UAE manufacturer enhances 4x4 and 6x6 vehicles, while also works on developing an armed UGV. Nimr exhibited its second-generation Ajban 4x4 and Hafeet 6x6 wheeled armoured military vehicles at IDEX 2021 in Abu Dhabi on 21-25 February. Featuring advanced blast mitigation (demonstrated for Ajban 445 Mk2 in recent landmine blast tests in the UAE) and ballistic protection, the new monocoque Ajban and Hafeet platforms ‘provide high levels of protection in the harshest of environments’, Nimr claimed in a statement. In particular, the Mk2 variants feature improved powerpack maintenance with the time needed to remove it reduced from 10h to 20 minutes; and payload capacity is doubled from 1.2t to 2.5t.
