Reporter for the paratroopers of ukraines 80th air assault brigade, these u. S. Supplied stryker infantry vehicles have been lifesavers. Literally. Getting reinforcements into the fight or pulling them out of trouble in a hurry. You can see how bouncy it is inside these vehicles, but they are very effective, very fast at getting soldiers from one part of the battlefield to another, and providing protection. We are at a secret Training Base not far from the front lines in eastern ukraine, where the brigade is close enough to be rapidly deployed if necessary. Strykers have been the workhorse of the u. S. Military for years, now replacing dilapidated sovietera vehicles here. Agile, eightwheel drive, capable of covering rough terrain at up to 60 miles an hour. Armored personnel carriers are crucial for penetrating defenses and launching surprise assaults. And the men of the 80th air assault have themselves seen some of the most brutal fighting in and around the battle zones like bakhmut. Though, with Ukrainian Forces losing ground, outgunned and outnumbered, transporting troops sometimes means retreating under fire. This soldier, callsign titan, is a driver for his unit. Thanks to these vehicles, we have more advantages, he says. Its easier for us with them. More people survive. The men are grateful for the new strykers, but there is a sense, with dwindling supplies and dwindling western support, they face an uncertain future. Charlie dagata, cbs news, in eastern ukraine.
