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.: 90 km/h

Stronger than 53% of IFVs
Range Maximum distance: ferry range for aircraft, operational range for vehicles, maximum engagement distance for missiles. Higher means more standoff or persistence.: 600 km

Stronger than 53% of IFVs

Firepower

Armament, payload and guidance.

Main armament Primary weapon: main gun, cannon or missile type.: 12.7 mm machine gun (turret-mounted)
Caliber Bore diameter of the main gun or rifle. Larger throws heavier projectiles; not simply better — ammunition commonality matters.: 12.7 mm

Protection

Armor, countermeasures and survivability.

Armor Armor technology: composite, modular, ERA-fitted, uranium-ceramic. Exact compositions are classified.: Welded steel armor, STANAG level II
NBC protection Sealed crew compartment with overpressure filtration for nuclear/biological/chemical environments.: No

Physical

Dimensions, weight and crew.

Length Overall length including gun/probe where applicable.: 5.98 m
Combat weight Fully loaded weight. Lighter eases transport and bridging limits; heavier often means more armor.: 13,000 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.: 10

Stronger than 89% of IFVs

Propulsion

Engine, power and fuel.

Engine Powerplant model and type.: Renault turbo-diesel
Engine power Engine output power. Higher moves more weight faster.: 320 hp

Stronger than 29% of IFVs
Propulsion type Turbofan, turboshaft, diesel, gas turbine, solid-fuel rocket, ramjet…: Diesel (wheeled 6x6)

Program

Cost, production scale and operators.

Units built Total production run. Higher means proven manufacturing, mature logistics and spares availability.: 300

Stronger than 15% of IFVs
Operator countries Number of countries operating the system. More operators means broader support ecosystem.: 4

Stronger than 67% of IFVs
