It offers ballistic and land mine protection to troops and paramilitary forces in rugged terrain. With capacity to carry 18 troops with full gear, the vehicle can withstand blasts of up to 21 kg equivalent of TNT under any wheel and 14 kg equivalent of TNT directly underneath the crew compartment. It features a V-shaped, steel monocoque hull which directs the force of the blast away from the occupants.[2]
