Ukraine received at least 18 American International MaxxPro armored vehicles
We have repeatedly written that the U.S. handed over MaxxPro armored vehicles to Ukraine. Now a video of a convoy of such vehicles has been published on the Internet. The video shows 18 vehicles, but it is possible that there are many more in Ukraine.
#Ukraine: Just a few International M1224 MaxxPro MRAPs, donated by the United States, on the move somewhere in UA.

Reminder, the International MaxxPro is a U.S. armored vehicle that is manufactured by Navistar International. It was adopted by the U.S. in 2007 for the urgent rearmament of troops in Iraq.
MaxxPro is a replacement for the HMMWV. The vehicle was designed to defend against mines and ambushes. The International MaxxPro's protection meets the criteria of the U.S. Marine Corps MRAP program and the U.S. Army's Medium Mine Protected Vehicle (MMPV) standards. MaxxPro is available in 7 versions.
