Ukrainian automobile company AutoKrAZ (Kremenchutskyi Avtomobilnyi Zavod) signed an agreement with an unnamed customer to supply new KrAZ-Hulk multirole armored vehicle.
The KrAZ-Hulk is a multirole armored off-road MRАP (mine resistant ambush protected) vehicle . New armored vehicle is based on the KrAZ-5233 off-road chassis.
V-shaped hull helps to deflect the upward directed blast. Ballistic protection meets STANAG 4569 level 2. Armor plates stop penetration of bullet emitted from any shooting angle. Moreover, bullet penetration after ricochet has been minimized.
Mine protection meets STANAG 4569 level 2а and 2b: landmine explosion (6 kg of TNT) under any wheel or bottom.
All the glasses are laminated, bulletproof, inner layer is made of double polycarbonate.
Powerful 310 hp turbocharged engine delivers a speed of up to 90 km/h and ensures high performance at extreme temperatures ranging from – 45 to + 450C. Manual 9-speed transmission easily adapts the vehicle to specific operating conditions. Capacity: 12 crewmembers.
