🔒 Ukraine’s Super-Upgraded M-55S Tanks Have Equipped A New Kind Of Brigade

TL;DR

We finally know which Ukrainian army unit took ownership of those super-upgraded, but very old, M-55S tanks that Slovenia donated to Ukraine.Slovenian prime minister Robert Golob in a telephone conversation with German chancellor Olaf Scholz in September hammered out a deal whereby Germany would give Slovenia 40 military trucks—and Slovenia in turn would supply 28 M-55Ss to Ukraine.The news finally broke on Saturday, when Markus shared photos with the M-55Ss in the background.It’s an entirely volunteer formation—no conscripts—and it is, for lack of a better term, more Western than sister brigades are.Markus, a famously-mustachioed veteran of the fighting in eastern Ukraine’s Donbas region in 2014 and 2015 who wrote a popular book about his wartime experience, helped to recruit volunteers for the 47th and also serves as its sergeant major."
