also recalled that Italy announced its willingness to provide financial
assistance to the NATO Trust Fund in 2015 to support the defense potential
of Ukraine. Iveco LMV (Light Multirole Vehicle) is a 4WD tactical vehicle developed by Iveco, and in service with several countries. LMV can be fitted with modular armour, who gives a protection against any type of mine and ballistic threats, favoring crew protection versus vehicle integrity. The Iveco LMV can be fitted with a remote controlled weapon station armed with weapons up to 12,7 mm in caliber. Larger weapons systems such as air-defense missiles, shelter, box-type or even pick-up style bodies can be mounted behind a smaller two-seat cab. IVECO LMV M65 is deservedly considered as one of the best Light Armoured MRAP. He can not only withstand fire from automatic weapons, but also withstand bombs up to 6-7 kg of TNT. |
