New Gen AWVs on Display

: May 23, 2018 - : 4:40 pm

Kazakhstan Paramount Engineering is showcasing its new generation armoured wheeled vehicles (AWV) at the KADEX 2018. “We are displaying armoured vehicles of Barys family, with 6х6 and 8х8 wheel arrangement, and also Arlan and Alan armoured vehicles with 4х4 wheel arrangement,” an official at the local joint venture firm tells Daily News.

 

If Barys 8×8 at the previous exhibition KADEX-2016 was demonstrated with a Russian 57 mm automatic cannon on the AU-220M remote weapon station, this year the AWV appears with a remote weapon station from the Kazakhstan manufacturer KAE LLP.

 

During two years of trials, Barys 8×8 underwent several design, technical and tactical changes, says the official. After carrying out development work for two years, Barys 6×6 is being presented with a unified combat compartment with stabilized cannon-machine-gun armament of the BTR 82-A.

 

Kazakhstani armoured vehicle Arlan in different versions are also on display for the first time for the general public. Arlan with the SARP remote weapon station as well as with the SARP-S modernized remote weapon station with a paired 7.62 mm PKT machine gun, are being showcased. In addition, there is Arlan with reconnaissance equipment. The vehicle is designed to perform various tasks, including law enforcement, special forces and special response teams’ operations, assurance of internal security, patrolling of borders and resolution of armed conflicts.

 

The plant is successfully fulfilling the government orders on supply of Arlan and Alan AWVs for the Ministry of Defence of the Republic of Kazakhstan, as well as other law enforcement agencies of the country, the official says.

 

According to reports, the Kazakh Minister of the Defence and Aerospace Industry, Beibut Atamkulov, recently said that the country had received 60 Arlans to date, with a further 30 vehicles to be delivered in 2019. Arlan armoured wheeled vehicles that were passed into service of the Kazakhstani army are also being demonstrated at the training range during the exhibition.
