Kazakhstan orders additional Arlan vehicles
Kazakhstan Paramount Engineering (KPE) has received an order from the government of Kazakhstan for its Arlan advanced 4x4 mine-protected armoured personnel carrier, the company announced on 24 May.
The award follows the recent delivery of a large batch of Arlans to the Kazakhstan Special Forces by KPE.
Arlan is a localised version of Paramount’s Marauder. The company has started production on the new order with further deliveries expected during 2018-2019.
The Arlan armoured vehicle’s features include full anti-nuclear blast capabilities.
The vehicle has undergone testing in extreme conditions and environments across Kazakhstan. Its winterisation includes a new liquid heating system for the all-season-accommodating cabin – hosting a range of 100° Celsius, from minus 50 to plus 50° Celsius.
