military of Ukraine's Joint Forces Operation (JFO) have received a brand-new
armored personnel carrier (BTR) Butsefal ("Bucephalus"), developed by
the Kharkiv-based Morozov Machine Building Design Bureau, a state-owned
enterprise.
"The newest BTR-4E
Butsefal is an eight-wheel drive armored personnel carrier, developed in
Ukraine by the Kharkiv-based Machine Building Design Bureau and manufactured at
the Malyshev Plant. It is designed for the transportation of soldiers of the
mechanized infantry units and fire support in battles," the JFO press
service wrote on Facebook on September 28. The BTR is equipped with a powerful
30mm gun and a combat module that includes Stugna anti-tank guided missiles. In
addition, it has two water jet propellers and pumps for pumping water, so it is
able to force water obstacles. Butsefal can also effectively counter even heavy
armored vehicles such as T-72 tanks, which are in the arsenal of Russian
occupation troops. The military of the Joint Forces Operation have already
managed to assess combat capabilities of the brand-new combat vehicle," the
press service added.
