In total, 10 thousand copies were released. In addition to the Italian army and other law enforcement agencies of this state, which received a total of three thousand units, they were purchased by the armed forces of ten more countries.

At the current stage, the APU receives various automotive equipment from a number of NATO states, but it is not yet necessary to say that these supplies will be able to seriously displace the former Soviet GASES, ZILs and KRAZY.
