That would be a novelty for the Russians as usually they are destroying western equipment in Ukraine long before it arrives there, the next stage will be Medvedev threatening nuclear retaliation and Russian TV mouthpieces claiming they will have to reclaim Washington but in the end Russia will destroy every single one of them by cleverly putting logistics hubs and bridges in their way.
They work well in Norway during winter operations, so they should do the trick in Ukraine as wellThis looked interesting, are they any good for say winter operations?

I wondered about that as they were based on the old M-113 which didn't have a lot of ground clearance and narrow track width as such I thought they would struggle in heavy snow and mud.They work well in Norway during winter operations, so they should do the trick in Ukraine as well
I think they handle the snow and the swamps like how a snowmobile does it, but it has narrow tracks. Is it amphibious?
It has amphibious capabilities but the M-113 was a chiropractors dream, most uncomfortable thing I have ever experienced, we ditched the last of ours in 2005.
I think it will repeat itself when the Ukrainians get the F-16 and what kind of munition the Ukrainians want to useWell all I can say is about f***ing time...

You mean like this...https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/ukraine-got-its-first-abrams-tanks-from-the-us-8-months-after-russia-s-propagandists-claimed-it-already-destroyed-one/ar-AA1hecba?ocid=msedgntp&cvid=133e5de219bb4b75981e75164e1fbc75&ei=48#image=1
Precisely, Leopards, Abrams, Bradley's, the Russians were wiping them out almost from the day they were announced as going to Ukraine.
Yes, it is illegal to target sick and wounded combatants during armed conflicts. The writing about it is somewhere in the Geneva Convention. But it happens all the time.
The strange thing is that I was always told that it took more resources (In terms of manpower and material) to treat wounds and rehabilitate someone or repair equipment as it tied up recovery people, medical/repair crews, rehabilitation people and logistics to get things back to operational and these were all people who were not adding anything new to the front.
That's the accepted theory, especially if 1 or more shooters help a buddy to the rear it would degrade your numbers quickly vs leaving the wounded to be tended by others.
If he had been sane he wouldn't have started it in the first place.
If there was any proof of North Koreans fighting in Ukraine, the BBC,Guardian, Economist, NYT, WAPO, they would have published these proofs during weeks and US would threaten NK.
Unlikely as the general consensus was that they would be used in support roles such as logistics, engineering, industry freeing up Russians for the front.
I guess the North Korean will supply the Russians with ammunition and not deploying North Korean forces to Ukraine
