The old FV432 armored personnel carriers are used by British instructors during the training of crews of Ukrainian armed formations. This is reported by the project " RG: Russian weapons ".
They lit up at one of the military training grounds, where the running simulator of the Challenger 2 DTT tank drivers, as well as 155-mm AS-90 self-propelled artillery units are clearly visible.
Such armored personnel carriers were produced in the late 60s and were not exported until 1971. The thing is that the tactical and technical characteristics were inferior to many foreign models, such as the American M113 or Soviet BTR-50.
