Ukraine's Kramatorsk Heavy Machine Tool Building Plant (KZVV) has registered an international patent for the 2S22 Bohdana self-propelled howitzer. The design has been patented as a standalone artillery module, suitable for mounting on different chassis types, or as a complete artillery system in its full configuration.

Details: The patent was filed under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT), a mechanism that enables Ukrainian manufacturers to obtain patent protection for their inventions in multiple countries simultaneously.

This treaty will allow the Kramatorsk-based plant to better manage its intellectual property rights in European countries, clearly outlining the rights and obligations of both the signatory states and the company.

The patent documentation presents the Bohdana self-propelled howitzer mounted on a new wheeled chassis and in its complete system configuration.

The active effort to secure intellectual property rights for the artillery system suggests that Kramatorsk Heavy Machine Tool Building Plant may be preparing to launch production of the Bohdana howitzer in European countries.

Notably, Denmark recently announced a US$47 million investment in the development of Ukrainian weapons production on its territory. Given the country’s previous financial support for the production of Bohdana self-propelled howitzers for Ukraine’s defence forces, as well as its own need for artillery systems, Copenhagen may be interested in establishing production of Ukrainian howitzers on Danish soil.

💥 The SBS struck a factory producing batteries for Iskanders and glide bombs

Operators of the 14th Separate UAV Regiment of the Unmanned Systems Forces carried out a #DeepStrike on the “Enerhiya” plant in Yelets, Lipetsk Oblast — the largest chemical power source manufacturer in Russia.

The plant mass-produces batteries and power cells for Russian weapons systems — the Iskander-M tactical missile system, Kh-35U sea-launched cruise missiles, and energy modules for specialized systems.

One of its key areas is manufacturing power supplies for Universal Gliding and Correction Modules (UMPK), which the occupiers use to turn ordinary unguided bombs into precision-guided glide bombs (FABs).

Explosions were recorded on the grounds of the Enerhiya plant. The strike results are being clarified.

🇺🇦 SBS: One step ahead!

⚡️⚡️ A magical night for the Southern Defense Forces: Minus enemy radars!

↪️ On the night of July 1-2, 2025, the Southern Defense Forces of Ukraine conducted a brilliant high-precision special operation! 🚀

Our soldiers used naval drones and Lazar attack aircraft, and the result was not long in coming.

💥 Three extremely important enemy targets were destroyed at once:

• RLM-M 55Zh6M "Nebo-M" - 1 unit

• RLM-D 55Zh6M "Nebo-M" - 1 unit

• KU radar 55Zh6M "Nebo-M" - 1 unit

✊ This is a serious blow to the radar reconnaissance and air defense system of the occupiers! Minus the enemy's "eyes" that monitored the sky above us.

We are proud of the skill and courage of our defenders! Keep it up! 🇺🇦

Glory to Ukraine! Glory to the Armed Forces of Ukraine!

Yesterday, there was whining and howling in Z-publics that some military facilities were hit on Tarkhankut.

Today it became known what it is. Near the village of Mayak on Cape Tarkhankut, the Nebo-M radar worth about 100 million dollars was hit.

A fat target and a very important one.

This is a mobile radar complex for detecting aerodynamic and ballistic objects at medium and high altitudes, part of the Nebo radar family.

The Nebo-M complex includes a meter-range radar module, the Nebo-SVU radar, as well as a decimeter-range radar module, the Protivnik-GE radar. The detection zone of the complex is 600 kilometers, the number of tracked targets is 200.

Four UAV production workshops damaged at Izhevsk plant "Kupol" after yesterday's attack. Work at the plant has been suspended

According to ASTRA sources in the region's emergency services, as a result of yesterday's arrival of two UAVs at IEMZ "Kupol" in Izhevsk, the building of the 1st building, where drones are produced, was damaged.

One drone flew into the window of workshop 106, the second hit the roof of workshop 110 and exploded. A fire broke out. As a result, the roof of the building collapsed over an area of 1,300 square meters.

The strike damaged the workshops where they do metalworking, soldering of microcircuits, and where finished UAVs are manufactured.

The production site of the enterprise at this address is responsible for the development and production of microcircuits for military drones. They work there around the clock in three shifts, ASTRA learned. After the attack, the work of the enterprise was suspended.

Three Kupol employees were killed, another 45 were injured, 35 of whom were hospitalized.

The attack was previously confirmed by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. "Precise hits on building No. 1 at site No. 1 have been confirmed. A fire has been recorded. The results of the damage are being clarified," the department said.

The Izhevsk Electromechanical Plant Kupol is one of the largest enterprises in the Russian defense industry, established in 1957. It produces the Tor-M2E air defense missile system, as well as the Saman-M1 and Adjutant target training systems, and provides their maintenance, the director of the enterprise, Fanil Ziyatdinov, reported in an interview with Rossiyskaya Gazeta in 2023. After the Russian invasion of Ukraine began, in July 2023, according to Reuters, the plant began producing Harpia-A1 attack drones using engines and components from China.

The Kupol plant is included in the sanctions lists of the European Union, the United States, Canada, >Ukraine and Switzerland.
