Ukraine Ambulance

[Wardogsuk]

Ex British Army team medic I drove 14D, on a callsign matrix that is an ambulance, the aim is to recycle the desert patrol vehicle Vector which is based on a Pinzgauer. 

Removing desert scheme repainting white and adding reflective red crosses and blue lights plus refitting inside the rear cabin.

This vehicle will be able to protect the crew and any causalities from small arms and artillery shrapnel

Background nerdism: the Pinzgauer is presumably more competent than the 75 AT105 Saxons that we gave to Ukraine in 2014, which according to General Sir Richard Dannatt are "quite useless, semi-armoured lorries that should be nowhere near anyone's front line". Oof.  They're using some of them as ambulances, at least when the Russians aren't capturing them.

"gave" is a bit of a stretch, apparent cost per unit delivered was in the region of 50k, although I bet we barely broke even when the "new" cost was factored in

Yup https://defence-blog.com/ukraine-has-received-55-at105-saxon-armoured-personnel-carrier/ reckons "51 thousand dollars, taking into account all fees and transportation costs".  Looks like we mugged them off, if so.
