Germany has transferred five more MEDIGUARD armored medical vehicles to the National Guard of Ukraine under an expanded contract. The delivery was a continuation of previous batches, and the vehicles received a number of adaptations taking into account the experience of the war, including the threat from FPV drones. This was reported by Defense Express, writes UNN.
Details
The production involves the German company BREMEDIC, which is responsible for medical equipment, and the partnership of ASC Hardcar International and the Ukrainian company Transformers. The updated MEDIGUARDs received mesh anti-drone screens covering most of the body, as well as modernized suspension, wheels, and braking system due to the increased mass of the armored capsule.

The armor complies with STANAG 4569 Level 1 and provides protection against 5.56 mm, 5.45 mm, and 7.62 mm caliber bullets. The medical compartment provides mounts for stretchers, additional seats and handles, as well as a rearview camera, additional lighting, and a power system with a 220 V inverter.
At least nine MEDIGUARDs are known to have been delivered with German funding, but the actual number may be higher due to the secrecy of data on military aid. In October 2025, it became known that one of these armored medics withstood a hit from three Russian drones – the cabin remained intact, and the crew did not suffer serious injuries.
