This was reported in the story "A RUSSIAN SU-25 WAS SHOT DOWN, A STUFF TREAKS THE ARMOR, ATTACK ON THE OIL FILLING STATION: Stream from a Frontline City" by host Junior Lieutenant Serhii Lipko.

The video shows that the armored personnel carrier of the 56th Separate 'Mariupol' Infantry Brigade was manufactured in 2023. Just recently, we wrote that the soldiers of the 56th Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine had been practicing combat operations and maneuvers using their BTR-4E armored personnel carriers. "The most important thing is that the production of Ukrainian BTR-4 Bucephalus is still going on," said Lipko in the story.

The domestic armored personnel carrier was developed in the mid-2000s and has been in service with the Ukrainian Defense Forces since 2014. "This vehicle we were driving and shooting on today was made in 2023," he added. The vehicle's standard armament is the BM-7 Parus combat module, which is equipped with a 30-mm automatic cannon, a 30-mm automatic grenade launcher and a 7.62-mm machine gun.

This set allows the vehicle to effectively engage targets on the battlefield and continue fighting in the event of any emergency situation with the gun.

The armor of the combat vehicle can hold a fire of 12.7mm in a circle and 14.5mm rounds in the frontal projection. To counteract HEAT ammunition, the armored personnel carrier is equipped with slat armor that can be installed or removed depending on the task.
