"The search for relevant solutions and work in new segments allowed us to create this platform. In addition to the "Shield" complex, we are also working to introduce new design solutions for wheeled armored vehicles on the market both for the domestic market and for export supplies", commented Alexey Krivoruchko, CEO of the Kalashnikov Concern.

The vehicle is based on the cross-country truck chassis, developed by KAMAZ. The Shchit vehicle offers a solution for both protecting the law-enforcement units in action and controlling the situation whenever peace maintenance is required. The truck is equipped with a protected cabin, water cannon and steel shield. The shield comes equipped with launching ports designed for use of guns or other rubber projectiles launchers.
