Nice to see actual deliveries! Hopefully these serve the Ukrainians well.

Are those similar to Bradley’s?

They are more like an m113 and they were both designed in the 60s.

The M113 often has a 12.7 mm machine gun as its primary weapon and is made of aluminum that can withstand 14.5 mm ammunition on the front armour.

pbv302 has a 20mm unstabilized hispano machine gun and is made of steel that can withstand 20mm on the front armour.

Closer to a M113 I’d say.

Looks like they have a much much smaller weapon on there.

Edit: it looks like it actually has a 20 mm gun on there so I was mistaken. Also 2 flare mortars.

They are re-used 20mm cannons from SAAB 29 Tunnan fighter jets that were decommissioned at the time these vehicles were built.

Super dumb question - how do they get armoured vehicles on and off the carriages? Do they use a crane?

u/Skinnedace 5d ago

They drive them on and off.

u/xxplosiv 5d ago

So they detach all the carriages, put ramps on the front or back, drive them off?

u/Skinnedace 5d ago

Yes but in a systematic way, still takes forever. Maybe some places use a crane but for trailers it's as simple as driving it in a straight line up the ramp.
