Terradyne Gurkha MPV

 In another first for the Ukraine conflict, here is first confirmed destruction of a Canada-made Terradyne Gurkha MPV.

 

 

 

However, this is not the first confirmed destruction of the Gurkha overall and not the first mention on this blog either - Gurkha vehicles were destroyed as far back as in 2015 in Yemen, per our earlier reports:

From 2015:

 

Saudi military Gurkha rapid patrol vehicle (RPV), abandoned and captured near Jizan by Ansarullah or allied forces

Saudi Toyota-platform LTV and Gurkha rapid patrol vehicle (RPV) destroyed by Ansarullah or allied Yemeni Army forces, apparent victims of ambush near Jizan.
