United States Delivers Prototype of Made-in-Ukraine “Kozak” Armored Vehicle

United States Delivers Prototype of Made-in-Ukraine “Kozak” Armored Vehicle

Yesterday the United States delivered the first prototype of an armored “Kozak” vehicle to the Ukrainian State Border Guard Service (SBGS) at its logistics base in Kyiv.


The “Kozak” is the first prototype of its kind designed by “Practika” in Kyiv, Ukraine. Meeting Ukrainian Class 4 standards for armoring, the vehicle is built on an IVECO chassis and includes a v-shaped armored hull to guard against anti-personnel mines or other explosives. The prototype is analogous to a lite version of a U.S. Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicle.

To date, the United States has delivered dozens of armored pick-up trucks and vans to the Ukrainian Border Guard Service. The “Kozak” is larger and offers a higher level of protection. Delivery of the prototype helps fulfill one of the commitments noted in the June 4, 2014 White House Fact Sheet on U.S. Security Assistance to Ukraine.
