Two new 'Patrol' armored vehicles, designed for the Russian Interior and Defense ministries took part in a series of field tests in the Moscow Region on Thursday, December 1.
'Patrol' is a 12-tonne Mine Resistant Ambush Protected vehicle designed for transporting personnel and equipment across rough terrain and hostile areas. Developed by Asteis, the vehicle is based on the chassis of Kamaz – a brand of Russian trucks known throughout the world for their unparalleled off-road capability, reliability and rugged efficiency.
The vehicle can be employed in a wide variety of combat situations, including urban warfare. It can transport up to 10 passengers (including driver) or up to 1,500 kilograms of cargo, and can also be fitted with a weapon module to provide limited infantry support.
