UKRAINIAN: The AMX-10 is no good.

07/03/2023By Redaktion

Loud tank criticism from Ukraine. A Ukrainian battalion commander, under the name "Major Spartanets," gave an interview to the AFP agency, in which he gave his verdict on French armored vehicle assistance: The French AMX-10 RCs are not suitable for offensive operations due to their thin armor. Fragments from 152mm artillery shells penetrate the armor. In such an incident, the entire four-person crew was killed. - This may of course also be based on a misunderstanding of the vehicle's use, the AMX-10 is a wheeled reconnaissance vehicle that moves quickly and avoids combat, even though it has a powerful cannon. As a "light replacement combat tank," it is not suitable ...

Ukraine received 30 units of AMX-10 from France, of which nearly a third is believed to have been lost, six presumably due to complete failure on the battlefield, three are said to have fallen into the hands of the Russians.
