The Ukrainian Armed Forces use a unique Otaman armoured personnel carrier, the only one in existence

The Ukrainian Defence Forces have a very unusual armoured vehicle in service. It is called Otaman.

Here's What We Know

The armoured vehicle was developed by the state enterprise Zhytomyr Armoured Vehicle Plant in 2015. The key feature of the armoured vehicle is the system of quick installation of Ovod armoured modules. Their installation takes 35-40 minutes.

The Ukrainian combat vehicle is based on a GAZ-66 chassis. The engine is located in the front along with the control compartment. There is a stern and middle part of the vehicle to accommodate troops.

The crew consists of two persons. The hull of the armoured personnel carrier is made of steel armour plates. The Otaman is also distinguished by the fact that it is a single copy.
