This is the big category for the US, having sent over half of all deliveries with 2000+ APC, 1200 of them being M113. They also tend to be quite flimsy as the Stryker and M1117 are meant for fast and early intervention, so hopefully more European deliveries will come in soon to make up for their losses. The UK having announced almost 600 APC deliveries early this year will already be a great replacement of American shipments if Trump rescinds support again, Starmer really goes all in with his support for Ukraine now. I just wish France would accelerate the shipments of VAB, as they have already 3 times the number of the replacement vehicles (Griffin and Serval) as they sent VAB according to the latest numbers.

As for the unnamed Turkish APC that Ukraine is buying, there are 3 possible candidates: Otokar Cobra I/II (wheeled), ACV-15 (tracked)... or some of the over 2800 M113 that Turkey still has in reserve. I do expect it to be the Cobra II though, since it's the only one in active production - and the fact that it's already in use in Ukraine.
