French Tanks Inadequate for Ukrainian Counteroffensive, Warns Commander

A Ukrainian commander has criticized the French AMX-10 RC tanks provided to Ukraine, stating that their light armor makes them unsuitable for frontline attacks. The commander highlighted instances where the tanks were pierced by shrapnel, resulting in the death of the crew. Additionally, some tanks have experienced gearbox issues. The commander believes that American and British armored vehicles, such as the Oshkosh and Husky, offer better protection and effectiveness. Ukraine continues to seek hardware and training assistance from Western allies as it aims to capitalize on Russian confusion and low morale.
