It is reported about the unsuccessful operation of American armored vehicles in Ukraine. We are talking about MaxxPro armored vehicles recently delivered in the interests of Kyiv.. These are 13-ton armored vehicles with a 4x4 wheel arrangement.. They are positioned in the United States by the manufacturer as a "promising replacement for HMMWV armored vehicles".
To Ukraine such armored vehicles (International MaxxPro) delivered no more than a dozen. The specific power of these pieces of equipment is up to 20 HP. per ton.
Arrived on Ukrainian soil International MaxxPro, reportedly, previously used by US forces in Iraq.
Now the Ukrainian military in social networks share their impressions of the operation of these machines. celebrated, what about the asphalt, concrete, on hard ground, the car “goes confidently, be comfortable in it 7-9 fighters". But as soon as the armored vehicles move out onto relatively loose ground, and even more humid, problems begin. Under its own weight, MaxxPro literally buries its wheels into the ground. It becomes impossible to get out of such a “ground trap” on your own.. We have to use another armored vehicle, to pull out the stuck.
As noted by the Ukrainian military, soil (photographed) hard to call too wet, but this is enough, so that the International MaxxPro gets stuck almost on the top edge of the wheel.
In such a situation, and that MaxxPro, stuck in the ground, and so on, who is trying to get her out, turn into easy targets for tanks or ATGM crews.
