Military personnel of the Air Force are also armed with “Husky” tactical support vehicles received from Great Britain, which are among the most modern vehicles that the Ukrainian military received from the West.

The video footage released by the ZSU was shared by the administrators of the Ukraine Weapons Tracker account, who noted that the machine is equipped with a 12.5-millimeter Browning M2 turret, and that the machines are known for their reliability and versatility.

Developed by the American company Navistar International and entered service with the British Armed Forces in 2009, the Husky transporters have a capacity of 10 soldiers in addition to the driver of the vehicle.

In total, the British Army purchased 351 Huskies with a range of approximately 640 kilometers.

The Ukrainian military has more and more armored personnel carriers

As recently as last Friday, Kyiv soldiers also began using VAB (Véhicule de l’Avant Blindé) armored personnel carriers, which have been involved in virtually every conflict France has been involved in over the past half century.

Entered into service in 1974, they have undergone several upgrades over the years, but France has pledged a significant number of VABs to Kyiv as it prepares to replace these carriers with more modern ones.

A video that appeared on social networks last month also shows that the Ukrainian military has also started using M113A3 armored personnel carriers.

With a carrying capacity of 11-13 troops depending on the model, about 80,000 M113A3 transport vehicles were built in the United States between 1961 and 2007, earning them the nickname “workhorse” of the US military.

Spain, in turn, announced last month that it would send armored personnel carriers to Ukraine, but their status is uncertain, given the fact that Madrid this week changed its mind about the delivery of Leopard tanks, which it announced at the same time as the armored vehicles.

The Spanish government justified its decision by the “completely unsatisfactory” condition of German-made tanks.
