Military Equipment & Technology Used In The Russian-Ukrainian War

Russian man-portable anti-drone, drone launcher called "Елка" - Yolka, which is a generic name for evergreen trees such as fir or spruce, a Christmas tree.
The Yolka interceptor drone in the fight for the sky in the SMO zone. The video shows September 2024. Servicemen of the Russian Armed Forces destroy a Ukrainian strike UAV with the Yolka kinetic interceptor, causing the detonation of ammunition on board the enemy drone.

The Yolka air defense drone carries out a kinetic interception of a Ukrainian aircraft-type reconnaissance UAV in the SMO zone. Despite active maneuvering, the enemy drone was overtaken by our interceptor and deprived of its tail.

The Yolka air defense drone hits a Ukrainian reconnaissance UAV over urban development in the SMO zone. It is worth noting that despite the "difficult" contrasting sky, the interceptor's AI algorithms successfully coped with the capture, tracking and destruction of the high-altitude target.

They're supposed to receive 12 Mirage 2000-5Fs from France.

That crash could be from older equipment (although the 5Fs are only 10-20 years old), or it could be pilot error as Ukrainian pilots are not likely to have had long enough training on these new jets.
 
Ukraine in a nutshell - take an old soviet design, have a western company make a modernized version of it, give it a gay name and claim it as your own.
The flamingo cruise missile:

As it turned out, the "new Ukrainian" missile is neither new nor Ukrainian. But let's go through everything in order.
The propaganda of the Kyiv regime began circulating a photo of two unknown missiles on transport-launch platforms. By appearance (the scheme used), it really resembles the Soviet UAV Tu-143, which were converted into strike drones by equipping them with explosives and aerial bombs (Croatians confirm this). However, in reality, all available stocks have already been used, and Kyiv lacks the expertise to create such a model.
But the British came to the rescue. As was the case with unmanned boats. In the end, the "Flamingo" missile is actually the FP-5 Milanion from Milanion Group. The declared flight range is 3000 km at an altitude of 5 km (flight time - 4 hours), warhead - 1000 kg. Subsonic speed - up to 950 km/h, which corresponds to cruise missiles. It is worth noting here that, following old British tradition, maximum characteristics are given for each parameter - in reality, they may vary depending on the load, flight speed, etc. As an example, one can recall their UAVs.By its characteristics, this is a relatively easy target for the Russian Aerospace Forces' air defense - a typical cruise missile, only with worse characteristics and not particularly advanced technologically.
Considering that GPS is used as the guidance system, against which effective countermeasures have long existed, this is also a disadvantage for it. But there is little comfort - for terrorism, this is a good option. Especially considering the fact that the FP-5 looks very similar to the "V-1".
