The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine has codified and authorized the Zubr all-terrain armored vehicle for use by the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The vehicle is characterized by mobility and maneuverability.

The armored vehicle is equipped with an advanced independent suspension that provides a high level of cross-country ability and allows it to move confidently even in difficult terrain at a decent speed.

“Shallow water obstacles are also not a problem for this armored vehicle to overcome,” the Ministry of Defense writes.

The armored design of the Zubr vehicle provides reliable protection for the military from small arms fire and reduces the risk of injury to the driver and passengers in the event of an explosion on a mine or landmine planted by the enemy.

The engineering features of this vehicle allow it to be adapted for various tasks: additional weapons systems can be installed on the armored vehicle, used to transport personnel or evacuate the wounded from the battlefield.

According to the First Deputy Minister of Defense, Lieutenant General Ivan Havryliuk, over 900 new models of weapons and military equipment were put into service this year.

As noted by the government, Ukraine is capable of producing more than 3 million drones of various types in a year.
