The ITX-20 H MRAP (Mine Resistant Ambush Protected) vehicle weighs 19.5 tons and is equipped with reinforced armor and a machine gun turret. It is designed to transport personnel while ensuring optimal protection against anti-tank mines and machine gun fire. The vehicle offers rapid support and secure arrival of teams in the field, improving mobility in hazardous environments.

Farid Abdullayev, the mine clearance project manager at Improtex Group LLC, informed journalists that the potential customers for Improtex's military armored vehicles are mainly in South Asia and South America. He also emphasized that the company's priority is first and foremost to meet the internal needs of the country. Abdullayev specified that the ITX vehicles, locally manufactured, would initially undergo rigorous testing for three to four months. The company is also interested in exporting these vehicles, recognizing that the defense industry is an essential part of the economy. He compared this to Turkey, where the sector is rapidly growing with significant export potential. Improtex hopes that Azerbaijan will continue in this direction and enhance its defense industry capabilities.

Improtex Group also presented three new armored vehicles at the ADEX 2024 exhibition. In addition to the ITX-20 H, the company unveiled the ITX-15 M and ITX-6 L models. These platforms are designed to carry out a range of missions, from personnel transport to patrol operations, command posts, and medical evacuation. According to Abdullayev, Improtex is committed to reducing reliance on imports by offering customized solutions that meet the needs of the country's military and paramilitary structures.

ADEX 2024, held from September 24 to 26 at the Baku Expo Center, marks the fifth edition of this major defense industry event in the region. Since its first edition in 2014, the exhibition has continued to grow, attracting numerous companies representing more than 50 countries. To date, over 200 official delegations have visited the exhibition, which has established itself as a key platform for showcasing the latest innovations in defense. In parallel, the 14th International Exhibition of Internal Security, Safety, and Rescue Equipment, "Securex Caspian," is also taking place in Baku.

With the unveiling of its new armored vehicles at ADEX 2024, Improtex Group demonstrates its ambition to enhance Azerbaijan's defense capabilities. The ITX-20 H, alongside other ITX models, showcases the potential of the local defense industry. By focusing on internal needs while exploring export opportunities, Improtex aims to play an increasingly important role in the proliferation of armored vehicles, both in Azerbaijan and internationally, particularly in South Asia and South America.
