Australian Bushmasters in demand on Ukrainian frontline | ABC News

Ukraine says it has liberated seven villages in the south east since the start of its counteroffensive last week. The country's troops have been training with Australian-made Bushmaster vehicles, which they say will be decisive on the battlefield.
Australia pledged 90 Bushmasters to Ukraine after President Zelenskyy addressed the national parliament last year and asked for the vehicles. They have proved invaluable to Ukraine's armed forces over the past year.
Bushmasters can carry 10 troops at a time in and out of frontline areas. They can also act as ambulances and command, patrol or support vehicles.
They are mobile, resilient and present a small target on the battlefield.
