The first XA-180 Pasi armored personnel carrier delivered from Finland became a trophy of the liberators.

According to " RG: Russian weapons ", the three-axle car does not have any visible damage, except that the front right wheel was lowered. And, apparently, the "one hundred and eighties" stalled.

In order not to fall under the fire of Russian artillery or armored vehicles, the crew escaped without even removing the 12.7 mm NSVT "Utes" machine gun from the roof of the hull.

Attention is drawn to the snow chains fixed on board and starting to rust, which can be used both in conditions of thaw and in ice.

The first information about the supply of such armored personnel carriers to Ukrainian neo-Nazis was made public in mid-September. Moreover, there was no official information from Helsinki.

The XA-180 has been in operation in Finland since 1984 and is now considered obsolete. A medium-sized two-axle army all-terrain vehicle Sisu SA-150 was used as a "donor" of components and assemblies for them.

The height of the APC is 2300 mm, length - 7350 mm, width - 2900 mm. Two hatches are cut in the stern, and there are loopholes for small arms and surveillance devices in the sides. The maximum thickness of the reservation reaches 10 mm. The power of the turbocharged diesel engine is 236 hp. The maximum speed on the highway is 100 km / h, afloat - 9 km/ h. The power reserve is 800 km. Combat weight - 15500 kg. The crew is two people, plus sixteen infantrymen.

APCs have already been used by the APU in combat, but not too successfully. They have demonstrated insufficient protection. A big disadvantage is the open location of the machine gunner. Nevertheless, this copy would look good among the Ukrainian captured equipment in the Patriot park near Moscow.
