The Slovenian government delivered 20 Valuk armoured vehicles to Ukraine in complete secrecy.

As reported by Slovenian 24UR, transportation to Ukraine was completed this week in complete secrecy. The operation took several months as the armoured vehicles had to be prepared, serviced, and transported.

They were transported by a C-17 aircraft to one of the neighbouring countries.

Slovenian Valuk APCs are equipped with 40mm automatic grenade launchers or 12.7mm machine guns. They are designed to transport infantry and protect them from anti-personnel mines and infantry weapons up to 12.7mm. There were 85 units in the Slovenian army and they have been in service for 24 years.

The APC can go about 600 kilometers by road and from 200 to 300 kilometers off-road.

As previously reported, Slovenia will sign an agreement (Ukr) with the European Defence Agency (EDA) to join a project for the joint procurement of artillery ammunition for Ukraine.

Slovenia is to organise a conference on international cooperation (Ukr) in the investigation of war crimes in late May.
