In the Kherson region, an Israeli GAIA Amir armored car, quite rare for the Ukrainian army, was noticed.
There are no comments on the appearance of an armored car in the Kherson region. It is clear that he is in service with one of the units of the Ukrainian ground forces.
Note that the Amir armored car is manufactured by the Israeli defense company GAIA Automotive Industries. It was first presented at the EUROSATORY 2018 exhibition. That is, the version of the car is modern. The car is armored, the crew is protected - it can withstand an explosion on a mine. The Amir can carry 12 fighters and up to three tons of cargo.

Armored vehicles of this type are used for patrolling, personnel transfer, cargo delivery to the front line, evacuation of the wounded. Apparently, on the territory of the Kherson region, the Amir can be used as a patrol armored vehicle, or for the transfer of small units with the size of an infantry squad.
It is possible that Ukraine could receive Israeli-made military equipment through third countries. For example, it could be supplied by Eastern European countries that had previously purchased similar armored vehicles from Israel. However, back in September, a number of media outlets flashed information that Israel had secretly delivered a batch of armored vehicles to Ukraine, but there was no official confirmation. The Israeli authorities have repeatedly stated that they will not supply weapons and military equipment to Ukraine.
