Description
The Z-STS Akhmat Russian 6x6 Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) was introduced in 2022 to meet the security needs of the Chechen security services, necessitating a rapidly producible and deployable transport solution. Built on the chassis of the KamAZ-5350 6x6 truck, the Z-STS utilizes a frame system instead of a monocoque body, simplifying production and enabling the interchangeability of different body types on the same chassis, albeit at the cost of reduced load-bearing capacity.
