They buy only the good stuff, and pay good money. It must be a good van.
Good job, Ukraine. That should be a precedent to sell any weapons, weapons systems and vehicles. Ukraine can do it.

Excellent,
Ukraine’s arms sales have dropped since 2014 but those were primarily made up of selling off Soviet era surplus equipment. Now they are selling now made weapons and equipment which is more sustainable and builds the political ties Ukraine needs.
