On August 14th, a column of US-made International MaxxPro MRAPs entered the Donbas region. The armored vehicles provided to the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) by the US were delivered through Italy, Poland and Romania. They arrived on the territory of Ukraine three days before.
The column of at least 18 vehicles were reportedly spotted near the village of Slavyanka located 45 kilometers to the west from the city of Donetsk. Machine guns were seen installed on the towers of the armored vehicles.
However, some of the vehicles lost the battle against the Ukrainian fields. They got stuck in the mud.
The International MaxxPro is an MRAP armoured fighting vehicle. It was designed by the US company Navistar International’s subsidiary Navistar Defense along with the Israeli Plasan Sasa, which designed and manufactures the armor. The vehicle utilizes a crew capsule with a V-shaped hull mounted on an International 7000 chassis and can withstand ballistic arms fire and mine blasts.
The number of vehicles supplied to the AFU was not revealed. According to some reports, about 60 vehicles were spotted en route to Ukraine.
On August 12, MRAPs were spotted on the Polish-Ukrainian border.
Earlier, they were seen in Italy heading for one of the local ports.

The International MaxxPro vehicles were used in Iraq and Afghanistan. A total of 9,000 vehicles were produced, which are now distributed to various war-toen regions. Today, it’s turn of Ukraine.

Any proof that they’ve trasit Romania? I’ve seen footages just from Poland and Italy …
One question,why the fuck wasn’t that covoy incinerated?
we all here have the same question
The Russian Air Force does not air superiority it would seem. If they did we wouldn’t get that annoying constant stream of Western politicians to pose next to Zelensky in Kiev.
LOS ARTILLLEROS O AVIADORES RUSOS HABRAN TENIDO EL DIA FRANCO ??
Because Putin has ordered not to destroy civilian infrastructure (bridges, roads, rail, power plants, etc), as this isn’t “war” but a limited Special Miitary Operation.
Also, the vid shows civilian cars moving next to them, heading to the opposite direction… it’d terrible if they were hit. I guess the USA/UK/Ukraine have realized very well that Russia won’t hit anything outside the occupied areas anymore because it practices “defense”. Putin doesn’t want to take Kharkiv, Odessa, etc.
Maybe Russia isn’t as militarily capable as we are led to believe . Makes no sense , this convoy should have been blown to bits, immediately.
Those things are like most JewSA citizens – overweight, dumb and irrelevant!
When the Autumn rains arrive the butt ugly US ‘armoured school busses’ will be confined to paved roads :)

Their ‘scandalous’ design and finger print will make them easy to be spottet. If you are a Ukrainian soldier assigned to drive such a bitch, then I have a advice for you: -Kiss you wife/girlfriend goodbye and wish her a nice life.
Yes and while they are at it they can kiss their arse goodbye
The rig number is Romanian. MS is Mures
Correct … I missed that one
MRAP – Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected. Whew, the U.S. military sure does love there acronyms. I’m surprised they did not add Armored Vehicle to make it MRAPAV.
This is just junk!!!!
we know these MRAP International MaxxPro well, they have been mocked many times in Syria. They blocked our road, but ours came, when ours block them, these cars burn and fall apart :)

More US junk for Russian target practice.
The Ukraine war truely is the biggest mistake of the Putin era. The entire western world is supplying the Ukrops with weapons. Besides the US does not want this war to end. The longer it takes , the more Russian youth get killed. The American does not care about Ukrops , the only thing they want to see is Russian blood soiled on the battlefield by NATO bombs, weapons and armor.
Putin gave the Americans a very good opportunity to kill as much as possible Russian youth. This is called like a opportunity of a life time. You get it once , and the Americans together with NATO will grab this opportunity. The more Russians get killed , the better the American sleeps.
Some sad little Turkey gobbling away there Mr Ottoman. How is that 78% inflation working out for ya while Erdodog spends your taxes on his various assorted foreign military adventures?
It’s better to have economic problems than to be in a state of war with a nation which gets full weapon/bomb/technology support of the entire NATO. I mean how can you say the war in Ukraine is good when you see that it has become a stalemate , a typical WW1 trenchwar , a meatgrinder. For every inch hunderds or even thousands of soldiers die on both sides.
These vehicles will either be Sold or destroyed. I hear that many brand new military vehicles and 4×4 vehicles are being sold on for parts…..
Why were they not blasted up before? Is this because the idea is to follow them and their operators to their lair and get a bigger catch?
lgbt vehicle for hohol fags
Poor Russian Air Force ! Disappointing
All I’m going to say is one word – Houthis.
UA winter: “The snowy period of the year lasts for 5.2 months, from October 28 to April 5, with a sliding 31-day snowfall of at least 1.0 inches. The month with the most snow in Kiev is December, with an average snowfall of 4.7 inches. The snowless period of the year lasts for 6.7 months, from April 5 to October 28.”
It feels like Russia is going to push hard during wintertime. Fair and it makes sense, they couldn’t fight back against Russia during spring and summer – how will they do that during winter?
Side note, I’m sorry but MRAPs aren’t going to change anything for UA. The Neo-Nazis are using civilians’ cars to not get hit, now why would they use MRAPs? “Hey Russia we are here, do you see these fat MRAPs?”
Also, remember the 5 Australian Bushmaster MRAPs? Tell me what happened to those? I believe all of those got destroyed. I remember yanquis getting so pissed at Iraqi PMUs for using mines that they got from Iran.
I’m so pissed, who asked for these even? MRAPs are known to get stuck in the mud, they are so heavy, and yet they send those to UA? SMART. I know the military industrial complex pigs laughing their ass off to the banks. MaxxPro’s price per base vehicle is around $520,000 – $550,000.
Soon to be stuck in the mud and catching artillery shells.
if Russia had got air supremacy, all this stuff would had been blown up just after crossing the polis-ukrainian border. But so far, the russian air force has shown as a poor trained and hihgly incompetent air force.
True. This is the reason why Ukrainians have a hold on their nation. Together with NATO bombs/weapon support they hold off the Russians.
No, if Putin wanted, he’d use more soldiers and heavier weapons and would conquer more of Ukraine, but he’s ordered the Army not to go to “war” but to complete a limited “Special Military Operation” to help the DPR and LPR to liberate their lands only. This means he’s forbidden the Russian Army to destroy the enemy’s bridges, roads, railways, power plants, etc.
Effectively, Putin has tied the Army’s hands and the Army is angry with him because if they don’t destroy the bridges, then the western weapons keep arriving to the front line!
Why is Russia prolonging this conflict? They have air superiority, and all the capabilities to knock out every gun and convoy in Ukraine. Russia should be on the westernmost borders by now. I’m not buying this stuff, something is going on politically we’re not seeing.
Same as Syria, arms dealers fiercely hand-rubbing
The Russian army is not that strong to take over Ukraine because Ukraine gets NATO bombs/intelligence/weapons. The Russian soldiers also have very low moral , alot of them do not want to go to war. Biden was right when he said in the beginning of the war, that he would make Putin a pariah on the international stage.
Yes, I talked to a Russian and the political plan is to not advance and not escalate because Putin is expecting a negotiated peace from the West, after they realize they won’t succeed in beating Russia in Ukraine.
Personally, I think there’s NO WAY the USA will agree in any such kind of deal, if Russia doesn’t advance in Ukraine, and I don’t understand how Putin doesn’t see it himself!!!
RUSIA DEBERIA FABRICAR ALGUNA VERSION ACTUALIZADA DEL MIG 21 A MODO DE UN F 16 RUSO SERIA PERFECTO PARA EXPORTACION Y PARA QUE TENGAN ALGO INTERMEDIO Y MORTIFERO E IGUAL DE CONTUNDENTE QUE UN MIG 35 PERO MAS ADAPTABLE BARATO Y DE FACIL USO YA QUE LOS BIMOTORES SON COMPLICADOS Y NO ESTAN FACILMENTE DISPONIBLES TODO EL TIEMPO DEBERIAN COPIAR LA IDEA DEL GRIPEN PARA SER MAS PRECISO
nevím jak teď,ale dříve byli dodávky západních zbraní,připojovány (vagony) k vlakům které na ukrajinu vezli západní diplomaty- důvod musí být každému jasný. Nezničíš vlak ve kterém jede člen z některých vlád EU či NATO….
