The fighters of the 37th Brigade of the Armed Forces called the French AMX-10RC "sniper rifle"-the media

The French armored car has a comfortable and accurate F2 gun, which is capable of conducting a long distance fire. In addition, the AMX-10RC is equipped with a fire control system, which allows you to fire on moving objects in any position of the tower. During the offensive actions in the area of ​​the Great Novosilka in the south of Donetsk region, the fighters 37 of the Navy of the Navy of Ukraine used the AMX-10RC guns.

As a result of the fighting, Ukrainian defenders called French machines that played a decisive role in successful promotion - "sniper rifle", according to the Army Recognition Viewers. The publication states that the 37th brigade led the initial storm of the fortified city, breaking through Russian defense and laying the way south along the Mokra River Yalas in other Ukrainian units.

"Ukrainian soldiers compare the French AMX-10RC/RCR with the" sniper rifle "against Russian tanks, noting its speed opportunities on the battlefield and the accuracy of fire with 105 mm of the main gun," the observers write. Although the car is not intended for breakthrough of hostile fortifications, Ukrainian fighters seem to be able to use its strengths - high mobility and comfortable accurate weapons.

At the same time, the observers noted that they will still have to find out how the deployment of these machines will determine the course of hostilities in this war, but the effective use of AMX-10RC opportunities has already demonstrated the fighters of defense forces. Probably, the Armed Forces fighters compared a light French gun with a sniper rifle through the main 105mm F2 gun. It is a versatile gun that is able to fire various ammunition.

In this case, the F2 firing range depends on the type of projectiles used. When shooting with standard fugas shells or anti-tank hamter shells (High Explosive Anti-Tank), the gun usually has a maximum firing range up to 2 500 meters. However, when shooting APFSDS (ARMOR PIERCING FIN Stabilized Discarding Sabot), specially designed for punching armored targets, an effective weapon shooting range can reach approximately 3000 meters.

AMX-10RCR also has a modernized fire control system (SKV) M401 Potatoes with a laser rangefighter APX M550, which can operate at a range up to 10,000 meters, up to 5 meters. SCV allows you to more accurately bring weapons to the target and fire on objects moving in any position of the tower, increasing the overall efficiency of the machine in combat conditions.

This striking range, combined with the upgraded fire control system, allows AMX-10RCR to strike accurate strokes at great distances, providing a significant tactical advantage on the battlefield, summarized the observers. We will remind, according to the Institute of Study of the War of June 15, Ukrainian troops are moving in the Zaporozhye direction south of Orikhiv.
