Alvis Vickers
|

Designed for armored scout
and liaison missions, SCARAB armored vehicle is equipped with a powerful
automotive system to provide speed and agility. The vehicle uses a 6,370cc
OM906LA 240hp Mercedes Benz 6 cylinder diesel engine and an Allison MD 3560 six
speed automatic transmission. At a maximum battle weight of 11.1 tons and a
payload capacity of 2.5 tons, Scarab offers high protection level. The basic
protection offers all-round 7.62 AP protection and mine protection, including AT
mines, including self-forging fragments mines such as the TMRP-6. Additional
appliqué armor can enhance the protection level to withstand medium cannon
rounds. The vehicle can be configured to meet changing requirements, such as
airborne operations, border patrols, and reconnaissance and armored command
vehicles.
