"The Defense Ministry shows interest in the Patrol-A armored vehicle," Germichev said. According to him, the vehicle will find a ready market in the Middle East and Northern Africa since it can be operated in all road conditions at altitudes up to 4,500 m above sea level.

The Patrol-A armored vehicle chassis is based on that of the Kamaz-43502 truck with a 4x4 wheel drive. "This is another advantage of the vehicle since the number of Kamaz truck maintenance centers in the world is quite high," Germichev added. The Patrol chassis has a conventional layout different from that of the baseline analog. The ACV accommodates 10 men and its basic armor protection meets Br4 GOST standard protection against 5.45 mm 7N10 rounds and 7.62 mm bullets fired from the Kalashnikov assault rifle. "If the customer desires, the protection can be optionally reinforced to the Br6a GOST level /protection against an armor piercing incendiary 7.62 mm bullet fired from the SVD sniper rifle.

The Patrol-A armored vehicle is designed for a terrain patrol, reconnaissance and personnel transportation. The combat vehicle outfit weighs 12.7 tons; the payload is 1.5 tons, personnel capacity 10 men. "The armored vehicle can be fitted with different fighting modules, including remotely controlled ones," Germichev added. The maximum road speed of the vehicle is 100 km/h. The latest version of the Patrol-A is powered by a Russian-manufactured engine and gearbox.-
