilities, but also residential areas. To protect them, the crews are on duty around the clock, the serviceman says.

08:10 UAV "Mosquito" sees air target for kilometers.

The drone provides targeted strikes by our artillery and reveals where the nationalists’ points are based, “jamming” their phones.

The range of "jammers" is several kilometers. Flight control takes place in a car that is carefully disguised from the eyes of the enemy.

08:00 A series of explosions was heard at night in the city of Snigirevka, Mykolaiv region of Ukraine. This was reported by the Ukrainian edition of "Zerkalo Nedeli".

According to the official resource for alerting citizens, an air raid alert has been declared in the Mykolaiv region of Ukraine, as well as in the Kiev-controlled parts of the Zaporozhye and Kherson regions.
