Speaking at the ceremony, Brigadier General Hatami hailed the features of the Aras-2 Tactical Vehicle and said with its high mobility in rugged terrains, heavy military gears and weapons installed on it, its high power and torque as well as its power-to-weight ratio, which has increased compared to its predecessor, the vehicle has made remarkable improvements.
