The National Guard has received its first Varta-2 armored vehicles
The company “Ukrainian Armored Vehicles” delivered two specialized “Varta-2” MRAP-class armored vehicles to units of the Ukrainian National Guard. One of them was delivered to the 2nd Corps of the National Guard of Ukraine, “Charter,” and the other to a different National Guard unit.
This is the first batch of “Varta-2” armored vehicles with STANAG-3 protection level that the manufacturer has delivered to the Ukrainian National Guard.
The company emphasizes that the armored vehicle provides a high level of protection for the crew.
“The Varta-2 offers a high level of crew protection. The vehicle’s ballistic protection complies with STANAG 4569 Level 3, and its mine protection complies with STANAG 4569 Level 3a/3b. “Spaced armor, a V-shaped underbody, a floating floor, and energy-absorbing elements further enhance the level of protection for personnel,” the company stated.
The armored vehicle is equipped with independent suspension and has a ground clearance of 400 mm. It also features front and rear axle locks and an automatic tire inflation system.
According to the manufacturer, this allows the vehicle to navigate off-road terrain with confidence and overcome challenging terrain.
The armored vehicle’s design is modular, allowing it to be adapted for various missions.
The vehicle can be equipped with combat modules featuring weapons ranging in caliber from 7.62 to 30 mm. The design also allows for the installation of anti-drone grilles.
The company stated that it will soon deliver a new batch of “Varta-2” vehicles to the National Guard of Ukraine.
This was reported by the company.
