"We have developed this combat vehicle on our own initiative in a month and a half. This vehicle can be manufactured in armored and unarmored versions. We plan to build, on its basis, the VPK-233136 Tiger-M vehicle that offers the fifth class of protection resisting a bullet with a thermally hardened core fired by the 7.62 mm caliber automatic Kalashnikov rifles," Krasovitsky said.

The layout of the ambulance version of the Tigr-M is similar to the original Tigr vehicle, but the rear compartment of the vehicle has been raised to offer more internal space. In armoured configuration, the vehicle offers a ballistic protection Level 2 STANAG 4569, firing of small arms 7.62mm caliber. It has a curb weight of 7,300 kg and a payload of 1,200 kg. According to him, the vehicle has become higher and can accommodate four wounded soldiers in a horizontal or sitting position plus the driver, medic or paramedic and one more medical assistant.
