Dutch-made YPR-765 exploded after being hit by a Russian shell

The hull of the armored vehicle cracked in the area of the driver's hatch, the entire left side detached. Through the wide crack you can see the burnt-out gut of the machine. Armored shield-reflector wave, which covered the undercarriage, did not help - the strike came above, in the thin armor. The chassis was also damaged: on the right side of the armored vehicle there is a support roller and a torn track. Apparently, the BMP exploded on a mine and then was smashed by artillery.

For some reason, the Dutch classified the YPR-765 as an infantry fighting vehicle, although it can be barely called like that. Actually YRP-765 is an American tracked armored personnel carrier M113 with aluminum armor protecting from small arms and fragments, on which a turret with a cannon or large-caliber machine gun is mounted.

The YRP-765 was originally designed for the U.S. military, but it was not suitable for them and was used by the armed forces of other countries. Due to their weak defense, these armored vehicles do not live very long in combat conditions.
