The Armed Forces showed what the French armored vehicle AMX-10RC was transformed into (video)

According to military analysts, French "light tanks" were developed for war with an opponent who has no heavy anti -tank weapons. Therefore, a full-scale war in Ukraine was a kind of sentence for AMX-10 RC. Ukrainian troops received French heavy reconnaissance armored vehicles AMX-10 RC in the spring of last year, but the first experience in battle showed that they were not intended for offensive actions.

In view of this, the fighters of the 37th Marine Infantry Brigade decided to exploit a "light tank" in such a role under which it was not created at all. This was told on April 23 by Defense Express observers. At first glance, the authors of the material write, the AMX-10 RC armored vehicles have not changed. Outwardly, it is a machine with the same weapons and armor, but changes have affected the tactics of using its capabilities.

"The key is to change its use and the actual transformation into the SAU, because it is actively used for shooting from closed positions. At the same time, the car in the field has to install artillery bead," experts said. This is the use of Ukrainian fighters AMX-10 RC. But to say how effectively this technique copes with these tasks compared to tanks is difficult. The fact is that the French armored vehicle is a 105-mm rifle F2 bk meca L/48, which can fire fragmentation and fugitive ammunition.

However, in power, this projectile is inferior to the tank fugas 125 mm. Thus, experts continue, the idea of ​​AMX-10RC, as the most powerful firearm in mobile fighting in counter-directions, was in real combat conditions low-realistic. Viewers explain this by the fact that the car was created in the 1980s, for war with an opponent who has no heavy anti-tank weapons.

Therefore, in order to effectively use French armored vehicles and to reveal their combat potential in conditions such as war in Ukraine, there must be some conditions. But Ukrainian soldiers do not especially have to choose, so they have to adapt to the realities of war everything that is in the realization of the field of battle of a full -scale war explicitly indicate that in general the concept of a light wheel tank has become even more controversial than it was, " - experts summed up.
