The big white stripe reminds me of D-Day invasion stripes (WW2) to reduce friendly fire incidents. I’m not sure what it does for camouflage though?
I think most of these are actually Dutch-donated YPR-765s which are an evolution of the M113.
You can tell them apart by the additional armor plate on the front “slope” and the slanted armor on the sides of the rear area whereas a M113 maintains its box shape back there.
Back to stripes, like in 2014. Btw, is here sense to mark western vehicles, if ruzzians dont have them?
Dutch YPG-765s. They have an extra plate on the front that can fold down in amphibious mode to prevent water going over the top.
