The 110th Mechanized Brigade is one of the Ukrainian army’s newest brigades. It’s been holding one of the most dangerous sectors of the Ukraine front.
In the video, apparently shot by a 110th Brigade trooper from a trench somewhere north of Bakhmut, some of the brigade’s ex-Dutch YPR-765 armored personnel carriers perform a seemingly odd dance—advancing then reversing then advancing again while attacking across a muddy field, firing their heavy machine guns at nearby Russian positions.
The aluminum hulls of M-113s and derivates offer minimal protection. But their automatic transmissions and high speed in reverse—atypical for contemporaneous APCs—makes them easy to drive and nimble. Ukrainian crews who have transitioned from Soviet BMPs to M-113s and YPRs have praised the Western vehicles for their user-friendliness.be charging unsupported at enemy trenches. That’s a job for a much heavier, better-protected and better-armed vehicle: a German-made Marder or American-made M-2.

daxe The Russians need an excuse to use nuclear weapons. Supplying weapons to the dictator in Ukraine which will be used to kill Russians is definitely an Act of War. Hopefully, China will warn the US about starting a war and the Biden Crime Family will jump in line.
