The Ukrainian military is already mastering the use of British Wolfhound armored vehicles.

The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine said this in a Facebook post, Ukrinform reports.

"Our defenders are already mastering the use of Wolfhounds - British armored tactical support vehicles. [...] The armored vehicles came to Ukraine from Britain as part of a defensive aid package for our country, including the army. We are grateful to British friends for their support!" the post reads.

Wolfhound is a six-wheeled cargo version of the Mastiff armored personnel carrier, which in turn is a British version of the South African Cougar vehicle.

The Wolfhounds transferred to Ukraine are equipped with 12.7mm Browning M2 large-caliber machine guns.

The vehicle's maximum speed is 90 km/h. The armored vehicle can carry eight soldiers and two crew members.
