The Armed Forces of Ukraine received foreign Alvis 4 armored vehicles. Photos with a set of armored vehicles in Ukraine were posted on social networks. The machines were made in Great Britain and later used in Estonia. This type of armored vehicle took part in peacekeeping operations in South Africa and Kosovo.

At first glance, the armored personnel carrier is somewhat bulky, but looks like an ordinary armored personnel carrier, but it was developed not only as an armored personnel carrier, but also as a mine-protected vehicle for operations in areas where landmines are possible. It was developed after a series of mine protection vehicles specifically designed to counter the mine warfare conditions that once prevailed along the borders of South Africa and former Rhodesia.

It has an armored lower part with inclined plates designed to repel a powerful mine explosion from the car. The steel upper part of the hull can be armored almost to requirements, but is usually only resistant to fire from small arms and ammunition fragments. In the cabin, the commander and driver sit side by side, and the soldiers sit just behind; Access to all positions is through the back door.

The commander has a hatch on the roof, on which, if necessary, a machine gun can be installed. All passengers are provided with bulletproof windows. It will be remembered that the Ukrainian forces recently received the Polish-made DZIK armored vehicles. Source
