“At the request of the Defense Ministry and special forces, the height of the car is reduced to 2.6 m, which makes “KAMRAT” one of the lowest armored personnel carriers in the MRAP class in the world,” said Alexander Kuzma, the director of “Ukrainian armor” LLC. – The new armored vehicle combines reliable mine protection, high level of protection against small arms and at the same time has small dimensions. Such tactical and technical characteristics are in high demand in the Special Forces of the Marines, Air Forces, Land Forces, as well as Special Operations Forces. “

“KAMRAT” can be equipped with a “Sarmat” (12.7 mm caliber) combat module, “Corsar” anti-tank missile system (107 mm caliber) or a “Skif” (130 mm and 152 mm caliber).
