Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky thanked French leader Emmanuel Macron for sending light combat tanks to Kyiv, and Defence Minister Oleksiy Reznikov was filmed riding in one. According to the French defence ministry, AMX-10s offer protection against light infantry fire.
How tf is it even considered a tank it’s an apc with big gun
it’s offically classified as “tank”, undoubtly for padding French egos and pockets of manufacturers, but it’s hard to really classify because it’s essentially heavy armored car with really huge cannon for this kind of vehicle. Closest analogue would be tank destroyer/recoinessance vehicle.
In liberal fr*nce you have smol tank big gun, in People’s Democratic Republic of Algeria we have big tank smol gun
The vehicle replacing AMX10 in French army looks like that, so even they considered that gun to be too big:
That a BMP?
It’s a BMP-62, it’s a t62… With a BMP turret
If it works! Thanks
I love big tank small gun
It isn’t in technical terms. Western media only described it as such for PR points.
