Romania supplies the Armed Forces with old modernized TAV-71M armored personnel carriers, which are a version of the Soviet BTR-60PB developed in the 60s.As the project "RG: Russian weapons" notes, these combat vehicles generally look the same as the base model.

And yet there are differences. For example, they have a different aft part. The fact is that in the engine and transmission compartment, instead of the old gasoline engines, two Saviem 797-05 produced under a French license with a total capacity of 270 hp were installed. [...]

The speed on the highway can reach up to 95 km / h, afloat - 10 km / h. The frontal armor has a thickness of 9 mm, the side armor is 7 mm, and the bottom is 5 mm. The crew consists of three people. Eight infantrymen are placed in the landing distance. The combat weight of these already considered obsolete armored personnel carriers is 11,000 kg.

There is no exact data yet on how many cars have been transported to the hotspot. However, it is known that the ground forces of this NATO state operated about three hundred such armored personnel carriers, plus almost a hundred self-propelled units created on their basis, armed with an 82-mm M-37M mortar. There is also a small number of armored recovery vehicles equipped with bulldozer dumps and crane equipment. Now all of them are gradually being written off, so the probability of sending them to the APU is very high.

Earlier it was reported that Romania is also going to supply Ukraine with old Soviet T-72 main battle tanks and MLI-84 infantry fighting vehicles purchased back in the late 70s.

As it turned out, the "seventy-second", which had been in storage for a long time, are extremely worn out and are more suitable for disassembly for spare parts. BMP, although made under the influence of equipment created in the USSR, but in many ways differ from them structurally, which can significantly complicate operation.
