Ukrainian Armed Forces approved to use Varan buggies

According to the Ministry of Defense, the Varan buggies were designed and manufactured domestically. They are built on a sturdy power frame, optimized for harsh operating conditions.

Each buggy comes equipped with a powerful turbodiesel engine and a 5-speed automatic transmission. Most parts and components are sourced from well-known global car manufacturers.

The Ministry also noted that the buggy's designer is a seasoned engineer with extensive experience in vehicle repair and operation. The buggies will be utilized for moving personnel, evacuating the wounded, transporting ammunition, and more.

"The two-seater buggy weighs just over a ton but can carry 500 kg of cargo or tow a trailer weighing up to 300 kg. The fuel tank allows for 200 km of off-road travel, and on sand, the Varan can reach speeds over 100 km/h," the Ministry stated.

• In addition, Ukraine's Ministry of Defense has codified and approved the delivery of the Ukrainian-made Chaklun drone.
