I don't recall ever seeing M113s towing anything anywhere.Does Soviet artillery have compatible trailer hitches for M-113s?
Yeah, I think that would block the rear access door. When I think of M113 and tow, I think of this....I don't recall ever seeing M113s towing anything anywhere.
According to Wikipedia, Chornobaivka was hit 20 times by May 15, so yeah its possible it has been hit for the 22nd time in late may.I read the article and also one about a Russian ammo dump being hit, for the 22nd time. Any corroboration on that?
Lot to be said for good old trucksSo now I'm wondering with what the UAF will move all the towed artillery. Is there enough vehicular capacity to move substantial numbers of howitzers? I'm sure the railroads can only take it just so far.
Nah, their too busy towing other thingsI was really hoping someone would've posted "tractors".
Quite a lot of them in Vietnam towing L5 Howitzers - fuel tanks and e.g. KW45 generators also in Germany in the 60'ies till 80's on the way to maneuvers areas.I don't recall ever seeing M113s towing anything anywhere.
Calling an M113 an ARMORED Personnel Carrier is a bit of a stretch. At GE we were sent a couple VADS (Vulcan Air Defense Systems) that had been in Vietnam. The M113 chassis they were installed in had .50 cal and 12.7 MM holes right through the "armor" on one side, through the VADS magazine, and then out the other side. Side to side, and front to back, the rounds just went right through.M-113 may not be a first class combat vehicle but it's a tracked truck and there's a lot of them.
According to here:
A total of 99 M113s have been donated though as to how many are actually in theatre yet I don't know.
