France will transfer the AMX-10 armored vehicle to Ukraine

France will transfer the AMX-10 RC armored vehicles to Ukraine, which can be classified as a heavy armored personnel carrier or a light wheel tank. This was reported by Reuters and the Ukrainian media with reference to the French official who was not named after the name of the French official about the details of the Presidents of France and Ukraine Emmanuel Macron and Vladimir Zelensky.

According to a representative of France, this is the first time when western production armored vehicles will be delivered to Ukraine. Previously, NATO countries supplied Ukraine with armored vehicles and tanks, but it was about Soviet -made machines.

Officially, the Elysee Palace has not yet commented on the results of negotiations between Macron and Zelensky. The President of Ukraine wrote in Telegram that he thanked Macron for the decision to "transfer light tanks to Ukraine", as well as Bastion armored vehicles - the plans for their supply were reported earlier. Zelensky in his message called Macron "friend" and noted that the leadership of the French president "brings our victory."

The AMX-10 is in service with a gun and a machine gun. They are intended for the role of an intelligence machine, also capable of combating enemy armored vehicles. How many of them will be sent to Ukraine is unclear; There were several hundred of them.

The leadership of Ukraine has repeatedly turned to NATO countries with a request for the supply of heavy armored vehicles, including tanks, but at the moment Germany, the United States and other countries have not decided on such deliveries.

US President Joe Biden on Wednesday stated that Washington was considering the possibility of supplying Ukraine to Ukraine of Bradley infantry. Thus, he confirmed earlier a message from the Bloomberg agency that the United States reflects on such supplies.
