Special inserts for car tyres are being tested in Ukraine. They will help to keep driving even with punctured or damaged wheels.
What is special feature of "armored wheels"
According to Mykhailo Fedorov, the Minister of Digital Transformation of Ukraine, "RunFlat" is a special insert in car tyres that allows a car to drive even on punctured or damaged wheels.
This is especially important when evacuating the wounded, performing a combat mission or delivering supplies to the defence forces. Soldiers don't have to stop and be exposed to danger — they can continue to move to a safe place, Fedorov said.
According to the minister, the liners will not be inferior to the world's best and are made of materials that are not prone to premature destruction.
The developers are planning mass production and expansion of the model range with large armoured vehicles.
What is known about production of weapons in Ukraine
According to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Ukraine must become so strong and effective that Russia knows that every attack will be met with a response. To do this, it is necessary to increase the production of Ukrainian weapons.
Ukraine already produces long-range weapons. For example, experts have managed to develop a new version of the long-range Neptune missile. In particular, it has recently become known that Ukraine has started mass production of drones, which are a kind of analogue of Iranian Shahed drones.
According to the Minister for Strategic Industries of Ukraine, Oleksandr Kamyshin, Ukraine has significantly increased the production of ammunition. For example, mines — by 42 times, artillery shells — by almost 3 times.
