At Krynky, Ukrainian marines have held on for months, despite being outgunned and outnumbered. And it appears that one vehicle in particular has played a crucial role in maintaining the bridgehead.

When I was doing my conscript service in the Finnish Army, we used the Hägglunds Bv 206 extensively. This type of vehicle can get basically anywhere, and I can imagine it can sometimes be the only way to provide any kind of mechanized mobility in difficult terrain. The downside is almost complete lack of armour, basically the survivability relies on not getting into firefights at all. The Bv 206 front cabin has seats for the driver, co-driver (commander), gunner, and four additional seats, so a total of seven people in the front cabin. The rear module may technically be classified for eleven troops, buuuut in practice we regularly carried more than that out of necessity. You can fit more in there with relative ease, although the speed of embarking and disembarking becomes correspondingly slower. And the vehicle's flotation capacity may suffer - although we did not operate these vehicles in water, they would have needed to be prepared for crossings and that kind of thing was probably considered an unnecessary hazard, considering what happened in 1991 during a water crossing exercise (a BTR-60 sank as a result of improper loading and incorrect operation of the vehicle, drowning seven conscripts).

I'm proud to be a trained driver for the BV206. I never came upon any terrain that stopped it. Amazing vehicle!

The Swedish "bandvagn" (tracked vehicle) are incredibly good in difficult terrain. But they are not invincible, they can get stuck so you still have to use your head when driving them. If it is steep and slippery for instance, then they might get stuck. And you can flipp it over sideways if you are careless.

I started my military career on foot. As a conscript. But as my first employment back in "early" 2000 i was a light infantry pointman/saw gunner and we used the "BV206S"/309 And the TGB16. Fantastic.. The BV really prove it self. If you need to train in getting stuck and recover it they really had to make a effort to get it stuck :D Few years later i moved to armored regiment with the CV90 and as a "Carl Gustav"/GRG gunner, and few years after that i went back to the "school bench" to be crew in the CV90. After all those years of training and "playing war" i get this feeling of "satisfaction"... Dont get me wrong. But to see these vehicles being used on the front line is a feeling of beeing proud and worried at the same time. It feels like they are a friend, at the same time you are happy that they finnally have a chance of proving them self in combat. I probably never will, my self. But this is good enough.

@FairladyS130 4 месяца назад

The Swedes took careful notice of German WWII practice and adapted it for their own purposes resulting in them producing suitable vehicles. Their vehicles today are still applicable to modern Ukraine style warfare, better than the rest of NATO.

@@mumu8727 What's your alternative then, a bare battlefield with only drones, other aircraft, missiles and artillery? That may be possible in theory but the amount of ordinance required to clear all opposition and then march in and take possession defies belief.

@thunder2434 4 месяца назад

@@mumu8727 Calling it trash like that I expect you're a pro russian troll. russian tanks are being torn apart by Ukranian drones, Switchblades and all manner of such weapons. It's Ukraine, not russia that has the upper hand in Drone warfare. So muchvso it almost offset the dried up artillery shells and missiles promised by the west. russia just has more of everything but also uses it like morons just piling on masses of it without proper strategy and shooting up their soviet stockpiles hoping they'll win before it runs out. By your metric all russian vehicles are cheap trash then. They can't survive a home-built drone and has to have EW emitters placed on them and turtle shell armor (which, to no surprise, it turns out hampers what a tank needs to do to be fighting effectively when it reaches combat range). What are soldiers going to do then? Back to footsoldiers not using vehicles at all? All Ukraine nedds then are a lot of machineguns. Wait, they have that... However, consider this. A cheap EW emitter added to a vehicle will stop a lancet drone as well as any other drone. Those emitters aren't tech russia has exclusively, rather it's chinese open market tech anyone can cobble together. Eventually Ukraine will have it on every vehicle. Lancet is then cheap trash.

@Asko83 4 месяца назад

Bandvagn should be compared to trucks, not to armoured vehicles. And the added mobility from these things (the only limitations appear to be driver's skill and bravery, based on the ones I have been a passenger in) gives them a valuable niche.

BV202 and 203 are insanely quiet, I know from being certified driver and drove them in the arctic.

@svensvensson8102 4 месяца назад

They are all pretty quiet but the 308 is the quietest that I've experienced personally. It makes this cozy whisteling sound and you can barely hear it just a few meters from the vehicle, especially in snow. You don't hear much about it, but I assume it's the real predecessor of the BvS10. They were brand new back in my days in the early 90s as far as I remember, diesel, armoured.

@hansericsson7058 4 месяца назад

@magnuslauglo5356 4 месяца назад

I rode in Norwegian 206s in the late '90s. Excellent all terrain mobility obviously and very capable in deep snow and marshland. I remember on one international execise that the Royal Marines were putting them to great use as TOW carrier/launchers and being a real menace to better armored IFVs with autocannon (which didn't have the range of the TOW). They're great for shoot and shoot tactics, and of course you can put whatever you like in the back. They aren't the best armored mortar carrier out there, but they're surely one of the most capable platforms for moving mortars quickly onto higher ground. Let's not exaggerate their abilities and just how dangerous or unstoppable they are, they have light armor or no armor and don't offer much protection. But it is remarkable and satisfying that these Cold War era workhorses are still proving themselves tremendously useful on the modern battlefield.

@MrCemicalX 4 месяца назад

To add to the platforms terrain flexibility, the austrian army for example also incooperates it for its mountaineers and light infantry in the alps. So mountain clearence, checks out as well.

Ukraine is also using narco subs. I spotted one on Russian video back in January. The optical sensor pod popping up out of the water, rotating, and then moving away from the Russian boat cross stream. I later saw a second one. I’ve kept quiet, but since Ukraine has announced they have small subs in service now…

@znail4675 4 месяца назад

Could be that Ukraine have got some Swedish Seal Carriers or similar as I can imagine those to be quite useful for Ukraine. Those are essentially submersible speedboats that require scuba gear to ride, but they do have such sensors mentioned and unlike narco subs so do they fully submerge.
