After training in France, Ukrainian crews successfully use these machines to maintain infantry and attach sighting of the enemy's assault groups. This technique is opposed to the occupiers, according to the article. According to Ukrainian fighters, AMX-10 has high maneuverability and speed, which makes it effective in combat. According to the tank commander with the call sign "Yellow", the car can turn 360 degrees in place, develops speeds up to 80 km/h with a highway and up to 30 km/h.

This allows you to quickly change the position by avoiding the defeat of the enemy. Due to the hydropneumatic suspension, the tank is able to change the clearance and the slope of the body, which helps to fire due to shelters and to minimize the visibility on the battlefield. In this case, the armor is limited: the armor thickness is 20 mm, which provides protection against large -caliber machine guns, but makes the car vulnerable to heavy ammunition.

The main weapon of AMX-10-105mm gun with a 38 shells. It allows you to affect the targets up to 3 km, and the fire control system significantly increases the accuracy of firing. The system includes a laser rangefinder, a ballistic calculator and a thermal imager, which gives the crew the opportunity to adjust the shooting, taking into account the weather conditions and range. Thanks to this, the tank is able to hit the enemy from the first shot up to 2 km.

In addition to the main gun, AMX-10 is equipped with two machine guns of 7. 62 mm. One is mounted on the armor, the other inside the machine. In battle, the crew uses four types of shells: cumulative, armor -piercing, fugas and smoke. The most effective use of the tank - fire support for infantry and destruction of enemy assault groups.

According to the Yellow Commander, the crew recently destroyed a group of Russian servicemen who concentrated in the forest plant before the attack on Ukrainian positions. Interaction with shock drones and adjusting the fire from the air make these machines an important element of defense. At the same time, despite mobility and fire power, AMX-10 is inferior to classic tanks for armored protection and capabilities of combat.

Due to the lack of stabilization of the gun, the tank cannot shoot in motion, and its armor does not withstand hits from heavy anti -tank agents. Therefore, AMX-10 is mostly used for fire support and fast maneuvers, and the fight against enemy armored vehicles is relied on other means. Earlier, the PT-91 Twardy tank crew spoke about the benefits of equipment in combat missions. According to Ukrainian fighters, the car is able to perform on the battlefield those tasks that are not even artillery.
