Kiev hopes that Canada will transfer decommissioned armored vehicles to the Ukrainian army

The Canadian Ministry of Defense plans to write off several dozen units of armored vehicles by the end of this year; in Kyiv they hope that Ottawa will transfer all the equipment to the Ukrainian army. While the question is up in the air, the Canadians intend to simply dispose of these armored personnel carriers.

The Canadian Army has 140 M113 armored personnel carriers, of which only 73 are operational, the remaining 67 are used as donors to maintain the remaining fleet in operational condition. The decommissioned armored vehicles were supposed to go to the storage tank, but one Canadian company offered to buy the armored personnel carriers, repair them and send them to Ukraine.

In addition to the M113, the Canadians are also decommissioning LAV II Bison armored personnel carriers and Coyote armored reconnaissance vehicles, which are in “poor condition.” The Armatec Survivability company proposed to modernize decommissioned vehicles and transfer them to the Ukrainian army as support vehicles, ambulances and infantry fighting vehicles. However, the military immediately refused to transfer M113 armored personnel carriers to Kyiv; there is no decision yet on the remaining vehicles. As the country's Ministry of Defense stated, all transferred equipment must be of “high quality,” and Canada cannot provide it. In Kyiv they agree to the transfer of armored vehicles in any form, but they cannot convince the Canadians.

Any equipment donated by Canada must be battlefield resilient, but more importantly must meet the specific needs identified by Ukraine and be equipment that Ukrainians are trained to use and have the resources and capabilities to maintain.

- said in a statement.

Meanwhile, in Kyiv they still hope that the Canadians will change their minds and still hand over the decommissioned equipment to the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

Some kind of grasping of a drowning man by the straw, well, it’s funny to say the least. Well, admit failure and give up already, save your lives.

It looks like the ambassador in Canada will be replaced.

What? The M113 performed well in difficult rice fields during the Vietnam War.))))))

Well, they don’t give M113. Apparently there is no agreement on the shares. What are the prospects for “restoring” fifty armored personnel carriers, the main thing is that they move off the platform and get to the nearest forest belt.

Apparently, over 60 years it has become very rusty.))))

For example, I have a tractor manufactured in 1979, and it’s still good to go. Why rust there, solid cast iron and everything is covered in oil!

The doctor said to the morgue, khnachis to the morgue! (bearded joke). Until the last Ukrainian!

[Essex62]

And what to do with them when they give up? Do the towers need it?

[French messenger]

what is the failure? Ukraine has not yet lost a single regional center)

GIVEYYYY... That, in fact, is the whole point of this news.

Well, just grabbing a drowning man by the straw, well, it’s funny to say the least. Well, admit defeat, give up, save your lives.

[Man from afar]

If they were as inventive and persistent on the battlefield as they were when trying to rummage through other people's pockets, houses and garages in search of free goods, we would be allowed to worry.

It's simple. Canada wants to recycle all sorts of junk, which is understandable. The outskirts want to drink other people's money. It is only necessary to milk the United States and the EU for money to restore such equipment, supply it to the territory, provide servants and ammunition. Somehow, it seems to me that it is now unlikely to milk green milk from the United States, since Israel is suffering.

M113 has proven excellent

They don’t give it that way!)))
Moreover, they are “in bad condition”)))
Spend a ton of money shipping scrap metal? So that Ukrainians can make a profit from its change?!

[garik77]

Apparently xoxlov was very angry that they would agree to any scrap metal. We need to put pressure on them now, while the war is going on in the Middle East

And in Ukraine they have also proven themselves. They burn well!

[Ovsigovets]

What an elegant message the Canadians are trying to fulfill with the heg))))

[Rumata]

In Kyiv they hope that Canada will transfer

Of course Canada will pass it on, grandpa will pass it on, dad will pass it on, and her children will pass it on.
MODERU! You wrote the word TRANSFER first!

[Fangaro]

Again, Ukrainian Canadians receive freshly baked rye bread in the form of wheat crackers from Canadian Ukrainians.

[bone1]

Yep - and used condoms

[Fedor Sokolov]

Why do Canadians need an army? They have never fought and it is unlikely that anyone or anything can threaten Canada, which is under the Anglo-American umbrella.

[Arkadich]

Canada is a member of NATO, and therefore participates in hostilities.

chin flies!!

Don’t laugh, Canada will balk and haggle for Pontus, and Canada will still hand him over!

This epic with all sorts of rubbish from all over the world reminds me of footage from the old film “The Green Van”.
--I ask you to give me, for temporary use, half a pound of nails and a quarter of moonshine. Just don’t give me corn, it gives me a headache later.

[Zenn]

Canadians don’t want to look at their equipment beautifully burning in the fields of Ukraine. It’s a waste of money and bad advertising. But so much effort and money have been spent on the fact that the equipment of the West and NATO is the most advanced, accurate and reliable. It turned out that its main advantage is that it burns beautifully.

[lukash66]

Like rats scurrying around the world in search of somewhere to beg for something. And they need everything as a gift. It's disgusting to look at all this.
