Tests of the modernized Novator armored vehicle have begun in Ukraine (video)
“Ukrainian Armor has announced that it has conducted non-state tests of the modernized Novator armored vehicle. All potential customers were invited to attend. This became known from Bogdan Petrov, who holds the position of chief designer at the company.
The top manager noted that the tests tested such characteristics of the armored vehicle as speed, efficiency and cross-country ability. Special attention was paid to the armored vehicle’s fire tests. The speed, efficiency, and cross-country ability of the new version of Novator turned out to be higher than expected. The car is capable of accelerating to 135 km/h. This is despite the fact that its landing gear can accommodate 10 people.
Two combat modules participated in the firing tests. The unified module can be armed with 12.7 mm M2 Browning machine guns, NSVT and DShK, as well as AGS. The manufacturer of the second module is Ukrainian Armor. It is already used by the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The company’s specialists decided to test the module for compatibility with the modified armored vehicle.
