The French to the rescue? French older light armor vehicle [LAV] being sent to the Ukraine.

Not a main-battle-tank. A wheeled armored combat vehicle better referred to as a "light" tank?

"France to Deliver Light Armored Vehicles to Ukraine"

From VOA News January 05.

"France announced it will send light tanks to Ukraine, a French official said on Wednesday after a phone call between the two countries’ leaders."

"French President Emmanuel Macron told Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy that France would send light AMX-10 RC armored combat vehicles — a light tank model the French military has used since the 1980s but is being phased out — to help its war effort against Russia, the official said."

See this You Tube video an excellent description of the AMX-10 RC:

Comments:

* A wheeled vehicle of this weight will be able to operate during the period of the rasputitsa without impediment?

* That French 105 mm round as fired from the AMX-10 RC NOT COMPATIBLE with standard NATO issue tank ammo of the same caliber!

How many of the AMX-10 RC are being sent to Ukraine? The French currently have over two-hundred of these "light tanks" in service being phased out. Exact number to be sent tp Ukraine and date of delivery yet to be determined?
