Ukraine's Oddball Weapons No One Expected to See

The war between Russia and Ukraine, raging since February 2022, has shown the world how both militaries have resorted to old World War 2 and Cold War-era weaponry and makeshift tools or vehicles to gain the upper hand on the battlefield.

The Ukrainian forces' impressive resourcefulness can be seen in their unconventional and unique-looking Mad Max-style civilian vehicles that they have modified to fend off the waves of Russian infantry and armor.

These heavily armed trucks, paying homage to the classic 1980s series of movies of an apocalyptic future, are fitted with all sorts of salvaged guns and improvised armor Ukraine has crossed paths upon to fight the enemy.

While Ukraine is constantly receiving new armored vehicles from Western nations, these Mad Max vehicles remain the backbone of the ground forces.

Apache in the cross hairs being called a KA52 Alligator.
Keep up the good work.

I can see drones getting into the hands of the wrong people and having those wrong people launch them against domestic targets in this country. It just goes back to this: whatever is made is usually being looked at by our enemies and by crazy people.

Ukraine's ingenuity, courage, responsiveness, and resourcefulness has led to legendary examples of innovation, modification, adaptation, improvisation, imagination, and necessitation that has saved their lives, democracy, country, and freedom. Ukrainians are the children of the mother of invention. They are on God's side and have accessed a source of power and strength that will prevail over ruzzia every time. Everyone has access to this power--they only need prepare themselves to receive it.

I found it interesting that the hawk 3 has all solid state electronics, which can avoid an EMP blast. Post nuke war capable possibly.

That welder was using a 3M Speedglas hood

I wish Japan would send them a few hundred or thousand AWD Subaru's! Or the UK send Range Rover's, and Toyota to send Land Rover's. All of which can be converted easily into high performance combat vehicles.

I thought for sure you were going to talk about the new thermite drones, or the new jet drone. Maybe they are too new and you want to wait until more info is available before puting it into a video.

It's like a marriage of Fred Sanford and McGyver.

[JamesPrpich]

[jurissaulitis]

[markrifenbery]

Respect can’t we all just get along ❤❤❤

[NelsonZAPTM]

TOW2 being called Stugna P.
Keeps getting better.
It's even written on the tube!

[southernsmoke]

Understand, the USSR stood ZERO chance during the Cold War w/o Ukrainian brains. Kiev (something something) School graduated some great engineers. It’s a highly respected institution.
They’re future Military Industrial Complex is going to impress some & cause fear in others.
