Canada has provided Ukraine with a new shipment of Light Armored Vehicles (LAVs) specially configured as ambulances, the Canadian Armed Forces’ Operation UNIFIER announced on Oct. 26.
Armored Combat Support Vehicles (ACSVs) are an extension of the existing LAV 6.0 family of vehicles in service with the Canadian army.
Although the exact number of vehicles remains unknown, this delivery comes after extensive training for Ukrainian personnel in Germany.
This contribution is part of Canada’s ongoing military assistance to Ukraine, which has amounted to nearly $4.5 billion since 2022. In September 2023, Canada committed to transferring 50 LAV 6.0 ACSV to Ukraine over a three-year period, as part of a $650 million investment in military aid.
