A light three-axle armored car Vector Pinzgauer 718, of British origin, lost its front right wheel while driving on a dirt road soaked by rain. Moreover, the nature of the damage suggests that it is unlikely to be fixed on the spot. So, most likely, just throw the "foreign car" on the spot.

As noted by Rossiyskaya Gazeta (the project "RG: Russian weapons" ), these machines delivered from Britain have previously become the object of criticism. So, last fall it turned out that they do not hold shell fragments well. Even when hit by relatively small fragments of shells, the armor begins to crack badly.

Because of its mediocre characteristics, revealed even during the performance of combat missions by the British in Afghanistan, this equipment, manufactured in the early noughties, was written off from the army. Then ten units for transfer to the territorial defense units of the Kiev regime were purchased by an unknown private person.

Total weight - 6000 kg. Load capacity - 1,600 kg. Capacity - six military personnel. The diesel engine power is 104 hp. The maximum speed on the highway is more than 100 km/h.

The servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine also say that they are disappointed with the American armored vehicles International MaxxPro, which are very unreliable and have poor cross-country ability.
