The Battle of Bakhmut: Ukraine's BTR-4s Inflict Heavy Losses on Russian Forces.

Ukrainian BTR-4 wheeled fighting vehicles, operated by both the army and national guard, have been effective in the battle for Bakhmut due to their speed and firepower. However, they have also suffered heavy losses from Russian attacks, with at least 77 destroyed or captured since February 2021. The BTR-4's lack of armor protection makes it vulnerable, but it can be effective with close infantry support. Despite the losses, the surviving BTR-4s continue to fight in Bakhmut.
