Incidents with military equipment continue in the Ukrainian army. Video footage taken recently in Kharkiv appeared on the Web. A small column of military equipment was moving along one of the city's highways, consisting of KrAZ-6446 three-axle tractors carrying light armored vehicles on trawls.

The driver of one of the all-terrain vehicles, on the trailer of which there was an infantry fighting vehicle BMP-1, for some reason suddenly braked. At that moment, another heavy tank truck with an armored MT-LB transporter with a small-caliber ZU-23-2 anti-aircraft gun crashed into his semi-trailer, almost without slowing down.
Judging by the released video, the force of the impact was palpable, since the "motoliga" almost fell off the platform by inertia and did not crash into the cab of the all-terrain vehicle with very sad consequences for the servicemen who were there. However, this did not happen. The driver of the KRAZ following, noticing something was wrong on the road, managed to stop.
The incident is reminiscent of an incident that happened in the Polish army in June 2021: then two tractors with trawls carrying T-72M1 also collided on the A6 highway near Szczecin. The equipment was returned to permanent bases after large-scale Dragon-21 maneuvers.
As a result, a strong fire occurred at the scene of the accident, destroying one of the cars and damaging the main battle tanks.
