Zitat:US Army to Replace M-113 Tracked Armored Vehicles Sent to Ukraine with Next-Generation AMPV Combat Vehicleshttps://armyrecognition.com/news/army-ne...t-vehicles
To replace the M-113s being sent to Ukraine, the U.S. Army plans to follow a one-to-one replacement strategy, substituting the older M-113s with next-generation Armored Multi-Purpose Vehicles (AMPVs). The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) announced this significant commitment to Ukraine’s defense efforts at the beginning of January 2025, revealing that 900 M-113 armored personnel carriers (APCs) and 300 armored medical treatment vehicles will be transferred to Ukraine. This donation is part of an ongoing U.S. effort to bolster Ukraine’s military capabilities in its conflict with Russia. However, this transfer places additional pressure on the U.S. Army’s own modernization goals, specifically the Armored Multi-Purpose Vehicle program, as the Army works to replace the older M-113s with its next-generation AMPV platforms.
