Secret Slovenian armored vehicles of the Armed Forces of Ukraine caught on camera (video)
In April, Slovenia secretly handed over Valuk armored personnel carriers of its own production to Ukraine. The batch size was 20 units. This week, one of the armored vehicles was caught on video.
The video was published on Telegram by the administration of the Clash Report channel. Until recently, there was no video of Slovenian armored vehicles in the public domain.
Production of the Valuk APC began in the mid-90s. It is a localized version of the Australian Pandur APC. The weight of the armored vehicle exceeds 12 tons. It is armed with a 12.7-mm machine gun and a 40-mm grenade launcher. The Valuk was originally designed to transport infantrymen. Its capacity is six people.
The armored personnel carrier has enough fuel to cover 300 kilometers of off-road travel. It will be able to travel up to 600 km on the highway. The maximum speed of the APC reaches 100 km/h. There were only 85 such cars in Slovenia. Nevertheless, it handed over 20 armored personnel carriers to the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
