I am pleased to report that the Wheeled Universal Armored Platform (WUAP) has completed exhaustive field trials with the Border Troops of Krasny-Volny. This vehicle type has exceeded expectations during trials, especially during stress testing of the chassis. As configured for the IFV and fitter roles, the WUAP has been approved for service with the Border Troops. However, the personnel involved in the trials expressed a preference for a turreted weapons system and heavier armament for the WUAP in the APC role. Our Ministry of Defense noticed that the catalogue entry for this vehicle mentioned this possibility, and would like to request a turret fitted with a heavy machine gun, along with a co-axial machine gun.
We are unaware if Schwerpunkt Arms currently offers such an option for the WUAP, but if so, would like to request two APCs fitted with a weapons system matching our specifications be showcased and delivered for further trials.
The results of the trials with this vehicle type have been attached in this communique, for your discretion.
Yours sincerely, ( Image) Konstantin Zaripov Director: Procurements, Krasny-Volnan Ministry of Defense |
