The Belarusian MZKT-5002 light tactical truck was unveiled for the first time to the public in 2013, during a military parade.

This new truck was especially designed to response to a request from the Belarussian border guards. The MZKT-5002 was presented at KADEX 2014 in 4x4 configuration, but it is also available in 6x6 chassis.

On July 25, 2013 a joint meeting of the Belarus State Military-Industrial Committee (hereinafter referred to as SMIC) and the State Border Committee (hereinafter referred to as SBC) was held. The reason was the need to resolve the issues of cooperation between the two agencies in the interests of equipping the Belarus SBC with modern weapons, military and special equipment. Further cooperation will be developed on the basis of the plan. The first known result is a new all-wheel drive special MZKT-5002 4×4, created by the order of State Border Committee of Belarus.

The front part of the truck is fitted with a 2 doors steel modular cab. The rear part of the truck can be used to carry military equipment or troops.

The MZKT-5002 is motorized with D245.30 4-cylinder turbocharged Diesel engine coupled to a manual transmission with 5-speed. The engine is located under the crew cab.

The top part of the crew cabin is equipped with a ring mount which can be armed with a light machine gun. Standard equipment of the MZKT-5002 includes winch for recovery or self-recovery, air conditioner, auxiliary heater, ABS, central tyre inflation system and runflat tyres.
