You are right. He just does not know much about tanks.

Problem is they are very easy pray for enemy IFV - its now a numbers game - will Russians destroy all these vehicles used in front line faster than west can deliver. Certainly better than a pickup but there is a reason why US army is getting rid of them.

Certainly better than nothing but no match for an IFV. Take basic BMP-2 - it has better mobility in rough terrain, far better weapon system with far better sensors and better armor. When Ukraine failed in their Kherson offensive - and especially now in Donbass what we are seeing is that the composition of UA forces is mostly wheeled now with maybe 20-30% Soviet stuff. Rest is things such this truck, some M113 etc. These are very light duty vehicles not meant for front line combat - and it is showing. As time progresses I expect Ukraine army to resemble light infantry & when faced with heavily armed Russians they will suffer massive casualties.

Well, but they do not have anything else - some M113s and some other light duty stuff. Yeah it gets creamed.
