Over the past two weeks, Berlin has delivered thousands of anti-tank mines and portable anti-tank guided missile [ATGM] systems to Kyiv. The German newspaper SPIEGEL wrote about the new shipment, specifying the information with exact numbers and models of weapons: 1,600 anti-tank mines DM22, 3,000 anti-tank mines DM31, and 2,450 portable anti-tank guided missile systems RGW 90, better known among the German troops as Matador ATGM.

Germany supplies DM22/31 off-road 40m range anti-tank mines to Ukraine


SPIEGEL writes that Ukraine has paid for the production and supply of RGW 90, as the Ukrainian authorities have agreed directly with the manufacturer, which for Germany is Dynamit Nobel Defense [DND]. As for the anti-tank mines, SPIEGEL writes that Ukraine most likely received them as a donation from the stocks in the inventory of the German army.

More about DM-22 and DM-31

The captured mines DM-22 and DM-31 are part of the so-called PARM series – off-road German mines, which are constructed with small stabilizing fins. This type of mine was developed in the 80s of the last century. From 1983 to 1988 various tests were conducted, after the elevation in the late 80s, the mines were put into operation.

PARM series mines come in two varieties, PARM 1 and PARM 2. PARM 1 entered service with the Garman Army in the 1990s, and unofficial information says that about 25,000 units have been delivered.

The main difference between PARM 1 and PARM 2 is that PARM2 incorporates an infrared sensor into its design, as well as an improved missile. Both types of mines are mounted on a tripod that can rotate 360 ​​degrees and be raised at a 90-degree angle. The mine is placed manually and includes a five-minute delay before it is launched.

The range of such mines is from 2 to 40 meters. The missile moves at an approximate speed of 120 meters per second and is capable of piercing 600 millimeters of armor. PARM 2 has an increased range of up to 100 meters. The warhead of this missile has been modernized and the armor penetration has been increased to 750 mm armor.

MATADOR RGW90

In the version currently available on the market, the RGW90 HH [HEAT / HESH] A2 uses a dual-mode mono-shaped charge warhead and can therefore also be used against armored vehicles. The weapon is capable of breaking through a triple brick wall.

The weapon, which weighs about eight kilograms, can pierce more than 600 millimeters of armored steel at a range of 500 meters – with a probability of hitting more than 90 percent of NATO’s standard target of 2.3 meters x 2.3 meters. Works perfectly in the temperature range from -46 ° C to + 71 ° C.

The weapon was designed in the 99th century and entered service in 2000. MATADOR RGW90 is produced in three places – Germany, Israel, and Singapore. Interestingly, the war in Ukraine was the first documented case in which the MATADOR RGW90 was used in full-scale military operations. However, Israel often uses RGW90 to drill walls for Israeli troops to pass through during its military operations in the Gaza Strip.

Russia should bring Ukraine down to dust and then face their sponsors...

Rastaramsey:


You don't know the implications of bringing a country to dust Sha

The sponsors of Ukraine standa anyday anytime

Russia can't defeat NATO

OhMyG0d:
The only thing holding Russia back from leveling Ukraine is brotherhood.
The way you will beat someone from your family will be different from how you will beat someone from another family. Ukraine-Russia-Belorussia are brothers literally.
Besides, it's not a war but a military campaign.

You see, the only thing holding NATO and US back from confronting Russia directly rather than using Ukraine as a front, is because of some weapons that they have no answer to in Russian's arsenal. No one want a Poseidon torpedo, Sarmat, ISKANDER, Buresvetnik, zircon, avangard, kinzhal etc facing their countries. Besides, no one knows yet how to overcome the S400 not to mention S500.
If it was any other country that tried what Russia did, US and NATO would have invaded such country. But with Russia, not even a combined 34 countries including the US, UK, Germany, France have the gut to sneeze at Russia.

VictorUSA:
Sir, I believe you understands international politics far better than I do.But you are missing here.

The U.S-led NATO is already gradually ending putin, he knows this.The method of attack on Lybia and Iraq to oust and kill their leaders would not be thesame with the method to be used in ending Russia's Putin.The latter possess weapons the former don't.The U.S-led NATO are not as unwise to attack a mad man directly.They calculate and played him to fall.US wants this war badly.If the US were not benefiting from this war, they wouldnt have pumped weapons to Ukraine.Imagine the US supplying weapons to Ukraine the same day talks were held in Instanbul.That sparked another tension.

Note:even in a direct coflict with Russia, USA will defeat them.The destruction around the world is what the US wants to avoid by all means.And don't make it sound like only Russia possess advanced weapons.
