According to Defense Minister Rustem Umerov, dozens of these evacuation armored vehicles have already arrived in Ukraine, and several hundred more are expected in the near future.
Tracked vehicles have much higher maneuverability, so in off-road conditions this is what the army needs most.
Since the start of the large-scale Russian invasion, Ukraine has received hundreds of M113 tracked armored personnel carriers. These armored vehicles come from a number of countries around the world that provide military assistance to Ukraine. Various volunteer organizations also buy this equipment.
The M113 armored personnel carrier in various modifications is in service with various units of the Defense Forces and is directly involved in combat operations.
It became the most massive armored personnel carrier in history: 80,000 vehicles were produced during serial production. For a long time, the M113 remained the main armored personnel carrier of the American army.
The vehicle was also supplied in significant quantities to dozens of countries, and licensed production was established abroad in different versions. Since 2022 it has been in service with the Ukrainian defense forces.
