Belarus to showcase new light armoured vehicle at IDEX 2021
Belarus’ special chassis maker MZKT will showcase its new light armoured 5-seater vehicle MZKT-490101 during the upcoming International Defense Exhibition & Conference (IDEX) weapons expo in Dubai.
Light armoured vehicle MZKT-490101 is all-wheel drive; it has a 4×4 wheel arrangement and steering wheels of the first axle. The carrying capacity is 1,800 kg.
The new vehicle specially designed for export customers.
In addition to using an imported engine, transmission and transfer case, light armoured vehicle MZKT-490101 has multiple unique technical solutions. Disc brakes with Knott calipers (Germany) are used on the light chassis. In the chassis of the vehicle, bridge-type hubs with an additional gearbox are used and allow increasing the ground clearance and cross-country ability.
The 490101 light armoured vehicle has a unique independent suspension system with spring elastic elements and silent blocks that ensures stability and smoothness of the ride. A high cross-country ability is achieved by the availability of an all-wheel drive with the possibility of forced locking of differentials, high ground clearance – not less than 450 mm, as well as the availability of a tire pressure control system. The designers of MZKT OJSC applied a scheme where the air supply channels are built into the wheel disk and protected from damage from the outside. The wheels are equipped with Runflat inserts.

The hull of the light armoured vehicle is 4-door, monolithic all-welded and is made of Miilux armoured steel. The light armoured vehicle provides Br4 protection level in accordance with 34282-2017 GOST standard, but the presented sample has a set of additional modular armour, which increases the level of ballistic protection to level 2 according to STANAG 4569, the anti-mine protection is 2a/2b according to STANAG 4569. If necessary, the level of protection can be adjusted by removal/installation of modular armour. The vehicle is equipped with 5 energy-absorbing seats, a raised floor, and an anti-mine sump made of special steel.

Inside the armoured capsule for the comfort of the crew, there are heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems, as well as an independent exhaust fan. The hull is equipped with arm support for mounting weapons for the crew, and the doors are equipped with loopholes. A rotating hatch is installed on the roof of the hull and can be replaced with a firing module.

Arquus to showcase Scarabee light armored vehicle at IDEX 2021
Per an Arquus press release, the French armoured vehicle manufacturer will be showing up at the International Defense Exhibition & Conference (IDEX) weapons expo in Dubai with a next generation light, armored 4×4 vehicle designed for reconnaissance, scouting and support missions.
The company will present the new Scarabée vehicle, which was designed in partnership with French SMEs and start-ups (95% French suppliers).
The Scarabee is designed specifically to facilitate the collaborative work. Its interior layout, designed to accommodate four people, is intended to allow optimal communication between crew members, reinforced by the Battlenet vetronics system. Seated in a forward central position, the pilot benefits from a 270° direct vision.
The Scarabee’s architecture was specifically thought to facilitate the maintenance in operations, with an easily removable power pack and a simple access to all components for all-day operations.
The Scarabee is equipped with an evolutive, ballistic and mine protection depending on the mission profile. Designed for collaborative combat, the Scarabée is able to carry a wide array of systems such as multi-purpose RCWS, multi-caliber cannon, RGL cameras, MMP (or MILAN) launchers, anti-drone systems, radar…
The Scarabee is able to operate with two different clearance levels: high, for off-roads mobility, and low, for stand-by or air transport. It is equipped with an independent rear drive, which allows for a minimal steering radius and offers extreme mobility in urban environment, or in combat in cluttered zones. It is capable of moving in “crab” motion, offering several unprecedented tactical options.

Thanks to its very compact size, equivalent to that of the VB2L, the Scarabee is air transportable (C-130, Chinook, A400M). Air droppable, the Scarabée is compatible with the LTCO12 platform. In this configuration, it can be ready to fight within 15 minutes after the drop, according to operational standards.
The sliding side doors allow continuity of access during the airlift, enabling to complete the vehicle’s configuration directly inside the aircraft, which increases the speed of projection.
It is capable of performing air landed assault missions, with personnel on board and weapons ready according to standards, allowing the securing of strategic points. It can thus ensure the capture of advanced positions, and the securing of airstrips, ahead of the airborne or airtransported units. Thanks to its high mobility, it can also guarantee the units’ safety on the rear or the flanks.
In addition, earlier in June 2018, Arquus officials said that Scarabee is to be proposed for the French Armed Forces VBAE program, part of the Scorpion global modernization initiative. Also, Arquus is expected to market the Scarabee to export markets in Eastern Europe and Africa where a number of nations have requirements for new 4×4 vehicles.

The developers of the latest Russian T-14 Armata tank have resolved the problems with its engines and thermal imagers, Manturov said. “Yes, the problems with both the engines and the thermal imagers have been resolved. The engine generates the parameters and the technical characteristics that were laid out in the performance specifications upon its designing,” he said.
“As for the thermal imagers, I can confidently say that we have a fully import-substituted Russian product that is made by Shvabe [holding],” the minister said.
The Armata’s trials in the troops are proceeding in accordance with the schedule, the minister said.
The Armata is a heavy tracked standardized platform serving as the basis to develop a main battle tank, an infantry fighting vehicle, an armored personnel carrier and some other armored vehicles. The T-14 tank based on the Armata platform was shown to the public for the first time at Red Square’s Victory Day parade on May 9, 2015.

John Cockerill Defense showcases its latest products at IDEX 2021
Belgium’s John Cockerill Defense (previously CMI Defence) showcased at the IDEX 2021 defense exhibition in Abu Dhabi its latest innovative products.
John Cockerill Defense is presenting at IDEX 2021 its new products which combine modularity, reliability and high performance: the Cockerill 1030 and the Cockerill CLWS.
The Cockerill 1030 is a new concept of multi-role turret which combines power and lightness.
This turret is based on the huge experience acquired with all the Cockerill products and with more than 600 units fitted with Mk44S gun delivered and more than 1000 turrets now in service in the world.
As noted by the company, this experience, coupled with high level of expertise in turret development and quality standards, guarantees a high level of reliability and performance in terms of precision, stabilization, integration.
The up-to-date electronic architecture is also common to new CPWS Gen. 2 and offers digital technology and an open architecture that allows the integration of multiple sights, AT missiles, smoke grenades launchers, while being manufacturer agnostic.
Also, John Cockerill Defense is presenting at IDEX and for the first time in the Middle East, its new Cockerill CLWS.
John Cockerill Defense is expanding its product range by offering its new modular stabilised turret (Remote Weapon System) to equip light armoured vehicles (4×4, 6×6,…) while integrating significant fire power through a range of calibres such as 25mm, 30x113mm, 12.7mm, coax 7.62mm, rockets and anti-tank guided missiles.
The 140 rounds of ready-to-fire ammunition (25mm) and 200 for the coaxial machine gun make it an ideal system for missions requiring high mobility. Its low mass (±600kg) and compact design (height < 600mm with gun-linked optics) make it possible to benefit from a low silhouette and limited mass for all types of light armoured vehicles.
Modularity, the strong point of John Cockerill Defense products, enables the Cockerill CLWS tobe configured in different variants according to the missions and to integrate various equipment to increase knowledge of the environment and active defence through gun-linked or panoramic optics (360°), LWS, SGL, APS,… Armouring of the main functions is also proposed.
In addition, innovative under-armour reloading from below the system and through the armoured vehicle makes it a system combining firepower, protection, lightness and modularity.
Iveco unveils Medium Tactical Vehicle at IDEX 2021
The Italian armoured vehicles specialist Iveco Defence Vehicles unveiled the new Medium Tactical Vehicle (MTV) at the International Defense Exhibition and Conference (IDEX), in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.
For the first time, the IVECO has showcased its newest armoured vehicle as to the future infantry mobility vehicle for the Dutch Armed Forces and international defense market.
The Iveco Defence Vehicles’ MTV is designed to combine high tactical 4×4 mobility, optimal off-road performance and high crew protection, together with an excellent payload capability.
Outstanding modularity and system integration capabilities are guaranteed across all range variants such as hardtop, soft top, pick up, casualty transport and personnel transport, in order to support all different Military users, from Army to Marines, Navy, Air Force, Special Operational Units and Military Police.
High reliability, ease of maintenance and low through life cycle costs were core requirements during the design of MTV, guiding the choice of the main assemblies towards components with proven performance and reliability over many millions of kilometers in the most diversified and demanding environmental conditions.
The utility variant consists of a pick-up with an armoured cabin, and various utility modules on the rear section. 550 non-armoured logistic modules will be produced by Dutch Military Vehicles, a subsidiary of IVECO Schouten. DMV will produce cargo-beds in four different versions, including modules for mobile workshops and command vehicles

Ukrainian new combat drone makes international debut at IDEX 2021
Ukraine’s military export agency, Ukrspecexport, unveiled the Sokil-300 unmanned combat aerial vehicle at the biennial International Defence Exhibition and Conference (IDEX).
The Sokil-300 (Falcon-300) is a strike drone developed by the Kyiv-based LUCH Design Bureau. It is a surveillance and reconnaissance unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) developing for the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
The Sokil-300 drone is armed with four guided missiles with a range of up to 10 km. It can carry a maximum payload of 300 kg, has a maximum takeoff load of 1,225 kg, and can attain a maximum speed of 335 km/h. The drone has a wingspan of 14m and a length of 8.57m.
As noted by the LUCH, the baseline version of UAV includes the MC-500B engine manufactured by Zaporizhia-based Motor Sich and an advanced version features the Austrian, turbo-charged Rotax 914 engine with a maximum flight time of 26 hours, a distance of 3,300 kilometers (2,050 miles).
In addition, earlier in November 2020, LUCH’s chief designer, Oleh Korostyliov, said that total development costs of the Sokil-300 are expected to reach 40-45 million Ukrainian hryvnias ($1.4-1.6 million), a far less expensive option than purchasing similar drone systems abroad.
