It became known which unit of the Armed Forces of Ukraine received several French AMX-10RC armored vehicles recently loudly promoted by the head of the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense. The operator of these “wheeled tanks” is now the new 37th Separate Marine Brigade, which is still being formed, subordinate to the MP Naval Forces Command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The press service of this Ukrainian brigade informed the public about this.
Additionally, the 37th Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces was equipped with American Oskosh M-ATV MRAPs. This, so to speak, hints that the Ukrainian command plans to conduct maneuverable combat operations similar to those seen in late summer – early autumn 2022 in the direction of Kharkiv.
Wheeled vehicles are best suited for such tactics. One of the pictures just shows the item being worked out at the dump. But if the last time the Armed Forces of Ukraine actively involved outdated and less protected HMMWV (Humvee) armored vehicles transferred from the United States and a number of other NATO countries, then in the new campaign they will field modern American MRAPs with French described fire support against Russian armed forces.
As for the AMX-10RC, Paris handed over 14 units to Kiev and promised to bring the total to 30-40, which is enough to deploy several units in two formations of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Based on this, it can be assumed that the 38th Marine Brigade, which is created at the same time, is similarly equipped for the same purposes.
