The Ukrainian Armed Forces destroyed for the first time the “new” all-terrain vehicle of the Russians, which was transferred to the troops less than a month ago

In total, the Rashists received 14 of these vehicles out of a total ordered batch of 50 units

The Ukrainian Defense Forces have added another vehicle of the Russian occupation army to the list of the first destroyed weapons of the racists – footage of the enemy tracked lightly armored all-terrain vehicle “Plastun-SN” destroyed by our military has appeared on the Internet.

This is the first recorded loss by the occupiers of such a vehicle, which has recently entered service with the Russian army. In late October, the Russian Defense Ministry announced the transfer of the first batch of 14 vehicles out of a total ordered batch of 50 all-terrain vehicles.

The “Plastun-SN” (SN – “special purpose”) is based on the civilian all-terrain vehicle of the same name, “Plastun”, which the occupiers are adapting for military use – it is known that there are two versions of such all-terrain vehicles in the “military version”, one with an 82-mm mortar and a reconnaissance vehicle with an optoelectronic station; the vehicle can also be used to evacuate the wounded, etc.

The vehicle is supposed to be able to withstand 7.62 mm bullets; among its features, the all-terrain vehicle literally has no hard roof, which can be replaced by a regular tent if necessary.
