Ukrainian army adopts nearly 20 grenade launchers during full-scale war

The Ukrainian Defense Ministry's press service reports.

"Since the start of Russia's full-scale invasion, the Ukrainian Defense Ministry has codified and approved nearly 20 grenade launcher models for use in the Ukrainian Armed Forces," the statement reads.

The grenade launchers come from Ukraine, the USA, Germany, Turkey, Canada, and Sweden.

The Ministry of Defense added that the combat capabilities of the Ukrainian Armed Forces have been enhanced by under-barrel, handheld, automatic, and multi-shot semi-automatic grenade launchers of various calibers.

"Most of these weapons are 40 mm in caliber. However, there are also more powerful ones, such as the 84 mm Swedish Carl Gustaf multi-purpose reusable grenade launcher," the ministry noted.

• Ukraine has launched the Ratel H robot, which is designed to evacuate the wounded from the battlefield. It can carry more than 400 kg.
