Documented Use

Direct proof of use

The PMMC G5-related platform documented in Ukrainian service is FFG's Armoured Combat Support Vehicle, or ACSV G5, which FFG describes as incorporating the testing and trials of the PMMC G5 into the final ACSV design.

Shephard reported on 21 January 2026 that Ukraine had taken delivery of at least eight ACSVs funded by the German government. UNITED24 Media repeated the same delivery count the next day and identified the vehicles as German-made tracked ACSVs built by FFG.

On 22 January 2026, Defense Express and UNITED24 Media both reported the Ukrainian transfer, with Defense Express describing the vehicles as ACSV G5 platforms and noting the PMMC G5 origin of the design lineage.

Narrative

The reported Ukrainian vehicles should be treated as received combat-support platforms rather than confirmed combat-employment examples. The available sources support delivery, Ukrainian receipt, and the ACSV G5 relationship to the PMMC G5, but they do not identify a specific Ukrainian unit, front-line location, or battlefield incident involving the eight vehicles.

FFG presents the ACSV as a modular tracked support vehicle for battlefield tasks, including mission-module, cargo, enclosed, and ground-based air-defense variants. Defense Express described the ACSV G5 as a support platform able to carry cargo, containers, or other payloads, while distinguishing the Ukrainian transfer from Dutch air-defense orders using the same family of vehicles.

Ukrainian forces were documented operating BATT UMG vehicles at Bakhmut in December 2022, while SIPRI transfer data, German government aid lists, and parliamentary records support later BATT/FFG-linked APC and MRAP delivery context for Ukraine.
YPR-765, Tracked infantry fighting vehicle and armored personnel carrier family, Armored VehiclesArmored VehiclesYPR-765Tracked infantry fighting vehicle and armored personnel carrier familyThe YPR-765 and Belgian AIFV-B are closely related branches of FMC's AIFV family, a tracked infantry fighting vehicle and armored carrier derived from the M113 lineage. Dutch and Belgian vehicles combine aluminum armor with spaced steel applique, road and amphibious mobility, and variant-specific weapons ranging from a 25 mm cannon to machine guns, TOW missiles, MILAN launchers, medical-evacuation fittings, or remote weapon stations. SIPRI transfer data and Dutch official aid lists identify 353 AIFV-APC/YPR tracked armored vehicles delivered or pledged to Ukraine, and Ukrainian border-guard reporting cited by Army Recognition shows Belgian-made AIFV-B-C25 vehicles joining the same wartime AIFV/YPR family in Ukrainian service.

Canadian procurement records describe eight variants across Type 2, Type 2+, and Type 3 groups: troop/cargo, ambulance, command post, electronic warfare, engineer, fitter/cargo, maintenance and recovery, and mobile repair team vehicles. Canada has transferred ACSV vehicles to Ukraine, where the type is documented as a Canadian-built protected mobility and support platform for Ukrainian forces.
