Legendary weapons and “armor” mastered by the warriors of the Iron Brigade (video)

06/11/2026

Combat training, which continues continuously in the Iron Brigade, includes not only new recruits. Experienced soldiers master new equipment and weapons that the units receive.

Both truly cutting-edge domestic equipment (for example, aerial and ground drones) and legendary equipment provided by Ukraine’s foreign partners are arriving.

At the center of this plot are experienced fighters, as well as the French armored personnel carrier VAB (French: Véhicule de l’Avant Blindé – armored vehicle of the vanguard), and the American Browning M2 heavy machine gun.

A batch of such vehicles reinforced several units. Despite its weight of 13 tons, the armored personnel carrier is fast (up to 80 km/h on a dirt road), has a range of up to 1,000 km. Renault engine, automatic transmission. Airborne compartment for 10 people. Protection holds 7.62 mm armor-piercing bullets and shrapnel. Armament — 12.7 mm Browning machine gun.

This barrel, one of the most famous in the world, is a real terror for Muscovites. The effective firing range is up to 2000 meters. It easily mows down enemy infantry, “disassembles” fortifications, and pierces unarmored and lightly armored vehicles.

Brutal iron, fire, people, and large-caliber weapons are in our report.
