Ukrainian military receives Turkish Kirpi armored vehicles

Ukrainian military has received 50 Kirpi armored vehicles, according to the Kakhovka military grouping, part of Ukraine’s Operational Command South. Kirpi (Turkish for “hedgehog”) is a mine-resistant ambush-protected personnel carrier produced by BMC, a large Turkish manufacturer. Each car can transport up to 13 passengers. Kirpi features a combination of standard and add-on armor, that, along with its V-shape underbody and monocoque, provides protection against incoming ballistic projectiles and also from landmines and improvised explosive devices. Ukraine’s military expects to get more 150 Kirpi vehicles soon. Source: Kakhovka military grouping\Facebook
