UN Peacekeepers Order Russian BTR-80 Armored Personnel Carriers
Russia’s Military Industrial Company (MIC) will supply a batch of the BTR-80 armored personnel carriers for the UN peacekeepers.
"The UN peacekeepers have ordered a batch of the BTR-80 APCs", the company spokesman Sergei Suvorov told TASS on Wednesday.
However, the official did not specify the number of the vehicles and the delivery timeframe, as well as the customer.
In February, Russia passed a batch of small arms and ammunition to the Fiji peacekeepers. The arms were supplied for the Fijian mechanized infantry battalion deployed in the Golan Heights.
The United Nations has no permanent international contingent. The troops that are part of the peacekeeping force are voluntarily provided by the countries - members of the Organization.
