Anzatsan's Yagbu offering boasts a robust build, measuring 5.9 meters in length, 3 meters in width, and 3 meters in height, with a relatively low profile of 1.5 meters. Its engineering marvel is equipped with a Torsion Shaft suspension system, allowing it to traverse challenging terrains with ease, ensuring superior mobility and maneuverability.

Safety and protection are at the core of Anzatsan's design, as evidenced by the vehicle's Stanag-Ll mine and L3 Ballistic armor level. These features guarantee optimal safeguarding against both explosive threats and ballistic attacks, enhancing the survivability of the crew and equipment on board.

Powered by a 550HP engine, this Yabgu heavyweight machine possesses ample strength to carry out its designated tasks effectively. Despite its empty weight of 13,000 kilograms, the vehicle can transport an additional 5,000 kilograms, making it an essential logistical asset for mechanized units operating in demanding environments.

Impressively agile, the Yabgu UGV boasts a zero turning radius, enabling it to perform tight maneuvers in confined spaces. With a power-to-weight ratio of 36hp/tonne, it can achieve a remarkable maximum speed of 65 km/h and accelerate from 0 to 30 km/h in just 8 seconds, showcasing its rapid response capabilities during critical situations.

Anzatsan has equipped this UGV with an array of advanced technologies, including a 40mm UKSS weapon system, Lidar, Radar, Cameras, and GPS, ensuring superior situational awareness and target acquisition for the crew. The inclusion of a 250 kWh Lithium Battery Package and a 70 kW diesel generator ensures continuous power supply, even in prolonged missions.

Versatility lies at the heart of this military UGV, as it can serve as a fire support vehicle for mechanized troops, a logistics carrier, an escort vehicle for main battle tanks, and even accommodate roles such as ammunition launcher, mortar carrier, air defense system carrier, relay tool, electronic warfare equipment carrier, and airborne radar carrier.
