The Ukrainian Defense Forces continue to adopt Western equipment from the allies. There was a video with the Danish modernization of the American M113 armored personnel carrier.

Video with armored personnel carrier M113G4DK published  Ukrainian journalist Roman Bochkala. In the recording, an armored personnel carrier with Ukrainian soldiers is moving along an asphalt road.

The M113G4DK differs from the base M113 with an extended body, an extra pair of track rollers, and extra external fuel tanks. 

The vehicle in the video is armed with a 12.7 mm Browning M2 machine gun.

The fact that Denmark will transfer its M113 armored personnel carriers to Ukraine became known in April. Armored vehicles were included in the $90 million military aid package announced by the Danish government.

The Danish Armed Forces have used M113 armored personnel carriers since the 1960s. In 2020, the country announced the transition to more modern wheeled Piranha V armored personnel carriers.

Danish M113s were upgraded in the 90s and 2010s. The armored personnel carriers received a 10.6-liter diesel turbo engine with a capacity of 300 hp, new tracks, external fuel tanks, and an improved braking and control system.
