The Ukrainian Armed Forces have started using modern US Oshkosh M-ATV MPAR class vehicles.

Here's What We Know

Telegram channel NMFTE published a video of a large convoy of such vehicles. The vehicles were moving around Ukraine. About 20 Oshkosh M-ATVs can be counted in the video. Interestingly, the US has not officially announced the transfer of them to Ukraine. Therefore, it is not known how many of these vehicles are in service with the AFU.

Flashback

Oshkosh M-ATV is a Mine Resistant Ambush Protected All-Terrain Vehicle (M-ATV). It was developed by the Oshkosh Corporation under a U.S. Department of Defense program to replace the M1114 HMMWV. The vehicle was developed based on experience from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. The vehicle has 4×4 wheel configuration, mine protection, and a turret for a 7.62 mm light machine gun, 40 mm grenade launcher, or 12.7 mm heavy machine gun, the Browning M2.
