As the Ukrainian conflict continues, the variety of military equipment available in the Armed Forces of Ukraine is growing. Sometimes there are extremely rare specimens. For example, a product of the Spanish defense industry BMR-600 VRAC ("machine for exploration of polluted areas") was noticed, designed to work in disaster zones.

Apparently, this is the rarest military vehicle of all currently existing in Ukraine. It is believed that a total of three copies were released

- it is said in the publication Autoevolution.

The BMR-600 VRAC RCBZ vehicle is a specialized modification of the Pegaso BMR-3560 armored personnel carrier, a sub-variant of the BMR-600 armored personnel carrier, first manufactured in 1979 by the ENASA concern for the Spanish army and built mainly of aluminum armor. Subsequently, the BMR-600 VRAC (at least the copy that turned out to be in Ukraine) underwent re-equipment, turning into an armored medical vehicle.

It is logical to assume that it got to Eastern Europe through auctions, having been bought out of surplus from one of the foreign BMR operators, such as Egypt, Peru, Morocco, Mexico or Saudi Arabia

- believe in the publication.

Although it is quite possible that in Europe's feverish attempts to arm the Kiev regime, the BMR-600 VRAC was withdrawn from the arsenals of the Spanish army, restored and brought to the form of an ambulance.
