The entire list comprises ten items and includes the following in detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>10 Vector UAVs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>22 anti-drone sensors and jammers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>4 WiSENT 1 MC mine clearing tanks<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>4 border protection vehicles<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>3 mobile, remote controlled and protected demining equipment<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>250 tool kits with blasting material<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>14,000 shells 155mm artillery ammunition<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>9 rounds 40mm ammunition for grenade launchers (very likely just a correction)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>147 night vision goggles<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>12 satellite communication terminals<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The future delivery of ten additional Bergepanzer 2 ARVs was also announced \u2014 bringing the total pledged Bergepanzer 2 to 16!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">More Vector UAVs for the AFU<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As with almost every update, the delivery of further \u201cVector\u201d surveillance drones manufactured by the German company Quantum-Systems was made public.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"382\" src=\"https:\/\/deaidua.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Vector-UAV-in-Ukraine.jpg\" alt=\"Vector UAV in Ukraine\" class=\"wp-image-3444\" srcset=\"https:\/\/deaidua.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Vector-UAV-in-Ukraine.jpg 680w, https:\/\/deaidua.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Vector-UAV-in-Ukraine-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/deaidua.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Vector-UAV-in-Ukraine-512x288.jpg 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Ukrainian soldiers with a Vector UAV<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>A total of 10 of these high-quality VTOL UAVs were delivered to the AFU. This brings the total number of Vectors delivered by Germany to 182, of which only one drone was lost, according to publicly available sources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though Germany more or less regularly supplies other drones to Ukraine, the Vector is definitely the backbone of German UAV deliveries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Urgently needed ammunition<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As always, urgently needed ammunition was also delivered. 14,000 155mm shells may not sound like much, but that covers the current consumption for at least a whole week, as not only 155mm is being used for artillery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This will provide important time until the 122mm and 155mm calibre artillery ammunition procured via the Czech artillery ammunition initiative arrives in Ukraine. In addition, 14,000 155mm shells is a big step forward, even by German standards \u2014 and we supply most of the ammunition to Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>If you liked this post, consider following me on <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/deaidua\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">X<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/deaidua.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bluesky<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/deaiduaTG\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Telegram<\/a>.
