The UK Ministry of Defense announces the largest military aid package to Ukraine in the amount of 500 million pounds.

"The UK is delivering its largest ever military aid package to Ukraine. Alongside £500m in military funding, the UK is providing vital equipment," the statement reads.

In particular, the UK sends:

  • 4 million rounds of ammunition
  • More than 1,600 missiles
  • 400 vehicles - including 160 Husky vehicles

The Husky Tactical Support Vehicle (TSV) is a British military vehicle designed to perform tasks requiring protection and maneuverability.

The Husky was deployed in Afghanistan and Iraq, providing logistical support and protection for troops. It was not the largest or heaviest armored personnel carrier, but it provided a good balance of mobility and protection for missions where maneuverability is important.
