It is worth noting that in 2025, the Armed Forces of Ukraine received 25 percent more specialized armored vehicles than in 2024. Most of these vehicles were manufactured according to the MRAP (Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected) design concept, which provides enhanced protection against mines and ambushes. Such vehicles feature a V-shaped hull designed to disperse blast energy, special shock-absorbing seats, a monocoque armored capsule, and external blast-absorbing components, including the wheels, chassis, and engine.
