The Azov One NGO, with the support of the Prytula Foundation, has transferred a batch of armored vehicles to the 12th “Azov” Special Forces Brigade.

Serhiy Prytula reported on this.

The donors transferred 15 FV432 armored personnel carriers and 2 FV434 armored repair and recovery vehicles worth UAH 77 million to the soldiers.

The funds were raised by the rear service and fundraising department of the Azov One. With the support of Prytula Foundation’s specialists, they were purchased and brought from the UK to Ukraine.

“Azov One” turned to us for help because we have expertise in purchasing armored vehicles. Together with volunteers, we found the necessary equipment in warehouses in the UK, obtained an export license, and brought it to Ukraine,” Prytula said.

FV432

The FV432 is a tracked armored personnel carrier developed in the 1960s for the British Army.

The vehicle is lightly armored, with a circumferential hull thickness of 13 mm, which should provide protection against shrapnel and small arms. The maximum speed reaches 60 km/h.

The vehicle’s crew consists of three people. The landing compartment has five seats on both sides and can accommodate ten soldiers.

The vehicle is armed with a machine gun that can be operated from inside the vehicle or from an open hatch.

The FV432 is a member of the FV430 family of vehicles and is equipped to evacuate and field-repair armored vehicles.

For this purpose, the vehicle is equipped with a crane with a lifting capacity of up to 3 tons for replacing damaged armored vehicle components and a folding mechanic’s workstation.

Prytula’s Foundation noted that their organization had brought 164 units of wheeled and tracked armored vehicles to Ukraine and handed them over. In particular, last month, the foundation prepared a batch of FV432 for the 114th Brigade of the Territorial Defense Forces.
