On the basis of South Africa’s “Paramount
Group”, 30 military vehicles have been manufactured
in Baku together with Defense Industry Ministry’s
institution. At present, installation of arms and other
little works are being carried out on the techniques.
The two armoured vehicles use
a “V” shaped chassis which increase
the resistance against blast of mine or IED explosion,
and can be armed with 12.7 or 14.5 mm machine gun. In
case of antitank mines’ explosion, they protect
the cew and soldiers from splinters and explosive impacts.
Note that, “Matador” can carry 14 (12+2),
“Marauder” 10 (8+2) personnel. Their explosion
resistance is 21 kg TNT and 14 kg TNT. These combat vehicles
can protect the personnel from 7.62 mm ammo. “Matador”
meets standards of STANAG 4569 Level 4a and STANAG 4569
Level 4b, “Marauder” meets standards of STANAG
4596 Level 3a and STANAG 4569 Level 3b.
