The MT-LBU and BMP-1 are versatile vehicles that will significantly strengthen Territorial Defense Forces brigades performing tasks in the hotspots of the frontline.

The MT-LB tracked vehicles can be used as an ambulance or modernized for fire support. BMP-1 is an infantry fighting vehicle with a powerful 73-mm gun. The first vehicles have already passed factory tests after repair and are ready to perform combat missions on the front line.
