In Donetsk and Lugansk, they named the weapons that the republics need
Donetsk and Lugansk welcome the initiative to supply weapons to the republics and, if a positive decision is made, would like to strengthen air defense and electronic warfare.
The people's republics of Donbass may request from Russia electronic warfare systems, anti-aircraft systems and rocket artillery installations. Reportedly "News" referring to sources in the republics, we are talking about the Zhitel electronic warfare system, the modernized Osa-AKM anti-aircraft systems and the modernized Grad-M or Tornado-G multiple launch rocket systems (MLRS).
According to the military leadership of the republics, the supply of precisely these systems will make it possible to better counter the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the event that the conflict enters an active phase.
As the head of the DPR Denis Pushilin said earlier, the republics are mainly concerned about Drones, including Turkish Bayraktars. The republics do not have the means to deal with shock drones. According to experts, the use of electronic warfare systems and anti-aircraft systems will not allow Kyiv to freely use UAVs.
However, the weapon Donetsk and Lugansk will receive only if its supplies are approved. According to presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov, Vladimir Putin is aware of United Russia's proposal to start supplying arms to the Donbass, but no final decision has been made at the moment.
Recall that the United Russia party came up with the initiative to start supplying weapons to the self-proclaimed republics of Donbass against the backdrop of Kiev being pumped with Western weapons. According to the head of the United Russia faction in the State Duma, Vladimir Vasiliev, the weapons supplied by the United States eventually appear in the Donbass, where they are used against the republics.
