Canada delivered to Ukraine 39 brand new ACSVs in 2022.

Canada subsequently agreed to donate another 50 ACSVs for delivery in 2024+.

The 2 depicted in this video appear to be part of a shipment of the first 10 of the 50. It had been previously reported they would be delivered about this time in 2024. They are on their way to Germany where some Ukraine crew training will take place first.

There are 8 variants of the ACSV:
1. Troop Cargo Vehicles (TCV) – General purpose LAV
2. Ambulance (Amb) with four litters
3. Command Post
4. Engineer with dozer, auger and lane marking capabilities
5. Electronic Warfare
6. Maintenance Recovery Vehicle
7. Mobile Repair Team
8. Fitter/ Cargo Vehicle

I don’t recall it ever having been stated as to what variants Ukraine is receiving.

Way of the road bubs

Currently, the Canadian LAV 6.0 is one of the [most protected](https://www.defence-industries.com/articles/top-7-armored-personnel-carriers-in-the-world-defence-industries) armoured personnel carriers in the world.

A brand new design based on the experience of the Canadian Armed Forces in Afghanistan, it has a double V haul to protect against mines and IEDs. It features collapsible crew seating designed to absorb the impact of an explosion, thus reducing the probability of injury.

It also comes with hardpoints to attach optional cage armor.

It can also be equipped with a turret and a Bushmaster 25mm cannon, identical to the Bradley fighting vehicle, but Canada did not say if any of the 50 vehicules delivered to Ukraine would come in this configuration.
