Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

This question was answered on 24th March 2015
The Saxon is a lightly armoured personnel carrier (APC). The information we have received from the Ukraine Ministry of Defence states that the APCs will be used by two battalions operating in the Anti-Terrorist Operation area (ATO), and by airmobile units for reconnaissance and general patrolling. We are aware that the Ukrainians are also considering converting some of the APCs for use as “Medevac vehicles.”
