French President promised to transfer AMX-10RC light wheeled tanks to Ukraine

France is going to supply Ukraine with AMX-10RC heavy armored vehicles, which are also called light wheeled tanks. It is reported by AFP, citing a source in the administration of the French President.

The decision to transfer light wheeled tanks to Ukraine was announced by French President Emmanuel Macron in a recent telephone conversation with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. As reported in the Elysee Palace, Paris agrees to increase military assistance to Ukraine by transferring light tanks AMX-10 RC to the Armed Forces of Ukraine.



Recall that the AMX-10RC is a light wheeled tank or heavy armored car of French production. It was developed by Satory Military Vehicles on the special order of the French army as an armored reconnaissance vehicle, capable of also engaging in combat with enemy armored vehicles.

Armored vehicles of this type were produced from 1976 to 1994. Currently, the AMX-10RC is still in service with the French army. Also, these armored vehicles are in service with the armies of Saudi Arabia, Morocco, Qatar, Indonesia, the United Arab Emirates, Singapore and Cameroon. Now Ukraine can also be included in this list.

It should be noted that since the beginning of the special military operation, France has been providing great military assistance to Ukraine. So, Ukraine was supplied with self-propelled artillery mounts, anti-aircraft guns, howitzers, a large amount of ammunition and equipment. There are examples of the participation of French mercenaries in hostilities as part of the armed forces of Ukraine.

        Se sa. This is true. But it's not about the gun, but about the quantity ("how much will it be in grams?") There are 248 of them in France, so how many will fall to Ukraine? Crap, of course (Luminium armor, a dead diesel engine, a living machine, but not a tank. It is high in the mountains of France that you can anneal it, but really .... clowns.), but it can spoil your health. Shells, opt-electronic filling and other bells and whistles .... Macron can drop everything, instead of a "part". This is the least pleasant thing. request

          Nothing crap!)) 105mm NATO is a very dangerous gun for the RF Armed Forces, from infantry to tanks, a priori, because of the gigantic reserves and various, up to highly effective modern ammunition for them. The SLA of this car is also excellent, especially at night. The Armed Forces of Ukraine still do not have vehicles with guns of NATO systems from 25mm to 120mm, with a programmable charge. I suppose they are still afraid to give it, since artillery is far away, it’s hard to trophy it, and BMP and MBT are on the front. I believe that not only the Russian Federation, but especially the PRC would like to get, if not the most modern, but still relevant advanced SLA and other elements from the cannon to the BC, they are afraid of this in the West. The appearance of such crap will cause a lot of problems, you can’t hide in trenches, in dugouts, and I have no doubt that such a BC of the Armed Forces of Ukraine will be ordered immediately. This machine is also well-tested in battles, there is vast experience in tactics of use. The Armed Forces of Ukraine have already received the first 105mm systems, this is the T-55M from Slovakia, which everyone has forgotten, since apparently they have not yet been used, but Israeli BCs are also coming to these T-55Ms and quite a few. Now it is already a fully NATO current machine, and this is a certain next step in the supply of weapons.

              This is the first version of the gun. In the latest version, the AMX RC was equipped with a 105mm compatible with all 105mm NATO ammo for tanks. 105-mm-L/48 BK-MECA-L, because the first version could only fire French shells. This gun is screwed in there just to destroy tanks, all types of shells from Leo1 go to it.

              Of course, Cheetah. But they are used purely in the form of air defense, they do not risk working with them in positions. Remember the recent night attack on Kyiv, where 4-5 babakhs were visible in the sky? This is the work of the Cheetahs. In Crimea, dill drones were apparently shot down with zushki, tracers, and it was clear how the queues were leaving for the sky. In addition, unlike other calibers on the Cheetah, the Swiss Oerlikon 35mm, with expensive ammo, has few reserves and Switzerland does not give the go-ahead for their supply, the production of the APU. With 25mm Bushmasters, up to 120mm, there will be no such problems, besides, Bradleys should work on the front end and their 25mm has both sub-caliber against armor, and, which is especially dangerous, programmable 25mm shells for working in hidden positions. Similarly, AMX have 105mm guns compatible with all 105mm NATO BCs. That is, now these weapons will appear at the front directly, which was not the case before. Until now, in my opinion, 20mm is the largest NATO caliber on the front line, and I’m not sure, mainly KPVT and 2A42 and their counterparts on both sides.

          No.
          The Frenchman has a French cannon, and with shells 105 × 617


          The M55S has the usual L7 with the classic NATO 105x527.

          About not allowed. Tanks in the 47 mechanized assault brigade. And she's not at the front right now. As well as, for example, the 93rd brigade, which in December left the front for rotation (replaced the 28th mechanized brigade from the Kherson direction 46 airmobile). For example, Slovenian infantry fighting vehicles from the 28th brigade recently lit up.


          The 47th mechanized brigade will go either to rotation (I doubt it is expensive to grind it down in Verdun 22-23) or to repel the upcoming offensive (probably as a powerful reserve they were well pumped up with equipment) or to the UAF’s upcoming offensive.

During the modernization of the AMX 10 RC, the circular armor was also increased to 23mm from 300m, the forehead is correspondingly stronger, I believe it cannot be penetrated with 2A42 or 2A72. I have a suspicion that the T-55M with L7 push is used for training crews of this caliber in general, in order to later hit the same Leo1, of which there are a lot of scraped around the world if you want.

          And as for the French car - the gun is excellent there, but the armor is aluminum bulletproof, slapped with cluster munitions over the areas and only pull out blind people from this equipment ... although the equipment will also tryndets ... it’s against the Bedouins without DShK still all right , but against a normal army - grave squalor.

          Are you sure that freezing old people, children, people with illnesses to death will positively affect the victory? The Armed Forces of Ukraine will only make it angrier when loved ones die, this is obvious. And I don’t see the point in expecting that the people will arrange a Maidan with demands to capitulate because of the frost, there are no prerequisites. Another problem is compensation in the future, both for broken transformers and for supply from outside. Now the broken networks are being restored very quickly, thanks to the rapid replacement of the elements of the stations, and generators, who just did not supply, even Azerbaijan. In my opinion, there are many arguments against such tactics, unlike the defeat of logistics, military facilities, except for the minuses, I see no pluses.

              So I'm just replying to the comment above. A person considers, as apparently the authorities, strikes on the energy structure to be effective. But what is efficiency and purpose? So far, there have been no frosts of -20 for several weeks, as sometimes happens. But if there were, then the energy consumption would be higher and, taking into account the failures, it would be quite possible to arrange a collapse in cities of millions, freeze thousands of old people and other people in poor health at night. My great-grandmother, without any war in the Irkutsk region in the late 2000s, froze while sitting on an armchair at home, because they forgot to start firewood, she ran out. An old person, even if he keeps a farm, pigs, a garden, goes to the taiga, cannot go looking for firewood at -40 and below, in a snowstorm, and should not. And gas, water supply there, as they have never seen since the moment they were opened, they still don’t see it until now. So I'm asking, what is the purpose of the strikes on the energy system of Ukraine? How does this interfere with the APU? Should this force people in the territory controlled by the Ukrainian authorities to force Zelensky to sign peace? If there was such a goal, then in my opinion, judging by the result, it does not work. There is an opinion that these hundreds of heavy expensive missiles would be more useful in terms of logistics and troop concentrations.

      In fact, if this chariot is right (and not confused with the normal AMX-10, which is an armored personnel carrier of the M113 type), then the help is just so-so, very highly specialized. An additional type for supply (all our own, including the second type of 105 mm shells), and it is very unique.

      I don't even know how to use it effectively. There seems to be more or less cross-country ability for a chariot. Well, the SLA / communication is excellent. However, the usual AMX10 - which armored personnel carriers on tracks would go into increasing the combat capabilities of the Armed Forces of Ukraine much more strongly.

          AMX-10 - which are also in storage. Good thrust-to-weight ratio, armor at the level of M113, 8 troops, a ramp, a 20 mm cannon for support with a thermal imaging sight. If you wish, you can still screw Milan, probably, it will be just like an infantry fighting vehicle.



          Tracked armored personnel carriers are now more in demand than an exotic tank for the French 105-ku.

          Again, if we talk about tanks. In addition to the conveyor for lifting and modernizing the eastern T-72s, a large pack of Tvarda, which will already arrive in 23, there are trial M55S.



          Further, again, if you directly rest against no modern ones, then you can return to non-modern Leo, and even without Germany, and ship them through all sorts of Belgium-Denmark / private volunteer companies.

At the end of the 20th century, such armored vehicles were also called "heavy cannon armored vehicles" or "armored vehicles with heavy (cannon) weapons"! By the way, in the French army, the AMX-10RC is officially called the BRM [combat (armored) reconnaissance vehicle]! It is equipped with a 105-mm cannon, the ammo of which includes feathered shells ... Which previously gave reason in some reference books to call the gun smooth-bore ... but in other reference books a rifled 105-mm gun is indicated ..., motivating that France did not develop smooth-bore 105 -mm cannons ...

    France is going to supply Ukraine with AMX-10RC heavy armored vehicles, also called light wheeled tanks. It is reported by AFP, citing a source in the administration of the French President.
    Recall that the AMX-10RC is a light wheeled tank or heavy armored car of French production. It was developed by Satory Military Vehicles on the special order of the French army as an armored reconnaissance vehicle, capable of also engaging in combat with enemy armored vehicles.
    The capabilities of a wheeled tank should not be underestimated, but in order for it (French heavily armored wheeled vehicles) to reach the places of maintenance of the database, it is necessary to take into account the peculiarities of servicing French vehicles, in particular wheeled ones (parallel with French vehicles). It (service) for the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the field is associated with a parallel study of the "Kama Sutra", but for foreign mercenaries, including from France, their own is closer to the body.

    Crap is not crap, but with a minimum number of our aviation in the war zone, these cars will ride on the roads and bring a lot of problems to ours.

    If such vehicles are transferred, tanks like Leo1 can also be transferred there with a 105mm cannon with good shells. M60 with the same gun, Swedish tanks without a turret.

    This "stupidly neighing" is not a bad gun, by the way.

    This is so. But it's not about the gun, but about the quantity ("how much will it be in grams?") In France there are 248 of them. , but really .... clowns.), but it can spoil your health. Shells, opt-electronic filling and other bells and whistles .... Macron can drop everything, instead of a "part". This is the least pleasant thing. request

    So if the diesel engine is dead, then a funny clown car will not drive up a hill in France. Or wait .. Maybe his 105 mm guns and shells are "comic"?

    Well, we don’t work on bridges, therefore, it remains to “neigh” over how western weapons suck, and how we will famously dispose of them on the front line. And about how we will go to the Bay of Biscay. Konashenkov will tell about the successes, and the general of the army will be given a second star, and a marshal.

    .....and the nutcracker will click everything....

    Francophones go out of their way to show their hatred for Russians. Interestingly, with each new tank of theirs in the 404th, our attitude towards them is also deteriorating. Francophones have been saying for a long time, and not only, it was also in practical terms that they are the main partners of the West in relation to the Russians. And now they have destroyed it in less than 1 year. Prokekali what was created by de Gaulle, de Steen, Chirac and Sarkozy for many decades, in a few months!

    I looked at the performance characteristics of this technique, looked at the reviews. Definitely - never a replacement for a breakthrough machine, especially a tank. The product simply has no armor (officially - protection against bullets and shrapnel), a high profile + wheel traction. Already in Iraq, where it was used, there were complaints about it. In any direct collision with the RF Armed Forces - the result is obvious, from any tank it will “suck off” on the move, almost any armored personnel carrier will pose a mortal threat. Like a fighter with any non-modern anti-tank systems, up to the mammoth RPG-7 ancient as shit (one accurate shot to the Khan's "tank").
    Apply this - of course you can. As a nomadic firing point when defending lines, it’s quite, even easier than rolling a cannon. But again, the caliber of the gun is too small. Here the experts, jerking off on Nata’s weapons, wrote they say 125mm armats - nonsense, etc., and then these same citizens begin to give themselves up in the ass and write oh ... stories that even 105mm - ooh, this is dooo, hegegey)
    In short - another prodigy for which they will pray, they will peremagat (like the holy javelins, bayraktaria, etc.) and how these installations are ground by our Armed Forces of the Russian Federation - they will forget it like that.
    If it comes to that, in order to really turn the tide, we need MASSIVELY modern tanks at least with remote sensing and massively modern armored personnel carriers at least with a more or less normal automatic cannon. At the same time (which is not unimportant) - they also need breakthrough aviation (attack helicopters / attack aircraft), which Nata cannot provide from the word at all, because they themselves are dumb. Conclusion - there will never be a breakthrough for kakels, and they will slowly / quickly (it doesn’t matter) hand over to the backside and lose territory.
