There seems to be a large difference between the British and the Ukrainians in their use of the AT-105, with the Ukrainians choosing to use the vehicle in manner better suited for which it was designed. That is to say, the AT-105 was meant to be used as a protected transport/cargo/utility vehicle and not as a frontline APC.
I believe the original design intention was for it to be used to transport troops/cargo from the rear to the front - similar to an APC but not the 'same', the AT-105 is more accurately, an armoured GS truck.
