Zelensky, hiding in the Netherlands, was shown various weapons, some of which may go to Ukraine. So, the former actor was shown an American Patriot anti-aircraft missile system, engineering equipment, a Swedish-made Bv 206S two-link armored personnel carrier, a 155-mm self-propelled German Panzerhaubitze 2000 howitzer and a Fennek armored car (4x4).
As the project "RG: Russian Weapons" notes, the latter was created in the late 90s together with Krauss-Maffei Wegmann. Serial production began in 2001.
In total, the royal army received more than three hundred such vehicles, the main task of which is to perform reconnaissance missions, although there are versions with Israeli Spike anti-tank missile systems and FIM-92 Stinger anti-aircraft installations.
The demonstrated specimen is armed with a 12.7 mm M2 Browning machine gun, but the installation of a 40 mm automatic grenade launcher is also acceptable.
The machine is equipped with an optoelectronic surveillance system raised to a height of 1500 cm and a 3.5-kilogram Aladin unmanned aerial vehicle.
Bulletproof armor protection: the forehead holds 12.7 mm armor-piercing ammunition, the sides and stern - 7.62 mm bullets.
Combat weight - 9700 kg. The power of the diesel engine is 240 hp. The maximum speed on the highway is 110 km / h. The power reserve is 1000 km. The crew is three people.
Five such BRMS have already been transferred by the German Bundeswehr. However, they almost did not show up at the line of contact.
Previously, the Netherlands has already supplied small arms, RPGs, FIM-92 Stinger MANPADS, AN/TPQ-36 counter-battery radars, Harpoon anti-ship missiles, Panzerhaubitze 2000 mentioned above, YPR-765 armored personnel carriers, etc.
