NATO-Trained Ukrainian Unit Loses 9 Of 10 U.S.-Made Maxxpros; Mine Resistant Vehicles Doomed

The U.S.-made armoured vehicles that Kyiv touted as "indestructible" have been destroyed. Mine-resistant "mighty" Maxxpro vehicles have been bombed in Russian attacks. A Ukrainian battalion, trained in the West and equipped for the offensive, has lost nine out of 10 available U.S.-made Maxxpro armoured vehicles. The Western-trained Ukrainian battalion has also lost most of its troops. Only 10 members of the unit are reportedly remaining at the forefront. In June, when the offensive started, Kyiv dubbed Maxxpro a gamechanger. "Maxxpro affects the Russians as red affects a bull," said the Ukrainian Army.
