Purpose. The large number of armored vehicles offered in Ukraine significantly complicates the choice of such equipment for equipping the Armed Forces of Ukraine. These cars are designed and manufactured on a variety of ag-gregate bases, often owned by manufacturers in other countries, which is not always acceptable to the military. In addi-tion, the variety of designs leads to deterioration of unification and interchangeability of motor vehicles, which can lead to significant obstacles to quality and timely maintenance of military armored vehicles, their repair and modernization in real operation in the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Methodology. To solve the problem, an analysis of the features and evaluation of the effectiveness of the operation of armored vehicles, which are manufactured by factories of different countries for armed military units. Mathematical modeling methods were used to assess the efficiency of armored vehi-cles, including the specific fuel consumption per person transported and the ton of cargo transported, as well as speed criteria allows consumers of armored vehicles, which are the Armed Forces of Ukraine, to make an informed choice in favor of purchase another car with a large number of them, offered by numerous manufacturers of such products. Re-sults. It is established that Kremenchug Automobile Plant is the only car manufacturer in Ukraine that provides the full life cycle of cars from their development and manufacture to warranty and service support during operation. In addition, Kremenchug Automobile Plant has its own service and maintenance service, which reduces downtime of equipment manufactured by the plant, when performing repair or maintenance of cars in the units under the conditions of their op-eration. Operation of cars of the Kremenchug Automobile Plant, especially KrAZ «Hulk», taking into account their greater load and the number of personnel of military units that can be transported, according to specific indicators per person transported or ton of transported cargo, which is what the end user needs, it turns out more profitable from an economic point of view. Originality. For the first time, a comparative analysis of the specific fuel consumption of ar-mored vehicles manufactured by factories of different countries for armed military units, in their practical use and cal-culated the efficiency of their operation according to speed criteria. Practical value. Based on the comparative analysis of specific fuel consumption of armored vehicles manufactured by factories of different countries for armed military units, in their practical use and performed calculation of their efficiency according to speed criteria, the consumer of armored vehicles, which is the Armed Forces of Ukraine, can make an informed choice. in favor of buying a car from their large number, which is offered by many manufacturers of such products.
