With ‘Huge’ Funds From Its Allies, Ukraine Is Buying A Hundred Polish Fighting Vehicles With Powerful Autocannons

Ukraine has inked a deal with Poland to acquire 100 Polish-made wheeled fighting vehicles.

Polish prime minister Mateusz Morawiecki announced the vehicle deal in a Facebook post on April 1. “The quality of this equipment is evidenced not by words, but by the experience of the soldiers,” MorawieckiUkraine is paying for the $4 million vehicles with what Morawiecki described as “huge” funds provided by the European Union and the United States.

The Polish army has acquired more than 900 Wolverines and assigned them to several mechanized brigades. A decade ago, the army modified scores of Wolverines with extra cage armor and deployed them to Afghanistan, where some survived rocket attacks and roadside bombs. Swapping a 60-year-old BMP-1 for a brand-new Wolverine is a profound upgrade. The BMP-1 with its thin armor is vulnerable to machine-gun fire—to say nothing of rockets, artillery and anti-tank missiles. And the BMP-1’s low-velocity 73-millimeter gun practically is useless in an intensive fight.

How do you remove all the Russian tanks stuck in the fields outside Kyiv? Ukraine them out.

Diesel?!? That’s not ESG friendly.

The Ram 1500 Rev looks more like the current gas-powered model than a more futuristic concept vehicle the company showed off in January. Kia’s new EV9 is a little longer than the automaker’s popular gas-powered Telluride, and it can seat up to seven in three rows of seats. The two debuts in Wednesday are among only nine automaker press conferences, far short of previous years. Many of the new models have been rolled out previously as automakers move away from auto shows and introduce new products virtually. 👀👀 NYC doesn’t rate hosting an auto show. 80%+ of them want to ban automobiles because they don’t use them. Hate to get stuck in the mud with that
