During the full-scale war, the invaders lost only four battery management machines, which indicates the great rarity of "Klen-1" in the ranks of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. The Ukrainian military destroyed a very rare battery control machine 1V18 "Klen-1". About it reports a military-political observer of "information resistance" Alexander Kovalenko in his telegram-channel. At one of the frames of the FPV-Drone operators, the observer noticed "Klen-1".

The machine is designed to control the artillery battery. It has been built on the basis of BTR-50PB and has been made since the 1970s. Kovalenko notes that during the full-scale war, the Ukrainian military destroyed only 4 1V18 "Klen-1". The first two in mid -2022, and another in April 2024, and then in July this year. According to its characteristics, "maple" is already an outdated machine, which does not fit the modern realities of battle.

It was designed to provide artillery units of field artillery. To do this, it is equipped with special equipment, which was placed in the rotary tower, from which all weapons were removed. On the car left one PCM machine gun with a 600 ammunition. In addition to the Klen-1, the NNP-21 night surveillance device, the control of the PuO-9M fire and more. We will remind, on June 28 the media showed how the invaders used the m-46 gun with North Korean projectiles.
