The Al-Mared is fully developed and designed by KADDB based on an 8x8 TATRA truck chassis fitted with a fully protected all-welded steel hull that can provide ballistic protection up to STANAG 4569 Level 4 frontal, against firing of small arms 14.5x114 mm caliber AP (Armor-Piercing) at 30 meters with 930 m/s and STANAG 4569 level 3 around. The vehicle in the future could be upgraded to STANAG 4569 Level 5 which is 25mm APDS resistant with add-on armor.
The lower part of the Al-Mared integrates v-shaped armoured hull that protects occupants by deflecting mine blasts anywhere under the vehicle. It protects the crew of the vehicle against mine blast of 8 kg of TNT under any wheels.
At SOFEX 2018, KADDB presented two variants of its new Al-Mared, the APC and IFV versions. The Al-Mared IFV is fitted with a Scimitar turret mounted on the roof of the vehicle, armed with a 30mm gun and one 12.7mm heavy machine gun.
The vehicle has a crew of two and can carry eight infantrymen at the rear of the hull. There is four small bullet proof windows and three firing ports on each side of the hull. There is power-operated ramp at the rear of the hull which is used by the infantrymen to leave and enter in the vehicle.
The Al-Mared is powered by a Diesel engine developing 420 hp. coupled to a 6 speed automatic transmission. The powerpack is located at the front right side. The vehicle can run at a maximum road speed of 110 km/h with a maximum cruising range of 600 km.
In the future, 105mm tank destroyers and also ATGM carriers will be available. At least 10 have been built but 50 chassis have been ordered from Tatra. Remember this company is only 19 years old and has done a whole lot in those 20 years from RPG-32, Jadara Terminator ATGM, 4x4s, 6x6, and now 8x8.
My question for you is 1. Do you like it? And 2. is would you say this this could be good for the armed forces of your country?
IFV versions with 30mm Scimitar turret.
APC version with snakehead cupola that can carry 5.56mm, 7.62mm, and 12.7mm machine guns.
IFV with door opened to allow entrance and exit for troops.
