Canada is going to transfer a new batch of LAV II ACSV Super Bison armoured personnel carriers to the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Here's What We Know

The information was shared by CBC, referring to the statement of Canadian Defence Minister Bill Blair. We are talking about a batch of 50 vehicles worth $650 million. Their delivery was announced last year.

The first 10 APCs will be sent to Ukraine this summer. First, the vehicles will arrive in Germany, where the Ukrainian military will undergo a training programme, and then by autumn the vehicles will be sent to the front.
