The first part of our upcoming series of assessments of the weapons used in Ukraine examines the Ukrainian and Russian military capabilities displayed at the World Defense Show (WDS) in Riyadh (March 6-9, 2022) and used in the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.
These systems include the Ukrainian Kozak-2M, Kozak-7, and the Varta-2M armored vehicles, and a variety of Russian hardware: Pantsir S-1, Tor-M2, Orion-E drone, Typhoon-K vehicle, Il-76MD-90A aircraft, and the Msta-S howitzer.
Our 1,851-word special report (6 pages) derived from open-source intelligence (OSINT) explains the role these systems play in the ongoing conflict in Ukraine and evaluates their performance based on the available evidence.
