Earlier, in June, this armoured vehicle was shown to the head of the military department Sergey Shoygu. True, the vehicle was in an assembly shop without wheels then. The producers of the next-generation vehicle took account of the experience of the last decade’s actions, the manufacture and use of armoured vehicles with an enhanced mine-resistant defense system of the MRAP type.

KAMAZ-63969 is an all-wheel 6x6 armoured vehicle. The armour of the vehicle protects a crew from 14.5mm caliber bullets, B-32 armour-piercing shells and armour-piercing incendiary bullets, and also from an explosion of eight kilograms of trotyl under the vehicle. The armoured vehicle is meant for two crewmembers and ten paratroopers.
