Not Your Grandad's Ford: Ukrainians Run Gauntlet in Armored Truck
Published 2 weeks ago
This video shows Ukrainian soldiers taking small arms fire as they drive though the streets of Selydove, in Ukraine's Donestk Oblast. They're driving in a Kozak-5, which is a type of APC built on a Ford F-550 chassis with added armor and V-shaped hull. Ukraine had a fleet of 25 such trucks as of April, 2024. Out-of-frame, the gunner returns fire with an revolver-type MGL (Multiple Grenade Launcher). First introduced by South Africa in the 1980s, it's been adopted and locally produced by myriad countries. This particular weapon is likely a Croatian-made RGB-6.
