They also took out an M1150
The Assault Breacher Vehicle or ‘ABV’ is (as of 2018) the United States’ latest Combat Engineering Vehicle or ‘CEV’. It is built on the hull of the US Military’s currently serving Main Battle Tank (MBT), the M1 Abrams. CEVs were a concept made famous by the British in the Second World War with the AVRE (Armored Vehicle Royal Engineers), and since then, similar vehicles have been a part of every major army. The ABV is the first of such vehicles to see service with the US military since the M60 based M728 CEV was retired from service in the mid-to-late 1990s, and this vehicle’s direct predecessor, the remotely operated M1 Abrams-based M1 Panther II, was retired from service in the late 2000s.

Germany to investigate Russia’s apparent interception of military talks on Ukraine
Germany to investigate Russia’s apparent interception of military talks on Ukraine
For far too long requests from the army to the Defnce Ministry to buy the necessary systems have been refused with comments such as " Just how do you expect to buy and pay for such equipment in peace-time " ? This striking episode about the hypothetical delivery of Taurus cruise-missiles to Ukraine is a painful example of how this policy has now backfired.
Viel zu lang seien entsprechende Anforderungen zur Materialbeschaffung aus der Truppe an Verteidigungsministerium und Bundesregierung mit Kommentaren abgetan worden wie: „Wer bitte in Friedenszeiten denn so etwas kaufen und bezahlen?“. Der pikante Vorfall um eine theoretische Lieferung von deutschen Taurus-Marschflugkörpern an die Ukraine zeige auf schmerzhafte Weise, wie sehr sich diese Politik nun räche.

He just does not get it, they are the problem, and if they f*ck off home to Russia, the solution.

“Latest package from sweden included “underwater weapons”, torpedo 47 from SAAB weights 340kg. USV would need some modifications, but probably doable with some Ukrainian ingenuity.”
I’m sure Humphrey Bogart could help here, they just need to resurrect the African Queen!

Well the driver had little idea either, with shots raining down on you from the right of your vehicle, he should have sought to park on the left of the abandoned vehicle thus providing some protection to his vehicle and squad by putting a vehicle between himself and the Bradley's fire.
