Ukraine Receives New BTR-70 Armored Personnel Carriers

After engines and propulsion systems overhaul, all armored vehicles went to Yavoriv military training ground in Lviv region for tests. Armored vehicles were equipped with slat armor, allowing withstanding grenade launcher hits.
Powers of state enterprise "45 Experimental Mechanical Plant" allow repair up to 70-80 units of such equipment per year.
Prior to repair, armored vehicles were based in Artemivsk.
