The Ukrainian Defense Forces have received dozens of M113 Armored Medical Evacuation Vehicles as part of military aid.

The press service of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine reported on this.

It is reported that Ukraine will soon receive several hundred more of these ambulances.

“We are transferring armored vehicles for evacuating the wounded to combat units right now. My deputy Natalia Kalmykova is coordinating this work and the project in general. I am grateful to our partners for their support in the war,” said Defense Minister Rustem Umierov.

Militarnyi previously reported that Spain is preparing to transfer a new batch of M113 armored personnel carriers for the needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

The Spanish Minister of Defense said that two armored vehicles were converted into ambulances, and the rest will be used for their intended purpose.

At the end of January 2024, it was reported that in February, М577 Command Post Vehicles would arrive in Ukraine from Lithuania.

M113 armored personnel carriers

After the start of the large-scale Russian invasion, Ukraine received hundreds of M113 tracked armored personnel carriers.

These armored vehicles come from different countries that provide military assistance to Ukraine. In addition, Ukraine buys these vehicles by itself.

M113 APCs, in various modifications, are in service with various units of the Ukrainian Defense Forces and are directly engaged in hostilities.

The M113 became the most massive APC in history: 80,000 vehicles were produced during mass production. For a long time, the M113 remained the main armored personnel carrier of the U.S. army.

The vehicle was delivered to dozens of countries in significant quantities. It was also licensed for production abroad in various versions. Since 2022, it has been in service with the Ukrainian Defense Forces.
