They're out of even MRAPs???
The War in the Ukraine

Does Oryx also taking a break to? Or even UA Arms Tracker?
Ukraine have a rather flat terrain so it's reasonable to use technicals, and also Russians also started applying Technicals to their army as far back as 2015 if i remember correctly from a video that i watched back in 2015, tho the video is no longer available so can't really cite. The source :/
In a world of one hit wonder ATGM... I have nothing against technicals. Is as good to ride in a pickup bed than in a BMP-1.
But in a world of artillery shrapnels... I would not bet my life on a up armored hylux.

They'll be treated with dignity and humanity?
Speaking of BMP-1s (or is it 2s?), there have been several seen on trains going from Russia to Ukraine. There may be the same pressures on IFVs as there has been on tanks. You don't bring out the old stuff if there's plenty of newer (re: T-64s)
With a surface big like the UK to keep watch, you need to arms your comrades behind the front doing the policing and maintaining supply lines. Upgraded old stuff is enough for that task.
Hard to run MRAPS when diesel is in short supply. Better off sending the diesel for tanks and gasoline for civilian trucks.
Ehhh, T-64s are even older than T-80s tho and this is T-80BV and older BMPs for reservists and volunteers, this is even better than the claimed of T-62Ms being deployed
Besides that, Missiles coming to Belgorod, possibly from the newly acquired HIMARS or M270, no confirmation as of late
It's strange how we hear about how professional NATO armies are yet at the first sign of danger 90% desert. It must suck real bad knowing that you've abandoned your former comrades to die. That sort of guilt will plague you for the rest of your life.
The American military today can only fight from 10,000 feet against goat herders. It's no wonder school shootings are so popular in America.
If it's true, it open the door for Kiev carpet bombing more or less, they could be used on something more relevant...
