The NATO military sometimes calls the Armed Forces “MacGyver’s Army” – in honor of the hero of the television series, who is very inventive and improvised with improvised items.
The Ukrainian military shows ingenuity in the use of available weapons. The New York Times reported it on Saturday, November 26, telling an interesting episode of the liberation of Snake Island, when the APU was towed on a CAESAR self-propelled gun barge to reduce the distance.
It was noted that from the land to the island where the invaders are located, about 50 km, while the range of CAESAR is only 40.
“To bomb the Russian positions in Zmeinoye, the Ukrainians placed CAESARs with a range of 40 kilometers on barges and towed them 10 kilometers to hit the island, which was 50 kilometers away, which surprised the French people,” the publication said.
The New York Times also notes that among the NATO military, the Ukrainian army is sometimes called the “MacGyver Army” – after the hero of the old television series, who is very resourceful and improvises in everything that comes to hand.
It will be recalled that Zmeiny Island in the Black Sea has been occupied by Russian troops since the first day of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. On June 30, 2022, he was released, and the Russians called their departure “a goodwill gesture.” Later it was reported that the Ukrainian flag was placed on the island and they were fixing things after a long “rule” by the Russians.
