Canadian-made LAV 6 Armoured Combat Support Vehicles (ACSVs) have been finally spotted in the Russian special military operation zone in Ukraine.
On December 31, a video showing a ACSV moving near an unspecified front in Ukraine surfaced online. The vehicle was of the unarmed Troops/Cargo Vehicle (TCV) version.
The ACSV, which was developed by the Canadian branch of General Dynamics Land Systems, is powered by a Caterpillar C9 Turbo-charged six-cylinder Diesel with 450 hp. The vehicle has a maximum operational range of 600 kilometers and a top speed of 40 kilometers per hour off road and up to 100 kilometers per hour on road.
The armoured vehicle, which weights around 28 tons, can carry up to seven troops with their weapons and equipment in addition to its crew of three.
Last June 2022, the Canadian Government announced that it would be diverting 39 ACSVs to Ukraine as military aid from the order of 360 vehicles it had previously made for the Canadian military. The vehicles were reportedly delivered in September.
Canada has been one of the main military backers of Ukraine. The country supplied Kiev forces with large quantities of weapons after the start of the Russian special military operation, including a NASAMS medium-range air defense system, several M777 towed 155 mm howitzers with hundreds of M982 Excalibur guided shells and several dozen Wescam MX-15Ds optical targeting systems for use on Turkish-made Bayraktar TB2 combat drones.
In addition to material aid, the Canadian military continues to provide combat training to thousands of Ukrainian service members.
Over the last few months, Ukraine received hundreds of Western-made armoured vehicles of different types from its backers. These vehicles made up for some of Kiev forces’ heavy material losses. However, they failed to shift the balance of power on the battlefield.

Pure junk!
If it isn’t now thats how it will end up
It’s akin to an Armored School Bus. LOL
Canada has a long history of third-rate efforts to break Russia on behalf of the Empire, My great uncle was sent as part of the Canadian force that attempted to colonize part of Russia during the Civil War. There is a great video of Republicans at Debaltsevo thanking the Canadian people for the equipment captured from the Ukrainian ATO forces in 2015. A nation of self-righteous monkeys without the foggiest notion of their real place in the world.
Canada welcomed Banderites with open arms after WWII and their grandchildren are firmly embedded in the federal cabinet, media and other places of influence. Still carrying on the same demented genocidal agenda.
lol the captured “roll over vehicles” , 8 in one day, brand spanking new.donated by ukraine armed forces by proxy for canada to DPR. first time they rode them into battle, only abandoned once…..
So we won. WTF, not yet?
We lost. Russians took Soledar. Now they are coming to Bakhmut.
Sorry about your luck. Glory to surrender!
Be patient, Russian forces will be coming for you soon.
While these armoured vehicles will definitely be better in winter operations than the M113s, they have a design flaw that leads to easy rollovers during maneuvers on uneven ground and during high speed tactical combat maneuvers, which becomes an even greater risk when the unit is equiped with any kind of armed turret on top. While they might make a good field ambulance replacement, they will be very easy to spot and destroy on the field because they have way to high of a profile. The armour is light and can be defeated with RPGs or heavy caliber machine guns targetting just below the storage bin mounts on the sides. Basically, against Russian capabilities, they are basically going to be coffins with wheels and a crappy radio.
Saw a video on independent Western media yesterday about the US Bradley tank and how it’s failed basic road testing over the years from the 1980s it has serious issues when going through water or trying to cross areas of even 18 inches of water and had to be withdrawn from various tests the machine was unable to operate properly
Yup. The wider, lower profile of the Russian BMPs are much more stable and with the ‘pop up’ ATGM launcher it is tactically superior. ATGMs are very hard to detect for counter battery measures if the line of fire remains low to the ground. If the crew avoids using comms, and avoids firing any kind of gun, ECM towers and listening posts(the other two common methods for counter battery return fire)are useless to detect them as well. Once these platforms are integrated with drone targetting and automatic fire control robotics, BMPs with mortars will become a very effect trench assault force as well, likely even more effect than a tank, which is still the clutch weapon system when fighting in urban zones against fortified units inside buildings.
Anything green that makes noise leaves ruts and has a heat signature can be detected targeted and destroyed truck armor wheeled armor gun system whatever. Eyes in the sky with computerized target detection and engagement. Even people.
the Americunts only build expensive crap.
Sorry to say but rollovers are the least problem ukrops are facing right now.
lol prob the main reason they were free…
Canada and Greece are bigger supporters of ukraine
The majority of the Greeks have no problems with Russia. It’s the small political leeches in Athen (bought and sold by the EU) who are these ‘supporters’. But even there, the climate is slowly changing
Of the regime Maybe, but the people of Ukraine will be paying the price in lives and wellbeing for this so called ‘support’.
They’re not supporting Ukraine they are supporting Murica who are Killing Ukrainians as fast as they can.
Russia has a long memory and when it hits the fan countries like Canada will be remembered for supplying and prolonging this conflict with weapons of war to a fascist junta being sent to murder Russian civilians in the LPR and DPR …..
There are plenty of us Canadians that have no use for our government or their ridiculous involvement in this conflict.
Me for sure!
Canada has presented a phoney image both abroad and to the population at home as some kind of enlightened benevolent force. It’s a massive lie. Canadian soldiers were crucial in the overthrow of both Lumumba and Nkrume, the two most significant coups in post-colonial Africa until the US took down Libya. Canada was used as a petri dish to cultivate Ukretardism post-WW2, where the formerly civilized Ukrainian population was turned full John Bircher by Five Eyes intelligence. Canada as a state is a two-faced hatchet man for the Americans, as seen in Africa, Haiti, and Yugoslavia. Oddly enough, the human element that used to exist in the Canadian Forces complained relentlessly about the US criminal program in Yugoslavia, in which they were literally teamed up with Osama bin Laden to supply jihadis and weapons to Bosnian criminals, the same system used in Kosovo five years later. https://www.rcinet.ca/en/2019/10/03/footage-canadian-lav-yemen-saudi-arabia-arms/
Yes. Canada is part of the Anglo genocidal empire.
Remember, Canada killed millions of Native Americans. And who could forget that Canadian Clayton Matchee who tortured that child to death via anal sodomy with a stick while his superiors stood by.
Canadians are a false image.
As a Canadian, I spit on whoever sent these to Ukraine. And I piss on their grave.
You mean that Trudeau POS!
Add Chrystia Freehand those grandfather was a Nazi collaborator and she is also part of World Economic Forum.
Are these the same crap that the Afghans loved to trash with IEDs?
useless crap, only for suppressing the innocent
Since the west thought they had won the world forever and will never have a real adversary ever again in 1990 what do you think any weapon in the west since then was developed then to supress other countries. The entire Stryker and Light armor concepts, the F 35, the Zumwalt all just made for revenue to the stock holders of the arms industrie (quite some congress members among them).
This. The mindset was, “we’ll only have to bomb some people in the desert and perhaps the jungle from time to time to keep their raw materials flowing to us”.
But what does need to change is the mindset of the non-Anglo: the Slav, the Indian, the Arab, the Black and African, and Chinese, the Asians. They should ALL be working together for mutual survival. Obviously that won’t happen because they are obsessed with white skin and think they are racially superior which is stupid considering that the world and life is at stake.
Russian warplanes and artillery troops smashed Ukrainian army’s 14th and 92nd mechanized brigades in the Kupyansk direction, neutralizing up to 50 Ukrainian troops during the past day
They got some more Pick up trucks too! The prize salvage of the working soldier.
Christina Alexandra Freeland is a Canadian politician serving as the tenth and current deputy prime minister of Canada since 2019.
She is the literal Ukrainian Nazi sending arms to Ukronaziland her soon to be annihilated state if the Wagner Group has any say in this. It seems the Regular Russian Army is sandbagging Putin and their own country or are ineffective.
You’re right she is a Nazi, started with her grandfather who was the head propagandist Nazi in Ukraine during WW2. Also Canada has a law that outlaws any one fighting in a foreign war but they let Canadians participate in the proxy on behalf of Ukraine. But openly said any one who goes and fights for Russia will be persecuted.
There’s a lot of Canadians who are not brainwashed by there tyrannical elites though and do not support Nazi regimes. But out east and the west coast is about as brainwashed as they come, not all but most.
Canadians are free to fight for the US, Israel and the failed Ukrainian CIA project.
450 hp ar 28t!? I saw an BMW SUV with 700hp today.
I had a FH12 Volvo horsebox with a 450 hp engine.
Idiots. It is a diesel and it is not a pimpmobile with useless peak numbers at 20K RPM. Look at torque.
THas some cock ya got there!
Dosť podozrivé. Boli vyrobené pre Kanadu a teraz zrazu idú na Ukrajinu? Hm … niečo mi tu nesedí. Zrejme asi nie sú až tak dobré, ako si o nich pôvodne mysleli. Tak sa ich teraz idú rýchlo zbaviť. Pre seba vyrobia dodatočné iné, ale už modifikované.
More meatwagons for Ukrops.
Glory to self-propelled coffins!
Hahahahahaha this made me laugh
This vehicle has a weak spot I would say. A nice Lancet right on its roof.
weak point is a lancet loitering munition on its roof.
