#Ukrainian Armed Forces

At the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion, few believed Ukraine could hold out—the imbalance of forces seemed too great. Yet the war has now lasted three and a half years, and Russian losses have long since topped one million. But does Ukraine have an overarching plan not only to defend itself, but to prevail?

The United States is reportedly preparing to restart production of a once-Afghanistan-exclusive armored vehicle, this time for Ukraine. The Pentagon plans to order 65 Textron-built Mobile Strike Force Vehicles (MSFVs)—a heavily modified variant of the M1117 armored car—under the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative.
