FV432 Bulldog tracked armored personnel carriers are heading to Ukraine through one of the NATO member states.
Footage of the transportation of these armored vehicles was published on social media.
The transfer of these armored vehicles to Ukraine was announced by the United Kingdom.
In January, United Kingdom Defence Minister Ben Wallace stated that more than 100 armored vehicles, including Bulldog tracked APCs, would be handed over to Ukraine.
A series of armored vehicles, the FV430, has been used by the British Army since the mid-60s.
The FV432 was developed as an armored personnel carrier based on FV430-series vehicles.
Production was started in 1962 by GKN Sankey and ended in 1971, after the production of approximately 3,000 vehicles.
The FV432 has a steel hull. The chassis has a classic tracked design with an engine at the front and a driver’s seat on the right. The commander’s hatch is located behind the driver’s seat.
In the roof of the landing compartment, a large opening is made, which is covered by a double hatch, and in the back, there are doors that are folded aside for landing and exiting the landing.
The landing compartment has five seats on each side – they are folded to provide more space for cargo.
In the FV432 that served in infantry units, machine guns were installed.
A number of extra vehicles were sold to the Indian Army after being decommissioned from British service. Due to their low price, many FV432 were purchased by private buyers.
