Ukrainian battalion commander roast that the chariot provided by France was "impractical", and Zerensky thanked the rear battlefield | Ukraine | chariot
According to Agence France Presse on July 2nd, a Ukrainian military commander complained that the AMX-10 RC infantry tank provided by France was "impractical" for frontline combat, and claimed that a four person crew had already died due to the thin armor of this tank.
According to reports, the Ukrainian government announced in April this year that the Ukrainian military has started using this type of tank produced in France. Ukrainian President Zelensky previously thanked French President Macron for providing this type of tank, and Ukrainian Defense Minister Aleksi Leznikov was also filmed riding on it.
According to reports, a battalion commander from the 37th Brigade of the Ukrainian Marine Corps said that the "thin armor" of these tanks means they can be used for firepower support, but not for frontline attack operations.

The Ukrainian military colonel said, "Unfortunately, one of the crew members has already died in this type of tank."
He said, "There was a artillery attack, a shell exploded near the tank, shrapnel penetrated the armor, and ammunition on the tank was detonated." The battalion commander said that all four soldiers on the tank were dead.

He said that due to the thin armor of the AMX-10 RC infantry tank, "it is impractical to use them on the front line.".
He also said that perhaps due to driving on dusty roads, this French tank may also experience transmission failure.
The battalion commander said, "I don't think it's practical or necessary because for the crew, it's mainly a danger."
The report stated that the Ukrainian military commander did not specify how many AMX-10 RC infantry tanks his unit was equipped with, nor did he show these tanks to reporters.
The open-source intelligence analysis website "Da Ling Yang" claims that it has recorded the loss of three AMX-10 RC infantry tanks by the Ukrainian army. This website records material losses on the Ukrainian battlefield through images or videos obtained from the battlefield.
