The first Marder 1A3 Infantry Fighting Vehicle Destroyed. Just to pre-empt anyone, it looks like another NATO Wonderwaffen was lost. Basically a more well armored Mercedes-Benz. Should've purchased BTR-60's from the Bulgarian scrapyards instead. Though as an interesting note, AFAIK this is the first combat loss of a Marder IFV which first entered service in 1971. Some were damaged in Afghanistan but none destroyed. They were also deployed to Kosovo

Members of Parliament from GERB-UDF, We Continue the Change-Democratic Bulgaria and the Movement for Rights and Freedoms have tabled a draft decision to give unserviceable S-300 anti-aircraft missi…

Announced by Zelensky a while ago, but an assumed ten of the thirty one M1A1 Abrams Main Battle Tanks are arriving in Ukraine.
It's pretty clear that NATO has analyzed the situation and decided that the M1A1 Abrams tank is so far superior to whatever Russia has fielded, that they only need less then a third of the thirty one tanks they originally delivered. These wonderwaffen will undoubtedly complete the breakthrough in Zaporizhzhia, driving unharmed through minefields with their IED resistant tested and proven designs while eliminating Russian armor at ranges of two or even three kilometers away (more with indirect fire) while Lancets and Krasnopol rounds bounce off of its Chobham armor. IT IS INVULNERABLE WONDERWAFFEN AND WILL NOT BE LOST to inferior Ruzzian armaments.
