Armored car HMMWV of the US Armed Forces stuck in the sand during the exercises of the landing of the United States and the Republic of Korea
An American armored car HMMWV, which participated in the military exercises of the armies of South Korea and the United States on the Korean coast, got stuck in the sand during the landing of an airborne unit. This was reported by the correspondent of RIA News.
An American amphibious unit landed ashore from two LCAC hovercraft landing craft. Paratroopers landed from the boats and armored vehicles were unloaded. One of them could hardly move along the sandy beach.
Ultimately, the armored car got stuck. American soldiers had to push the armored car out of the sand. South Korean paratroopers landed on the amphibious assault vehicles KAAV version AAV7, which are in service with the assault units of the Republic of Korea Army.
As the RIA News, from March 27 to 29 in Pohang and its environs, which is 272 kilometers southeast of the South Korean capital of Seoul, joint tactical exercises of the airborne units of the US Armed Forces and the Armed Forces of the Republic of Korea were held. They are the culmination of the Ssangyong military exercise since 2018.
American and South Korean paratroopers set off on boats from the islands of Dokdo and Makin. They conducted a landing exercise, and during the exercises, an imitation of the bombardment of the territory occupied by a mock enemy was carried out by aircraft of the US and Republic of Korea Armed Forces.
The exercises involved about 650 military personnel, 30 ships, including landing ships ROKS Dokdo and USS Makin Island, F-35B fighters, AH-64 Apache helicopters, and about 50 amphibious assault vehicles.
