'If the Australians were around, I would hug them': Ukraine's soldiers thrilled with Bushmaster performance on battlefield

As Ukrainian forces continue their push in and around Bakhmut, soldiers returned from the frontline say the Australian-built armoured personnel carrier is helping keep them alive.

Should we send some more?

Or is this just feel good propoganda?

Honestly, the truth is probably both. This is definitely feel good propoganda but the bushmaster is very good at what it does so I'm sure it has saved more than it's fair share of lives. Sending more though is probably a matter of manufacturing capability.

Totally agree but I don't think it matters. As long as it saves Ukrainian lives I'm okay with it.

Despite absolutely decimating our car industry, it seems like we've still got it with making half decent vehicles.
