The open conflict between Russia and Ukraine which started on February 24 has seen a number of uncommon vehicles, from prototypes or rare production vehicles to field conversions, used and even lost. This post will attempt to list and classify some of them.

The Kevlar-E is an Ukrainian IFV prototype based on the 2S1 SPG chassis. The prototype was unveiled in 2020. It has been spotted driving on a number of occasions from February 26 onward in Kharkiv, where it was presumably built and stored, as Russian forces approached the city.
