Plasan Sasa, an Israeli manufacturer of armor protection solutions for vehicles, unveiled the Yagu, the latest and lightest version of the SandCat Stormer family. The vehicle was revealed at the Expo Seguridad that took place in Mexico City at the end of April 2018.
According to Plasan's officials, the Yagu is an ultralight and super agile vehicle with a high level of protection. There is high demand for a light and agile vehicle with the dynamic attributes of a buggy, but invariably the need for protection is traded off in the interests of keeping the weight down. These unprotected vehicles end up unusable in dangerous areas and are often relegated to the role of runarounds on bases; disappointed soldiers have been known to call them "expensive golf carts."
The Yagu carries a crew of three with 360° protection against high-velocity threats with excellent situational awareness. According to Plasan, the vehicle is easily maneuverable in urban environments and highly mobile off-road. With the optional Remote Weapon Station, the combat vehicle can be used by Special Forces, border guards, or for counter-terror operations.
