According to information published by the Danish media website “OLFI” on April 29, 2022, Denmark plans to donate Piranha III 8×8 wheeled APCs (Armored Personnel Carrier) vehicles to Ukraine.
Army Recognition had previously reported that Denmark had planned the possibility of providing M113 tracked Armored Personnel Carrier (APC) vehicles, anti-tank mines, and mortar shells to Ukraine.
In January 2022, the Danish Government decided to allocate €22 million to a comprehensive new support program to Ukraine. The program aimed to strengthen Ukraine’s resilience and ability to manage the severe consequences of the ongoing conflict in eastern Ukraine.
The Piranha III is an 8×8 wheeled armored vehicle developed by the Swiss company Mowag, which is now part of GDELS (General Dynamics European Land Systems). Currently, the Danish uses the Piranha IIIH and Piranha IIIC which are improved versions of the Piranha III. Piranha III is currently being replaced by Piranha V in the Danish armed forces.
