BUSHMASTER | Australian Bush Master In Ukraine taking Offencive
- last year
Rustam, who is running a training session the ABC has been granted access to, says the Australian vehicle has superior armour to other troop carriers.
"Bushmasters work perfectly. They can withstand RPG shots, run into mines, and tame enemy machine guns," he says.
"This type of transport is used during assault operations for the unit, as well as for moving personnel to the front edge of the front, as well as for evacuation."

Ukrainian soldiers are incredibly thankful for the Bushmasters that have been sent by Australia.
"I am very grateful to our Australian brothers for supporting us in this difficult hour for our country," says Vladyslav.
"They supported us not only in words, not only diplomatically, but also in deeds. They sent their wonderful machines, which perform their task very well in the defence of Ukrainian independence."
"If the Australians were around, I would hug them,” adds Oleksandr.
"I would like to thank them very much for helping us."
