Pinzgauer is a family of highly mobile off-road 4WD (4x4) and 6WD (6x6), military and civil vehicles. They are produced by Austrian company Steyr-Daimler-Puch. These vehicles were privately delivered to Ukraine from the UK.
Pinzgauer Vector 718 can be used for transportation of personnel or medical needs. The vehicles have armor and can tow up to 5000 kg on the road, and up to 1800 kg off-the-road. Such all-terrain vehicles are used in Austria, Bolivia, Great Britain, Venezuela, Malaysia, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Oman, Pakistan, Serbia, Slovenia, Switzerland, and now Ukraine.
By the way, besides the Pinzgauer Vector 718 on this video you can also see the vehicle with PKM machine gun 7.62 × 54R.
