Ukraine’s Lyut’ Brigade deploys Spanish BMR M-600 armored vehicles

The Ukrainian National Police’s assault unit, the Lyut’ (“Fury”) Brigade, has received Spanish Pegaso BMR M-600 armored personnel carriers, Militarnyi reported. The deployment was confirmed by a military-focused Telegram channel, Tysk, which shared a photo showing the vehicle equipped with a specially crafted anti-drone grill structure featuring doors for both crew and troops.

Since Russia started its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, Spain has provided Kyiv with critical defense systems, armored vehicles, generators, and signed a ten-year bilateral security cooperation agreement to strengthen Ukraine’s long-term resilience.

Militarnyi noted that the angle of the released photo makes it difficult to identify the exact configuration of the vehicle. However, it suggests that the vehicle could be a BMR-600 VRAC variant used for chemical reconnaissance, previously seen in Ukraine. In January 2024, Militarnyi had also reported Spain’s delivery of two medical BMR M-600 units to Ukraine, refurbished by the company TECNOVE:

No official announcements have been made about the delivery of standard troop transport versions of the BMR-600, but the presence of such a vehicle suggests it may be part of military aid from Spain, Militarnyi suggests.

BMR-600

The BMR-600 is a Spanish 6×6 wheeled armored personnel carrier developed in the early 1970s and mass-produced from 1979. This amphibious APC serves as a mainstay of Spanish ground forces and has been exported internationally.

This amphibious vehicle accommodates 11 troops plus driver and gunner in an aluminum-armored hull. Key features include front-left driver position, right-side engine bay, rear troop compartment with ramp access and dual roof hatches. The 310-hp Pegaso diesel delivers 100 km/h maximum speed via automatic transmission and dual-steered front axles. Amphibious capability relies on wheel propulsion or optional water jets (9 km/h).
