The capacity of the Western MIC is in the pocket of the average citizen, who does not care about this war.
A new Marder costs 25 million, so the Western MIC in its current configuration simply cannot compete.
I wouldn't say that Russian IFV/APCs are modern or good, most of them are BMP1/2 and BTR-82 at best.
The BMP-3 is conceived in the same era as the Bradley.
But as time goes on, we see that as you say, Russia can adapt its industry to its needs.
They said the Boomerang will go into production by the end of the year, this will be one of the best IFV's in the world and with extra mine protection, well it will be interesting to see how they go into service as we have seen the T-90M more and more on the front line.
Yes, the tank seemed like it was going. Surroundings seems to have other abandoned Ukrainian vehicles. Somehow in the end the tank managed to separate and the MaxxPro was hit with something, perhaps artillery.
On this next video, you see two abandoned vehicles, a BMP and a Leopard, but what's interesting is the Ukrainian soldiers that were feigning death on the ground, then woke up and run away then fall to the ground again.
Correct me if I'm wrong, I think this is a Bradley getting the business end of a Russian FPV drone.
This could be the work of the DPR's notorious Sparta Battalion. Ukrainian troops were silently drone tracked to their hideouts, and once this was affirmed, the artillery opened fire on that spot.
HE or HEAT rounds would be way more better than APFSDS depleted uranium rounds in Ukraine. There's practically no MBT vs MBT battle and most of the rare footages are nearly at point blank range. MBT are mainly doing fire support to defeat infantry fortifications in tree lines, ruins and buildings.
Sending depleting uranium ammo is just done to anger Russia.
