The πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦#Ukrainian armed forces in the #Kursk Oblast have lost an interesting vehicle - it is an πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ#US-supplied M113A3 with a new Ukrainian-made manned turret with 12.7mm M2 Browning.

Many M113s delivered to Ukraine have either no protection for the gunner at all, or the gunner is too exposed to enemy fire in the original turret. This new turret protects the gunner from all directions, including from above.
