The Ukrainian Armed Forces already use M113AS4 armored personnel carriers at the front, which were sent to Ukraine by Australia
In June, we wrote that Australia was going to transfer M113AS4 armored personnel carriers to the AFU. It seems that they are already working at the front.
Here's What We Know
Military analysts @UAWeapons published a video of APCs in the hands of the AFU. In total there should be 28 such vehicles in Ukraine.

In case you did not know, the M113AS4 is the Australian-made version of the M113A1 Armored Personnel Carrier which was originally introduced in 2007. It boasts reinforced armor, new power packs, and improved armament.
By the way, except Australian M113AS4, the video also shows Danish armored M113G4DK or M113G3DK.
