The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine has codified and approved for operation a number of devices that increase the convenience and efficiency of using small arms and grenade launchers in the Defense Forces. New developments created by Ukrainian gunsmiths are intended for installation on combat vehicles and stationary positions.
This was reported by the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine with reference to the Main Department for Ensuring Life Cycle Support of Armaments and Military Equipment.
In particular, the following are allowed for use in the Armed Forces of Ukraine:
Developed by Ukrainian engineers, the mortar tripod allows grenade launchers to fire along a hinged trajectory from covered positions. Thanks to its robust design and smooth adjustment system, stability and accuracy of aiming are ensured without jamming the axis of rotation.
The small infantry tripod is a domestic analogue of a foreign model for large-caliber machine guns. It is easy to fold, quickly installed, and compatible with various weapon models using additional adapters.
The universal mount-lodgement provides reliable mounting of weapons on various platforms - from infantry tripods and vehicles to armored vehicles, watercraft and automated turrets. For large-caliber machine guns, the design reduces recoil, improving accuracy and reducing the vibration effect on the sights.
The pickup truck mount is designed to mount large-caliber machine guns in the body of a vehicle. It has a remote design for optimal positioning of the shooter and provides two-axis rotation of the weapon. Special bushings in the rotation units do not require maintenance, and the connecting mechanism allows for quick replacement or dismantling of the weapon along with the mount.
The introduction of these devices in units of the Defense Forces of Ukraine will help increase the combat effectiveness and mobility of the military.
Earlier, the Ministry of Defense announced the development of legislation that would regulate rewards for military inventors.
