M113!!!! They are Vietnam era and If i remember correctly were not that well armoured, hence why you always saw the American troops riding around on the top of them in vietnam with sandbags around them instead of being inside them.
It looks like the M113's are on the way

In the circumstances of being accused of war crimes, the ICRC deems such photography acceptable in order to bring the abuse to public attention.

The resolution passed with 586 votes in favour, 100 against and seven abstentions: votes against came from the far-left Die Linke and far-right AfD.
It really surprises me that Scholz was absent for the vote - on his way to Japan. He seems to have a burning desire to stay as uninvolved as possible.

Russians have been executing Ukrainians trying to surrender near Donetsk, surely that just makes your job even harder as they will fight to the end.

A reasonable request.

Russia is an interesting character - almost like an out-of-control oversized kid playing dodgeball. Russia just lobbed two missiles into Kyiv and hit a residential high-rise building, damaging the first two floors. Hardly the behavior of a super power and technologically advanced military.

But if Bucha is anything to go by Russia is simply making the Country stronger and filling them with so much hate and loathing through these actions that the Ukrainians will fight back to their last.
Please note adopted 220-205.

I wonder how they are going to launch them? Scaffolding on the back of a truck or a Hi-lux? As far as I know, we have no ground based launch systems in service. Are they effective against maritime targets in their current configuration or will they need a software mod?
Stupidity comes to mind, they must have a finite supply of missiles to use, so as long as they are firing them into high rise buildings they are not diminishing the Countries military capability to defend themselves and fight back, the tragedy in it all is the innocents getting killed or maimed as Russia attempts to demoralise the Ukrainian people and break down their spirit and resolve.
