We would remind you that Ukraine received more than 20 Bushmaster armored vehicles. The first batch arrived to us in April. The Bushmaster is manufactured by Thales Australia. The vehicle can carry up to 9 soldiers. It has STANAG4569 protection. That is, the truck is not afraid of mines and small arms.
