More than 1000 have been supplied to Ukraine, they can soak some vehicle losses. That's what they're built for.

Yep. To expand they're built to save fighters' lives. If you had to put a value on it, one veteran Ukrainian is worth far more than this MRAP. And this one saved several.

And not only that: The it says they survived without injuries (though I'm guessing they were at least a little shook up). Give those guys the next vehicle on the line, and I bet they're more than happy to go find the Russians that placed those mines and give them their regards.

The morale boost from having this kind of equipment probably cannot be underestimated
