re: Latest Updates: Russia-Ukraine Conflict

It’s a little crazy to say but even with all we have given Ukraine like HIMARS, M777, M109 , Bradleys and Abrams that the one thing that might end up being the most crucial element to their army is a 60 year old vehicle that we don’t even want in our military anymore. The M113 APC. They absolutely love the vehicle for its speed and versatility. It takes their troops to the front, acts as a battlefield ambulance, a mobile mortar system and even as an IFV when they are armed with .50 cal or TOW launcher. Our old scrap metal due to be retired and disposed of or put in long term storage is crucial to their ability to operate. We end up saving money by writing them off and donating to Ukraine saves us the cost of maintaining or scrapping the vehicles.
