Apr 21, 2011 at 11:24 | Interfax-UkrainePlant Commercial Director Mykola Belov told reporters in Kharkiv on April 20 that the shipment, which started on April 19, would be complete on April 21. The armored personnel carriers will reach Iraq within a month.
Ukraine will supply 20 regular APCs, four command APCs and two medical APCs, he said.
The second shipment of 62 armored personnel carriers will be ready by September and supplied in a period coordinated with the client, he said.
In all, Iraq may receive about 400 BTR-4 vehicles by the end of next year, Belov said.
