The AMX-10RC has been used by Ukraine during the summer counter-offensive and has seen combat on the front lines.
The Ukrainian military received 40 French AMX-10RC armored vehicles. This was reported by the Bulgarianmilitary.
It is known that the AMX-10RC was already used by Ukraine during the summer counter-offensive and took part in the battles. However, then the Ukrainian Armed Forces lost five such armored vehicles, and it was decided to transfer them to the second front line.
Recently, information began to emerge that the AMX-10RC is being used again in combat. And Ukraine received an additional batch of 40 armored vehicles.
The AMX-10RC was first introduced to the French Army in 1981. Its main combat armament is the accurate 105mm F2 BK MECA L/47 gun, complemented by a 7.62mm NF1 general purpose machine gun or a 12.7mm M2HB heavy machine gun for higher firepower.
For the main weapon, the standard ammunition load is 38 rounds, and for the machine gun – 4000.
The armored vehicle has a Baudouin Model 6F11 SRX diesel engine with a power of 280 hp. This allows you to reach speeds of up to 85 km/h on paved surfaces and up to 45 km/h off-road. Depending on the specific configuration, the vehicle weighs from 15.8 to 22 tons.
It was previously reported that France will transfer additional Caesar self-propelled guns to Ukraine.
We remind you that Zelensky and Macron discussed the strengthening of air defense and naval forces.
