The vehicle sustained significant damage, but the armored capsule withstood the blast, remaining intact and protecting the lives of the military personnel inside.

“As of now, the armored vehicle has been evacuated and handed over to the service team for repairs,” the company said on Facebook.

The Novator armored vehicle is based on the reinforced chassis of a Ford F-550 truck. Among its features, it is equipped with state-of-the-art blast-resistant seats that offer a high level of protection against explosions.

As noted by the company, whether in combat or on the toughest terrains, the Novator is designed to excel.
