“The vehicles will be delivered complete to Ukraine, and, apparently, will be used there for testing in order to determine the possibility of retrofitting parts of 200 HMMWV cars, received by Ukraine in 2015 as American military aid, according to the SCTV variant,” the author writes.
In the case of a positive decision, the Ukrainian defense industry plan to retool HMMWV at its facilities using the kits that will come from the United States.

The mass of the empty upgraded vehicle is 13000 pounds (5900 kg), and the total combat weight reaches 18500 pounds (8400 kg), despite the fact that the total combat weight of the most heavily armored standard HMMWV variants is no more than 6200 kg.
