“Ukrainian armored vehicles”, the Eastern European industrial conglomerate “Czechoslovak Group” and the European branch of the American corporation General Dynamics are considering the possibility of producing ASCOD APCs.
This is reported by Censor.NET with reference to the company’s press service.
“The experience of the modern war has demonstrated the enormous value of armored vehicles for saving the lives of our soldiers. That is why we plan to supply and manufacture infantry fighting vehicles of NATO standards in Ukraine,” said Vladyslav Belbas, general director of “Ukrainian Armored Vehicles”.

The company’s specialists together with servicemen of the AFU, DNDI of Testing and Certification of Weapons and Military Equipment, and specialists of the Czechoslovak Group visited the production facilities of General Dynamics European Land Systems (the European subsidiary of the American corporation General Dynamics - author) in Trubia, Spain, where they got acquainted with a unique production of wheeled and tracked machinery using state-of-the-art technologies and in accordance with NATO standards.
Ukrainian servicemen tested the APC to compare the dynamic properties of ASCOD with the existing equipment in service with the Armed Forces.
“Ukrainian armored vehicles” supplied AFU with thousands of scarce 122-mm rounds and are increasing their production.
The versatile ASCOD platform can be equipped with a variety of weapons systems: combat modules with 30 mm automatic guns and 40 mm grenade launchers, turrets with 105 mm or 120 mm guns, and anti-tank guided missile systems.

“We are discussing with General Dynamics European Land Systems the possibility of supplying ASCOD to Ukraine as soon as possible, organizing production and maintenance of the platform in Ukraine as soon as possible, and integrating advanced weapons, electronics, and communication systems to achieve operational interoperability of the Armed Forces and NATO,” Belbas said.
General Dynamics is an American aerospace and defense corporation, the fifth in the world in terms of arms sales. General Dynamics is the developer of the legendary F-16 aircraft, which is expected to be delivered to Ukraine next year. The corporation also manufactures Abrams tanks.
The ASCOD platform is equipped with unique ballistic and anti-mine protection systems, providing a level of protection according to STANAG 4569 - level 4 for ballistic protection (14.5 mm armor-piercing shot) and level 4a/4b for anti-mine protection (10 kg of explosive). ASCOD is in service with the leading armies of the world and NATO countries such as Spain, Great Britain, Austria, and others.

Many articles are copy-pasted into these threads. For an American privacy protected web site, its splash page bottom reads: "All materials posted on this site with reference to the agency 'Interfax-Ukraine', are not subject to further reproduction and / distribution in any form, except with the written permission of the agency 'Interfax-Ukraine'."
Thus one sees that this "daily amen™ threads" are posting complete articles from censor.net, which are either 1) in violation of the "all materials" clause of the site itself, or 2) UMCRevMom@aol.com has received permission to reproduce "with the written permission of the agency 'Interfax-Ukraine'." The question is which?
Of particular interest while perusing the censor.net site, one finds an interesting statement in a far longer article" It was a re-tread of a Reuters article.
"A survey of two Kyiv social interviewers, released on September 11, found that 78% of Ukrainians hold Zelensky responsible for corruption in the government. A related poll found that 55% believe that Western military aid should depend on the fight against corruption."It is interesting that "Censor.NET publishes a translation of Reuters' allegations of corruption into the address of President Vladimir Zelensky" all the while UMCRevMom@aol.com continues her stance of 1) reposting Zelensky as in "6 posted on 9/25/2023, 9:04:10 PM by UMCRevMom@aol.com ."Source: https://censor.net/ua/resonance/3444483/toppomichnykiv_zelenskogo_prodovjuyut_zvynuvachuvaty_v_koruptsiyi_stattya_reuters
To revisit: "...78% of Ukrainians hold Zelensky responsible for corruption in the government. A related poll found that 55% believe that Western military aid should depend on the fight against corruption."
The game is most interesting. "...78% of Ukrainians hold Zelensky responsible for corruption in the government," so let's cheer lead for Zelenksy? Strange bedfellows.
On Monday (25), the Russian Defense Ministry reported that a cruise missile struck a joint weapons and ammunition warehouse of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Kiselevka area of the Kherson region.
Very interesting. I hope the poster of these articles is practicing due diligence.
And also, how curious that a tidbit like this from an oft-posted source by the OP only sees the light of day on FR when you posted it. I’m sure it’s just an oversight on the “news aggregator’s” part. 😏
”...78% of Ukrainians hold Zelensky responsible for corruption in the government. A related poll found that 55% believe that Western military aid should depend on the fight against corruption."
(Good catch!)
“We expect that in October, Ukraine will receive a positive assessment as part of the EU Enlargement Package Report. And then there will be a vote of the European Council, which will open the way to negotiations on our country’s accession to the EU”
Putin did that.
And NATO expansion is non-negotiable.
Ukrainians wil hate Russia for a hundred years, because of what Putin has done.

I am Ukrainian. My country has been invaded by Russia. In this video I will tell you what happened on the five hundred eighth day of the war.
Day 580: Sep 26
TODAY, there is a lot of news from the northeast.
Here, Ukrainians have conducted so many successful strikes over the last several days that the mayor of Kursk decided to cancel the celebration of the birthday of the city.
FIRST of all, today, Ukrainian special forces conducted a successful drone strike in this region. The target of the drone strike became a substation near Snagost that powered at least 7 settlements, and as a result, all nearby settlements experienced a blackout. The goal of the strike was to cut off power from the Russian military near the border.
SIMULTANEOUSLY, the Head of Ukrainian Intelligence reported that the Russian Volunteer Corps, which is a detachment that consists of the Russian citizens that are fighting on the Ukrainian side, conducted another raid in the Kursk region. The insurgents crossed the border, assaulted Russian border guards and soldiers, inflicted losses, and returned back.
Prior to that, UKRAINIANS also attacked the regional center itself. Local residents reported hearing multiple explosions, and as revealed by the footage, at least one drone managed to hit its target. As it turned out, the drone hit the headquarters of the Russian Federal Security Services. Later, Russian sources confirmed that some drones managed to pass through the air defense, however, noted without specifications that an administrative building was damaged.
ANOTHER EXPLOSION was recorded on the outskirts of the city, near the Khalino airfield. Local residents reported that something hit an oil depot near the airfield. Interestingly, the drones were not spotted in that region, which is why some sources speculate that the explosion happened in the aftermath of the malfunction of the Russian air defense that tried to protect the airfield.
AND A DAY PRIOR, Ukrainians also successfully hit precisely this airfield. However, this time, instead of targeting aviation, Ukrainians targeted the pilots and their commanders located at the headquarters in the nearby settlement. Immediately after the strike, some Russian military bloggers started expressing their condolences, which means that the strike was likely successful.
LATER, Ukrainian Intelligence reported that according to the obtained information from the site, the commander of the 14th aviation regiment, at least one of his deputies, a group of pilots, and a security services representative were either injured or killed. Due to the very saturated week, the mayor of Kursk decided to cancel the celebration with fireworks of the birthday of the city.
The Ukrainian drones were also spotted today in the BRYANSK region. Some analysts claimed that the drone was used for reconnaissance purposes because it was not the usual model that is used for attacks, so the drone was likely testing the Russian air defense in the region prior to a bigger strike.
In the BELGOROD region, however, the drones were of regular type. As can be seen from the footage, this is the same drone that Ukrainians used for many strikes, including the ones on Moscow. Local residents reported an explosion somewhere near Dmyrivka, however, due to the sparseness of the region, no explosions were captured on video, which is why the strike was ignored by the Russian sources.
BUT THE BIGGEST STRIKEut happened in the Luhansk region. Here, Ukrainian forces targeted a huge ammunition depot that Russian forces created on the territory of the former factory. The factory is located in the deep rear, where there has been no fighting since 2014, so the Russians have accumulated a lot of ammunition inside the unharmed by the war facilities.
Russian sources reported that the strike was conducted with Strom Shadow missiles that were launched from the Kramatorsk area, 150 km away from the target. Russian analysts pointed out that there were no strikes in the deep rear in the Luhansk region for quite a while, and a rapid shift of focus may indicate that Ukrainians may have some serious plans regarding the encirclement of the Soledar and Bakhmut group.
