Egypt plans to purchase 50 Tigr (Tiger) armored vehicles for its Interior Ministry, Military Industrial Company’s CEO Alexander Krasovitsky told TASS at the Army-2017 forum.
"Yes, work is under way. The issue concerns 50 vehicles and we will probably sign a contract in the near future," Krasovitsky said.
Defence Blog adds that the Tigr is a multi-role, all-terrain light special armored car designed by police and defense forces. The Tigr is operational with the Russian Interior Ministry, National Guard and other law enforcement and armed services.
The Tigr is produced in a wide-range of variants for a number of applications. GAZ-2975 is the military variant of the GAZ-2330 Tigr, and the GAZ-233001 is an unarmored version developed for the civilian market.
GAZ-233034 and GAZ-233036 SPM-2 are multi-role armored police vehicles designed for the police and law enforcement agencies. The SPM-2 offers a NATO STANAG 4569 level 2 ballistic protection.
