The long promised armored personnel carriers finally appear in Ukraine.
425th Assault Battalion Skala of Ukrainian Ground Forces received M1117 armored personnel vehicles. The official social media accounts of the battalion today published a video showing the personnel of the unit during a military exercise utilizing US-donated M1117 vehicles.
United Stated promised to supply M1117 armored personnel carriers to Ukraine back in 2022, but no information appeared since then. This is the first visual confirmation of M1117 in the service of Ukrainian Army.
Thanks to our Discord server user alblyat for the heads up!

Well, riding on the side doesn’t just expose them to fire and explosions but also must be tiring. Hope it’s only used for a short distance or as a last resort during evacuation.
