With the help of two powerful YPR-765 armored personnel carriers, Ukrainian fighters attacked the positions of the occupiers near the village of Yagidne, Kharkiv region.
The YPR-765 PRI is a Dutch armored personnel carrier developed in the 1970s based on the American M113. It is armed with a 12.7 mm Browning M2 machine gun. It is also possible to install an automatic MK19 40-mm grenade launcher.
The armored personnel carrier has an aluminum body, a metal bumper, the joints between the sheets are filled with polyurethane foam. Accommodates 7 paratroopers. YPR-765 PRI armor withstands hits from heavy machine guns and some grenade launchers.
The Armed Forces received these machines from the Allies in 2022. Fighters have already noted that YPR-765 PRI are much more maneuverable and easier to control than Soviet machines of this type. In general, as of April this year, the Netherlands sent 196 of its armored personnel carriers to Ukraine.
