LAV It and Leave It: Russians Stole Canada’s Super Bison in Daring Drive-By Heist

 

Russian soldiers from the 22nd Motorized Rifle Regiment have reportedly seized a Canadian-made LAV 6.0 Super Bison armored combat support vehicle (ACSV) from Ukrainian forces. Video footage shows the moment the Russian crew drives off with the prized trophy, while a Ukrainian mechanic desperately tries, and fails, to catch up on foot.

The LAV 6.0 ACSV, nicknamed “Super Bison,” is a highly capable armored vehicle based on an 8×8 wheeled platform, designed for combat support roles. Ukraine received 39 of these vehicles from Canada in 2022, directly from the General Dynamics Land Systems factory in Ontario. The vehicles for Ukraine were armed with 7.62mm C6 GPMG machine guns, Canadian designation for the FN MAG.

This is not the first time Western-supplied equipment has fallen into Russian hands, but the brazen theft highlights the challenges Ukraine faces in maintaining its armored fleet amid heavy battlefield losses. The captured Super Bison could now be studied by Russian engineers or even repurposed for their own forces, adding insult to injury for Kyiv’s Western backers.

The incident underscores the chaotic nature of frontline combat, where even advanced NATO-grade hardware can end up in enemy hands, sometimes with a little help from a daring Russian crew.

that looks like a mem.

take a picture or video, and put a false caption on it.

in other words, the video shows no proof of what you say it is.

propaganda.

that is the brand new command and control version, being tested by nato in ukraine using the latest nato c&c and electronic comms equipment and software that has only been given to ukraine very recently.

all that hardware and software was the target i would guess, not so much the vehicle platform.

i can’t wait until all the hopes and dreams of postmodern fags supporting ukraine turns to terror and then dejection when russia ensures ukraine will become a fractured rump state.

Vanya

russian under putin the mild is too weak to impose its will anywhere, total failure in libya, syria, africa, and unable to impose will even on its own border region.

the narrative

i doubt the russian response to nato terrorism and treaty violations include one canadian military vehicle .

Vanya

actually the only response will be simping to big blond daddy

no need to take it back to the lab for further analysis. the lav is a piece of garbage like most nato armored vehicles.
