Erdogan let French military boats through the Bosphorus heading for Ukraine

Recently, footage appeared showing the passage through the Bosphorus by an unidentified cargo ship. 2 patrol boats FPB 98, produced by the French company OCEA, were seen on board the ship.

Acc to sources, these boats are intended for the state border service of Ukraine. The deal between Ukraine and the French company was concluded in 2019.

It is noted that the 1st batch of two FPB 98 boats was delivered to Ukraine in late May - early June of this year, and the transportation passed through Romania. The current batch appears to have taken an alternative route along the territorial waters of Bulgaria and Romania.

It is noteworthy that Turkey did not interfere with the passage of the ship, knowing full well that there were military ships on board, which raises quite a few questions regarding Erdogan, especially against the backdrop of his upcoming visit to Russia to discuss a grain deal.

According to the Greek publication Flight, the German government offered Greece to transfer to the German side from the Greek army 100 Leopard 1A5 GR tanks for their subsequent delivery to Ukraine.

In return, Greece should receive the notorious 96 former Italian Leopard 1A5 tanks owned by the Swiss company RUAG and stored in Italy.

The scheme is said to have been discussed on August 21 during Ukrainian President Zelensky's visit to Greece.

Previously, the German Rheinmetall group tried to buy Italian tanks directly from RUAG for transfer to Ukraine, but the Swiss government blocked this deal for neutralist reasons and even opened an investigation against RUAG.

At the same time, the Germans offer the Greeks to overhaul the former Italian Leopard 1A5 tanks at the expense of the German government with partial modernization, including increased protection and the installation of modern thermal imagers.

Russian troops began to receive new 30-mm VOG-30D rounds for automatic grenade launchers.

Compared to conventional VOG-17 or VOG-30, the new VOG-30D has a maximum range of up to 2123 m (instead of 1730) and a radius of destruction of up to 13 m (instead of 7 and 10, respectively).

In addition, new ammunition reduces the flame signature when fired, which reduces the unmasking of the crew.

The contract for a batch of VOG-30D was signed at "Army-2023".
