A Royal Australian Airforce plane will depart for Europe today, carrying Australian-built armoured vehicles for the Ukrainian frontline. 

Four Bushmasters have recently been repainted and refitted in Brisbane following a request from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

Australia will eventually send 20 of the troop carriers to the war-torn nation as it continues to fight the Russian invasion.
