Video footage of a column of the Ukrainian Armed Forces being destroyed by the Russian army has appeared on the web. These were mainly Western models of military equipment. In all likelihood, the column was hit by Russian artillery during the march.
The released video footage clearly shows how the French Renault VAB armored personnel carriers are on fire. There were four in the destroyed column. All were amazed. In addition, the Ukrainian armored car Cossack-2 came under fire from Russian artillery.
Most likely, the Ukrainian unit, which came under fire, managed to avoid personnel losses. In any case, there are no reports of dead or injured soldiers of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. But the technological losses were serious.
It is unlikely that all armored vehicles that fell under the impact of artillery can be restored. With a high degree of probability, it can be assumed that the convoy was detected using an unmanned aerial vehicle. After that, an artillery strike was carried out on it.
It should be noted that the Renault VAB armored personnel carrier has been produced since 1976. During this time, French industry managed to produce about five thousand of these machines.
French armored personnel carriers entered service with the Ukrainian army last summer. The Ukrainian armed forces used this technique during the offensive in the Kherson region.
