The National Guard of Ukraine received UAH 130 million to order Stugna-P anti-tank missile systems.

Olena Shuliak, Head of the Servant of the People political party, shared that these funds were transferred from part of the party’s public financing.

“130 million from the Servant of the People to produce the Stugna-P ATGM are already in the National Guard of Ukraine account,” Olena Shuliak said.

These funds will be used to sign contracts for Ukrainian anti-tank systems for the National Guard.

Shuliak previously noted that first, the party consulted with the Ukrainian General Staff, after which politicians decided that they wanted to transfer these funds to support the Ukrainian producer.

According to her, the funds transferred by the party amount to a significant share of the total contract value.

It is worth noting that the National Guard already has Stugna-P ATGMs in service, and the funds will be used to purchase additional batches.

Stugna-P ATGM was developed by the Kyiv Luch Design Bureau.

The system is semi-automatic and has laser guidance. Its export version is called “Skif.”

The Ukrainian anti-tank missile system can fire guided missiles of 130 or 152 mm caliber with various warheads.

The system’s missiles can hit not only tanks and other armored vehicles but also fortified positions.

There have also been cases of Russian helicopters being shot down in the air by Stugna-P guided missiles, including strike Ka-52s.
