Military analysts @UAWeapons published a video of an unusual MT-LBVM armored personnel carrier in the hands of the AFU.
The thing is that it was a trophy truck. The AFU upgraded it by installing a Soviet 23mm ZU-23-2 anti-aircraft gun. It consists of two twin air cannons, a machine gun and a ZAP-23 sight. This unit can fire up to 2,000 rounds per minute.
By the way, this is not the first self-made machine gun based on the MT-LB. Recently a video appeared on the web how the Ukrainian armed forces installed a 100 mm MT-12 "Rapira" cannon on the armored personnel carrier.
