Delivery of BTR-3E1 to the Thailand Army suspended



Delivery of more than 30 new Ukrainian BTR-3E for the Thailand Army have been suspended due to the unrest in Ukraine. A batch of 32 vehicles BTR-3E1 series for Thailand have been produced in Kiev and have already passed the preliminary acceptance in the spring of 2014.

There are reports that Government of Ukraine might decided to use these in "anti-terrorist operations" against separatists.

Here is some info on the Ukraine BTRs
