PARIS - The imminent arrival in Ukraine of Western-made light tanks and armoured vehicles, as well as possibly heavy tanks, means Kyiv will need to quickly train up troops to use and maintain the sometimes complex equipment, analysts say.
Near the battleground city of Bakhmut in eastern Ukraine, Ukrainian Captain Volodymyr Tchaikovsky said Nato tanks had “a huge advantage” for any soldier inside. A French source said Paris could dispatch around 40 of the highly mobile AMX-10 RCs, which are wheeled rather than tracked, but have a much heavier cannon typical of a tank.
“Soviet tanks are very crude. There are fewer electronics on board,” said a French officer, who asked not to be named. Mr Leo Peria-Peigne, a weaponry expert at French think tank IFRI, said Ukraine had “a considerable pool of labour” and the structures in place to “assimilate all this diverse equipment”.
French-German defence industry firm KNDS, for example, in November opened a maintenance hub in Slovakia to repair military gear such as the Caesar howitzer artillery, Gepard anti-aircraft and Mars II multiple launch rocket systems sent to the battlefront.
