The Ukrainian Army Could Form Three New Heavy Brigades With All These Tanks And Fighting Vehicles It
It’s GettingA deluge of new armored vehicles should allow the Ukrainian army to form three new, NATO-style heavy brigades. Arguably some of the most capable brigades in all of Europe.
One might be a full tank brigade—the first new tank brigade Kyiv apparently has managed to stand up in the 11 months since Russia widened its war on Ukraine.
The first of the Western-style brigades—the 47th Assault Brigade—already exists and is training around Kharkiv and in Germany while reequipping with 28 super-upgraded, ex-Slovenian M-55S tanks and up to 50 ex-American M-2 fighting vehicles.
A second new brigade could fall in on the hundreds of armored vehicles—including 14 Challenger 2 tanks—that the United Kingdom pledged to Ukraine over the weekend.
