Slovenia handed over to Ukraine a batch of Yugoslav-made M-80A infantry fighting vehicles

The Ukrainian army has replenished with combat vehicles M-80A of Yugoslav production. A batch of BMPs was handed over to Kyiv by Slovenia, and this happened back in May or early June. The delivery of armored vehicles was announced by Slovenian Minister of Defense Marjan Sarek.

The Slovenian Minister of Defense commented on the demands from Kyiv to provide as much as possible weapons, stating that Slovenia had exhausted its ability to provide military assistance by transferring everything it could to the Armed Forces of Ukraine. According to Sarek, Kalashnikov assault rifles, protective helmets, bulletproof vests and 35 BMP M-80A removed from storage were sent to Ukraine.

As the minister emphasized, Slovenia can further provide assistance to Ukraine in demining the territory, as well as training the Ukrainian military.

The fact that Slovenia intends to donate to Ukraine a batch of Yugoslav M-80A infantry fighting vehicles was reported back in May of this year. This armored vehicle was no longer used by the Slovenian army and was in long-term storage. Moreover, it is alleged that Kyiv was negotiating with Ljubljana on the possible purchase of these infantry fighting vehicles.

The M-80A infantry fighting vehicle was developed in Yugoslavia and put into service in 1982. Serially produced at the FAMOS plant in Hrasnica (Bosnia and Herzegovina) until 1991, a total of about 900 units were manufactured. Although the M-80A is compared to the Soviet BMP-1, it has an original design and is closer to the French AMX-10P, from which it borrowed many elements. The BMP has five rollers, while the Soviet BMP-1 has six. In the basic version, it was armed with a 20 mm automatic cannon, later the caliber was increased to 30 mm.

Again, the whole of fascist Europe is against Russia! Another crusade has begun .. Well, well, Lord, everything is written

[mojohed2012]

Why are you surprised?
It's just incomprehensible to the mind. To the Russian mind ... That all these years of the "cold war" and the "peace after the 90s" in the minds of residents and politicians of all countries of the West and the United States there was frank and intolerant hatred for Russians, for Russia and all of its culture, that they they have refused all this and show their animal hatred by action.
The removal of masks and the animal grin of Western "democracy" and the revenge of Germany on the rejection of "guilt for what they have done in the past" - these are the new realities. The crusade has not yet begun. But it's definitely getting ready.
The West is being driven towards it by inflation, the collapse of governance, falling expectations from the elites, poverty, the dominance of migrants and refugees, and so on and so forth. It is necessary to divert the burghers from the present - by driving them into the trenches against the so hated historically Russian untermensch, in order to once again expand the "living space in the East."

Why are you surprised?

Yes, I’m not surprised, I always felt it at the genetic level, since the days of the USSR .. I saw these hating views and the difference in living standards .. Now I look confidently, understanding what’s what ..!
And what is happening now both in the Outskirts and in the Baltic States, and especially in the USA and their vassals of the EU .. It’s a balm for my soul, but it’s difficult for Russia, yes there is a risk of a world war, but damn it I’m tired of all this humiliation and robbery .. The time has come, when the masks are dropped and the war of systems, human values ​​begins and I am proud that I live in Russia and I have a Russian soul and the devil is not our brother!
Forgive me for the pathos, but it escaped from my soul and smoldered for a very long time, now flashing, then fading away .. We will break through this time, men, the main thing is to believe in Russia!

Oh okay. Since the end of the Second World War, the United States has strictly ensured that its own people come to power in the controlled territories (Degaulle got out of the clip, they quickly threw it off), but for what? To have more dough in America. What has changed since 2014? And there was someone to rob. So the elites of the states pulled off the Ukraine operation with the aim of letting Europe on the barbecue, and it was Europe (well, it won’t feed the appetites of the states of Ukraine.) Japan is next for barbecue, Australia will get ready, the Indians were allowed to work up fat for the future. All wars are about money, and with the public debt of the states, they have no choice but to cut their satellites, because they owe them a lot.

Found a dump where you can dump all the junk.

Well, you can gloat, but these M80s are quite normal boxes with an autocannon (even if there is Yugoslavia, Hispano, then Slovenia also gave shells for sure). They carry troops, BM with a cannon and birds, I won’t be surprised if the craftsmen screw some kind of Fagot there.

This is better than a Bogdan school bus or a Maz-grain truck for the same reserve corps, which is in the south, for example. And the DPR militias in Aleksandrovka, Arkhangelsk or Snigurevka are clearly not happy with such replenishment from the enemy.

The minister also said that they could supply tanks (M84) and wheeled APCs (obviously Panduras - which are replaced by Boxers under the contract, here they are in the picture) - subject to legal guarantees to speed up the supply of Boxers and replace the M84.

The total volume of deliveries made was not disclosed, but according to unofficial information, Slovenia transferred weapons and infantry equipment to the battalion.

Slovenia decided to make money, then they will make money in Slovenia

No matter how cynical, but I feel that the armored museum in Kubinka will be replenished with new samples ... No, colleagues, I'm not talking like a jingoistic patriot; it’s just that this technique, I hope, will eventually be hit or abandoned. But then it would not hurt to shove the trophy specimens into the Patriot museums and parks. Maybe the Artillery will get something ...

[DenZ]

It seems to them that we are still supplying gas at the same time

[Dmitry_7]

I propose to call this miracle of technology "mykola - cooker"

The power of the USSR is felt. Already what kind of war is grinding the stocks of Soviet and near-Soviet weapons, but it still does not end. Here is the range.

[TreeSmall]

The power of the USSR is felt.

That was COUNTRY!
"Not like the current tribe (Stubs)"
The USSR, in the long term, if it were 1980-eeee, would confidently take 1 or 2 (in fact) place in the world, both in terms of living standards and in terms of the economy.
That's why the USSR didn't exist

[Nikolaevich I]

As for the BMP M-80 ... I was somehow able to read an article about the use of the M-80 in the Yugoslav civil war in the 90s ... The reviews are very critical! In particular, weak armor protection was noted ... In general, it is no better than the BMP-1 with all its shortcomings!

In 1991, they fought with the Yugoslav army - gained independence. In 2004, they joined NATO and practically said goodbye to their independence. Today, as a member of NATO, they contribute to the escalation of the conflict in Ukraine. In a word, pah.

Of course, the logistical management of this salad of armored vehicles must be a nightmare.

Slovenia may further provide assistance to Ukraine in demining the territory,

... I think it will not be needed due to the possible lack of such in the future ... but we can handle it ourselves ...
