Britain will send 70 Husky TSV armoured vehicles to Ghana to help improve security along the northern part of the country's border. The announcement was made during the visit of the British Minister for Africa Vicky Ford to Ghana. This is the minister's second visit to the country this year and aims to further strengthen the bilateral partnership between the two countries.
The Ghana News Agency reported that the British High Commission in Accra had approved the delivery of 70 Husky vehicles to the African country. In addition to strengthening security, the deployment of armoured vehicles will help protect local communities near the northern border from extremists. As part of the deal, the British Armed Forces will also provide training to Ghanaian troops. Based on the International MXT model, the Husky is designed as a medium, high mobility armoured tactical support vehicle (TSV).
This vehicle can be used for patrol missions. There are three variants of the Husky including a utility vehicle, ambulance and command post vehicle.
