Patriot armored vehicle

The armored vehicle is based on the Tatra Force chassis. The first version was introduced in 2017, and in 2019, an improved Patriot II modification appeared with reinforced armor, a longer body, and a more powerful Cummins or Tatra engine.

Its technical characteristics allow it to carry up to 7 people with a total weight of up to 17.5 tons, reaching speeds of up to 110 km/h on the highway. The level of protection according to the STANAG 4569 standard can vary from second to fourth, which provides resistance to shelling and mine explosions.
