A small thread on what i call Sturm Vehicles in Ukraine:
Russia tries to overcome Ukrainian Defenses/Reach them, with multiple tactics. One of them is Speed over Protection.
To achieve the speed they resort to using unarmored civilian Vehicles, converted to carry a maximum of troops and to be quick and easy to dismount.
Naturally UTVs and Pickups come to mind regarding this.
For one Russians use their Desertcross 1000-3 UTVs, cheap and durable Chinese made UTVs available in large numbers.
Seats for 3 People, Russians manage to get 6+ People in them though. These are frequently seen during these assaults.
A small Thread about Vans, Pickups, SUV etc most commonly seen with Russian Armed forces.
Also a small note: Its IMO almost impossible for Russians to run out of these cheap vehicles.
1. UAZ-452/3741/2206/3909/3909i/3962/39625 etc.
The UAZ-452 was manufactured from 1965 to 1985.
Since 1985 the successor the UAZ-3741 is build, which we see commonly with Russian Armed Forces.
Also commonly seen are UAZ-2206 Minibusses, UAZ-3909 "Farmer" Combi-Vans, UAZ-3909i Military Ambulance, UAZ-3962 Tabletka Ambulances
Both Civilian Donated and offically in Russian Service
There is the claim by some towtruck driver that says that these 2 losses are faked and since so many people believe this bullshit i want to say a few things on why this is bullshit in my opinion
Another Video was posted by the RSF of the Captured Depot
Note that the BTR-3 in the new video havent yet been destroyed, so it was filmed before the last video
So because everyone seems to write about the losses at the Grayvoron Border Crossing I thought I'll give my opinion on it/ how I view it
After taking a closer look I have different views about this than in my previous posts.
So lets start with the AMZ Dzik
It seems it was the first Vehicle abandoned here, as you can see it already abandoned when the RVC (Russian Volunteer Corps) move into the Bordercrossing (Red Circle)
It was later again filmed by a drone:
Abandoned but still intact
