“Impractical, with thin armor”: the commander of the Armed Forces of Ukraine appreciated the French AMX-10 RC on the battlefield

The battalion commander of the 37th Marine Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine with the call sign "Spartan" in an interview with AFP said that the AMX-10 RC light wheeled tanks delivered to Ukraine are impractical in an offensive due to their thin armor, but are effective in reconnaissance and for fire support.

As a result of the explosion of a 152-mm artillery shell next to such a tank, fragments penetrated through the armor. On one such occasion, the entire crew died, the Spartan said. “The guns are good, the observation devices are very good. But, unfortunately, the armor is thin and it is not advisable to use them on the front line,” he summed up.

I think that they should be used for proper purposes that is it. Those are not the heavy armoured tanks to break through the Ruzzian defence…

Germany and Poland could not agree on the maintenance of Leopard tanks transferred to Kyiv - Der Spiegel

The main reason is the difference in estimating the cost of the work. The Polish Defense Enterprise Group (PGZ) is demanding more than €100,000 for initial tank diagnostics, while in Germany it costs about €12,000. In addition, PGZ does not want to provide any guarantees for repairs.

A planned repair plant in Poland was supposed to open a month ago, but negotiations between the countries are still ongoing.

Shit…
✈️ Eight British Hawker Hurricane aircraft from the Second World War were found near Kyiv

🔍The find began with an unexploded bomb from the WWI era found nearby, and there were airplanes further down the ravine. The Soviet army received them as part of a lend-lease agreement, which, according to the Ruzzians, did not solve anything and was imperceptible.

Only for some reason eight planes found in one place and were buried after the war in order to add them to the category of destroyed and not to pay to allied UK. This is evidenced by the weapons and electronics removed from the units. After that, they were taken out of the airfield and thrown into a ravine, where they were buried. Specialists are now disassembling the remains and trying to restore the planes by details.

🧩This is just a fresh example of one small episode within the larger topic of Lend-Lease, which saved the USSR from destruction.

Kleshcheevka and the south of Bakhmut.

Now there are battles for a 200-meter height to the west of Kleshcheevka (you see on the map 200 in small numbers - this is the designation of the height of the hill).

Kleshcheevka itself is located in a lowland. Control of the height will open the way to Kleshcheevka and the south of Bakhmut. But fighting for heights is always difficult and requires a lot of effort. Over the past 24 hours, the territory controlled by the RF Armed Forces in this area has decreased, and the gray zone has expanded. Blue arrows - the direction of the assaults of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

To the north-east of Ivanovskoye, the Ukrainian Defense Forces managed to take a small area and come close to the western borders of Bakhmut. There are fights ongoing.
