Full specifications

Performance

Speed, range, altitude and engagement capability.

Performance specifications
Max speed Maximum level speed. For aircraft this is at optimal altitude; for ground vehicles, top road speed. Higher means faster response and better kinematic performance.	110 km/h Stronger than 89% of IFVs
Range Maximum distance: ferry range for aircraft, operational range for vehicles, maximum engagement distance for missiles. Higher means more standoff or persistence.	700 km Stronger than 72% of IFVs

Protection

Armor, countermeasures and survivability.

Protection specifications
Armor Armor technology: composite, modular, ERA-fitted, uranium-ceramic. Exact compositions are classified.	STANAG 4569 ballistic + mine protection
NBC protection Sealed crew compartment with overpressure filtration for nuclear/biological/chemical environments.	Yes

Physical

Dimensions, weight and crew.

Physical specifications
Length Overall length including gun/probe where applicable.	6.3 m
Width Overall width, matters for rail/road transport of vehicles.	2.5 m
Height Overall height. Lower profile is harder to spot and hit for ground vehicles.	2.4 m
Combat weight Fully loaded weight. Lighter eases transport and bridging limits; heavier often means more armor.	16,500 kg
Crew Personnel required to operate. Fewer reduces exposure; autoloaders trade a loader for mechanical complexity.	2
Troop capacity Number of embarked troops/passengers (IFV, APC, transport). Higher carries more.	9 Stronger than 75% of IFVs

Propulsion

Engine, power and fuel.

Propulsion specifications
Engine Powerplant model and type.	Turbo-diesel
Engine power Engine output power. Higher moves more weight faster.	375 hp Stronger than 36% of IFVs
Propulsion type Turbofan, turboshaft, diesel, gas turbine, solid-fuel rocket, ramjet…	Diesel

Program

Cost, production scale and operators.

Program specifications
Operator countries Number of countries operating the system. More operators means broader support ecosystem.	13 Stronger than 87% of IFVs
