In the first half of this year, the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine has put five models of armoured vehicles for various purposes into service.
This is stated in the press service of the Ukrainian defence ministry.
The list of samples that have received the NATO nomenclature code includes products from domestic defence companies and models manufactured by foreign defence companies. Wheeled armoured personnel carriers, armoured vehicles with enhanced mine protection, and a repair and recovery vehicle based on a tank chassis have been codified for the needs of the army. The armoured repair and evacuation vehicle is equipped with special units and mechanisms for evacuating armoured vehicles from the battlefield and carrying out repairs in the field.
The ministry reminded that the procedure for obtaining a NATO nomenclature code for a new type of weapons and military equipment has now been reduced to 10 days.
Codified and included in the staffing table of military units, the sample of weapons and military equipment of domestic production is allowed to be purchased at the expense of the state budget and used in the Armed Forces.
