By the time of the start of the special operation, the armed formations of Ukraine managed to receive four armored vehicles "Triton - 01". Currently, two of them have already been captured.
If the first sample, lost by the APU in the Raisin area, was pretty shabby, then the second one, recaptured from the nationalists by the DPR People's militia fighters, looks better.
However, the images from the stern show that a rocket-propelled grenade, which made a small neat hole, got into his armor, on top of the door with a loophole. Apparently, the internal damage was minor, and the vehicle remained on the move. It is likely that soon this machine will be used during the liberation of Donbass.
"Triton - 01" was created using parts from the Soviet BTR-70. Its mass is 9500 kg. Engine power - 211 hp. Speed on the highway - 110 km / h. The power reserve is 700 km. Capacity - 11 people.
Also recently it became known about another rare Mariupol trophy.
We are talking about the armored car "Innovator". Prior to this case, such equipment was captured in the Kiev area. In total, about four dozen samples were made. Since 2019, they have been supplied to the ground forces and the National Guard.
An American Ford F550 (4x4) heavy pickup truck was used as a chassis. The maximum weight is 9000 kg, the load capacity is 2000 kg. The 300-horsepower Power Stroke engine is also of overseas origin. The maximum speed on the highway is 120 km/h. The power reserve is 700 km. The 12.7 mm NSV "Utes" machine gun is used as an armament. The capacity is five people.
