Russia is in talks with Italy on the purchase of up to 1,000 armored vehicles, an Italian news agency reported on Tuesday.

According to Ansa, the Russian military would like to buy up to 1,000 IVECO M65 (LMV) Light Multirole Vehicles.

It offered no further details, saying that the negotiations were ongoing.

LMVs have been used in Iraq, Afghanistan and other Italian missions abroad, where they have performed admirably.
