BM-21 Grad122 mm multiple rocket launcherBuilt by: Motovilikha Plants / Soviet defense industryThe BM-21 Grad is a Soviet 122 mm multiple rocket launcher built around a 40-tube launcher on a wheeled truck chassis. In the Russia-Ukraine War it remains a common area-fire system on both sides, valued for rapid salvos and mobility but dependent on shoot-and-scoot tactics because the launcher is carried on an unarmored truck.
Buk-M2Tracked medium-range surface-to-air missile systemBuilt by: Almaz-AnteyThe Buk-M2 is a Russian tracked medium-range surface-to-air missile system in the Buk family, using the 9M317 missile and networked radars to defend maneuver forces and key areas against aircraft, helicopters, cruise missiles, precision weapons, and some ballistic targets. In the Russia-Ukraine War it appears on the Russian side as part of layered battlefield air defense, where Ukrainian forces have targeted its launchers and associated radar vehicles..jpg?width=480)
D-30 122 mm howitzer122 mm towed howitzerBuilt by: Artillery Plant No. 9The D-30 is a Soviet 122 mm towed howitzer built around a distinctive three-leg carriage that gives the gun 360-degree traverse. In the Russia-Ukraine War it remains relevant because both armies use Soviet-caliber artillery, Ukraine has received additional D-30s from partners, and Russian D-30 positions continue to appear in frontline strike reporting.
9K720 IskanderRoad-mobile tactical ballistic and cruise missile systemBuilt by: Kolomna Machine-Building Design Bureau (KBM); Votkinsk Machine Building Plant; Production Association BarrikadyThe 9K720 Iskander is a Russian road-mobile tactical missile system that launches short-range ballistic missiles and, in Iskander-K configuration, ground-launched cruise missiles. In the Russia-Ukraine War it has served as one of Russia's principal precision-strike systems for attacks beyond the immediate front line.
Kh-47M2 KinzhalAir-launched aeroballistic missileBuilt by: Russian Ministry of Defense / Russian defense industryThe Kh-47M2 Kinzhal is a Russian air-launched aeroballistic missile carried by modified aircraft such as the MiG-31K. It is reported to be derived from the Iskander-M missile family and gives Russia a high-speed conventional or nuclear-capable strike option used in the Russia-Ukraine War.
ZALA LancetLoitering munitionBuilt by: ZALA Aero GroupThe ZALA Lancet is a Russian electric loitering munition with a distinctive dual X-wing layout, launched from a catapult and guided by an onboard television channel for terminal attack. In the Russia-Ukraine War it became one of Russia's prominent tactical strike UAVs, used against Ukrainian artillery, air-defense systems, armor, vehicles, and other battlefield targets.
MiG-29Fighter aircraftBuilt by: Mikoyan / United Aircraft CorporationA twin-engine fighter already familiar to Ukrainian pilots before the invasion. Ukraine has adapted MiG-29s for air defense and for carrying some Western-supplied weapons.
S-300Long-range surface-to-air missile systemBuilt by: Almaz Central Design Bureau / Fakel Machine-Building Design BureauThe S-300 is a Soviet-designed long-range surface-to-air missile family used by Ukraine for area air defense during the Russia-Ukraine War. Its mobile launchers, radars, and command elements give Ukrainian forces a legacy but still important way to contest aircraft, drones, cruise missiles, and some ballistic-missile threats while newer Western systems enter service.
Su-25Ground-attack aircraftBuilt by: Sukhoi / United Aircraft CorporationA rugged attack aircraft used for close air support and battlefield strike missions. It operates in a highly dangerous air-defense environment on both sides of the war.
T-72Main battle tankBuilt by: Uralvagonzavod and licensed producersA widely used Soviet-designed tank operated in several variants. Ukraine fields inherited, captured, and donated T-72s, making the family one of the war's most recognizable armored vehicles.
T-80Main battle tankBuilt by: Leningrad Kirov Plant / Omsktransmash / Malyshev FactoryThe T-80 is a Soviet-designed main battle tank built around a compact three-man layout, autoloaded 125 mm gun, and gas-turbine mobility in most major variants. In the Russia-Ukraine War it appears on both sides: Russia has deployed T-80BV, T-80U, and T-80BVM-family tanks, and Ukraine has operated captured Russian T-80s alongside its own armored forces.
T-90MMain battle tankBuilt by: UralvagonzavodThe T-90M Proryv is Russia's upgraded T-90 main battle tank, combining a revised turret, 125 mm gun, Relikt explosive reactive armor, modernized sights, and improved mobility. In the Russia-Ukraine War it appears as one of Russia's most modern operational tanks, with visually documented battlefield losses and captures.
Tochka-URoad-mobile tactical ballistic missile systemBuilt by: Kolomna Machine Building Design Bureau (KBM)Tochka-U is the upgraded 9K79-1/OTR-21 short-range tactical ballistic missile system, carried on a wheeled transporter-erector-launcher and designed for battlefield strikes with high-explosive or cluster warheads. In the Russia-Ukraine War it appears as a legacy Soviet missile system used by both sides, giving Ukraine an indigenous long-range strike option early in the invasion while also appearing in documented Russian attacks.
Tor-M2Short-range surface-to-air missile systemBuilt by: Almaz-Antey Air and Space Defence CorporationThe Tor-M2 is a Russian short-range, self-propelled surface-to-air missile system built to protect maneuver forces and fixed sites from aircraft, helicopters, drones, guided missiles, and other precision weapons. In the Russia-Ukraine War it appears in Russian service as a tracked tactical air-defense vehicle, with visually documented battlefield losses showing its use close enough to the front to be targeted by Ukrainian forces.
