PAKISTAN AIMS TO DEVELOP A LIGHT ARMOURED VEHICLE

[Khagan1923]

Cobra II BOV (Border Observation Vehicle):

BMC Amazon (with a laser weapon on top)(Qatar ordered 1500 of these, without the laser):

BMC Vuran(some are already in use by the TAF):

BMC Kirpi NG(MRAP):

Nurol Ejder:

Nurol NMS(Modular, Engine made by Tumosan, a Turkish firm):

Katmerciler Hizir(50 Hizirs will be bought by the TAF and used as BOV together with the Cobra II BOV versions, upgrades are done by Aselsan):

I don't know much about South African defence sector and its products but should you guys choose Turkey there are many options to choose from.

South African REVA MRAP

Survived 20KG IED in Thailand

Thailand has developed a MRAP as well, most likely based on the REVA called Phanton 380X

This is another provider who is new; looks similar to Mamba/rg-31 but it is not.

Survived 20kg IED flipped the vehicle but the crew compartment is intact. very impressive.

A big part is the seats - to ensure that spinal cord injuries are minimal. At this stage there are 5. producers in SA from the top Armscor (denel), Paramount, one midrange and two smaller players.

.. i stand corrected; 5 in total now.

If we have smaller players work like this, there is no reason. i repeat no reason why in Pakistan similar industry cannot take hold. Just lack of vision and enterpreneurship.

No news, however if POF and associated factories are not upgraded soon, such projects will suffer due to high cost of production. automation is the order of the day.

That's true, hopefully the workers will be adjusted elsewhere.
