Full specifications
Performance
Speed, range, altitude and engagement capability.
- 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.
- 100 km/h Stronger than 69% of IFVs
- Range
Maximum distance: ferry range for aircraft, operational range for vehicles, maximum engagement distance for missiles. Higher means more standoff or persistence.
- 1,000 km Top 3% of IFVs
Firepower
Armament, payload and guidance.
- Main armament
Primary weapon: main gun, cannon or missile type.
- 30 mm ZSSW-30 remote turret cannon
- Secondary armament
Additional weapons: coaxial MG, remote weapon station, gun pods.
- 7.62 mm coaxial machine gun
- Caliber
Bore diameter of the main gun or rifle. Larger throws heavier projectiles; not simply better — ammunition commonality matters.
- 30 mm
Protection
Armor, countermeasures and survivability.
- Armor
Armor technology: composite, modular, ERA-fitted, uranium-ceramic. Exact compositions are classified.
- Welded steel with modular add-on armor
- NBC protection
Sealed crew compartment with overpressure filtration for nuclear/biological/chemical environments.
- Yes
Physical
Dimensions, weight and crew.
- Length
Overall length including gun/probe where applicable.
- 7.7 m
- Width
Overall width — matters for rail/road transport of vehicles.
- 2.8 m
- Height
Overall height. Lower profile is harder to spot and hit for ground vehicles.
- 2.63 m
- Combat weight
Fully loaded weight. Lighter eases transport and bridging limits; heavier often means more armor.
- 24,000 kg
- Crew
Personnel required to operate. Fewer reduces exposure; autoloaders trade a loader for mechanical complexity.
- 3
- Troop capacity
Number of embarked troops/passengers (IFV, APC, transport). Higher carries more.
- 8 Stronger than 62% of IFVs
Propulsion
Engine, power and fuel.
- Engine
Powerplant model and type.
- Scania DI12 diesel
- Engine power
Engine output power. Higher moves more weight faster.
- 483 hp Stronger than 49% of IFVs
- Propulsion type

- Diesel
Sensors & avionics
Radar, sensor suite and datalinks.
- Thermal imaging
Thermal sights for night and obscured-visibility operations.
- Yes
Program
Cost, production scale and operators.
- Units built
Total production run. Higher means proven manufacturing, mature logistics and spares availability.
- 900 Stronger than 47% of IFVs
- Operator countries
Number of countries operating the system. More operators means broader support ecosystem.
- 1 Stronger than 23% of IFVs
