The new face of the Arab "Tiger": Algeria chose armored vehicles from the UAE over Russian vehicles

AJBAN 447A


Currently, the Russian armored car "Tiger" is widely represented in reconnaissance and peacekeeping units, in the military police of the RF Armed Forces. However, initially it was created at the request of the UAE, where they hoped to get a product similar to the American Hummers. After the creation of the product in 2001, the Russian developer and the Arab customer broke off cooperation, after which each of them went their own way.

Since then, the UAE has established the production of armored vehicles under the Nimr brand (which also translates as "tiger"). To date, according to the website of the company of the same name, over 2,5 thousand units of equipment have been manufactured. At the same time, Nimr products do not stand still, constantly evolving.

The latest developments were presented at IDEX-2021, held in February in Abu Dhabi. They are said to belong to the second generation of Nimr armored vehicles, "which overshadows the first," the AJBAN 4x4 and the HAFEET 6x6, the new face of the Arab Tiger.

With increased explosion absorption and ballistic protection, the new platforms provide a high level of performance in the harshest conditions

- stated in the official press release.

As stated, the new platforms have full versatility (you can make changes to the platform even in the middle of production) and increased maintainability (for example, replacing an engine [Cummins 360 hp instead of 300 hp] instead of 10 hours requires only 20 minutes in version of AJBAN MK2).

As reported in the EDGE concern, which includes the Nimr company, the Algerian military has already become interested in the new line series, in connection with which it is planned to establish its own production of cars [apparently, assembly]. As a result, despite Moscow's efforts to promote its own products, Algeria preferred armored vehicles from the UAE to Russian vehicles, which became the progenitors of a new line of armored products.

Some modifications of the new family:

    Losing arms sales markets! Apparently, we need to change the approaches to the countries that buy weapons from us! Maybe there are problems in our logistics, maybe we don’t like the "export" version of this or that product, in any case, we need to find a solution to the problem so as not to lose potential customers like the same Algeria.

      By the way, after the first deliveries of the Armor to the Arabs, the entire batch was returned for improvements and replacement of the KAMAZ platform with an imported one.

        No need to spread fakes. For the Arabs, the original was an import platform based on the MAN under the Armor.

            That is, living 5 km from the plant, judge by passing samples or have an insider at the plant? I live 5 km from the Sokol plant, but it is impossible to judge from which party they are and for whom they are intended by the MiG-31s ​​that fly by now and then. But a former colleague who works at this plant can tell about something.
            And yes, in all publications about "Pantsir-S1E", including on this site from 2012, it is mentioned that it was originally developed on the MAN platform. The car shown by you in the photo is similar to the basic exhibition version.

            Rather, in your photo, judging by the antenna, there is a later exhibition sample from the MAKS-2017 exhibition. At the time of delivery in the UAE, there was an earlier radar station, shown in my picture of the base model. Pay attention to the difference between the raised antenna in my picture and the lowered one on yours. So do not mislead the venerable public.

              Listen, you don’t understand the hints, then I’ll say this, half of my stud. group works at a manufacturing plant, while I worked at a related one.
              So all of the business trips to the customer did not get out. I repeat once again, the first batch of the KAMAZ platform, then the Arabs demanded only MAN.
              Here they are in the workshop

                Well, the fact that when delivering new equipment to the troops, breeders do not get out of business trips to the place of delivery - this is a well-known fact. Childhood diseases manifest themselves for a long time. Well, if half of your student group works at that plant, then you probably know that employees of service departments in general and for maintenance and repair of samples that have been in service for a long time. The same "Tungusok" and, do not believe, even the ancient P-18 radar cabins! According to your logic, it turns out that all our equipment is shit, moreover, since Soviet times, since breeders do not get out of business trips in parts fool hi

        I visited the factory a couple of times, they always said that the rich Arabs initially order on the basis of MAN, because it is interesting and logical for them to serve one base, and the poor are accustomed to their diversity, and no one twitches from KAMAZ. hi

          There are two factories. The Arabs were forced into Kamaz, but they constantly broke down, and the complexes were damp, so the locksmith was repaired, readjusted and installed on Manov platforms around the clock. The photo above shows that in the workshop the MAN cabin is of the same color, and the complex is already in the "desert". After that, only MAN was done, only that was a long time ago. hi laughing

      Competition. There you are either on horseback or under it. The thing is that she was buried and is now elected for political reasons or for possible sanctions. One must look at things sensibly. We are not just losing markets, but we are being pushed out of them. Sanctions, laws, pressure. And nothing can be done about it. Business in the sense that it was no longer exists. The world has changed. Now they choose not according to performance characteristics, but according to concepts. These are now the rules ... Now either changes in the world order or war. There are simply no other options
