Made by Saudi Groups. The videos are taken from South African testing facility where the company is testing this vehicle in. According to company sources so far 24 countries + the UN have issued a details request for it from the company.

And yes it is ALL Saudi made.

MRAPs are not exactly designed for Stealth operations.

We purchased the ARAVIS with ToT for the sole purpose of acquiring the SAFEPRO Armour technology which Nexter have patented which means that KSA companies can employ this tech in any future and current designed armored vehicle without infringement of patent copy rights. Al-MASMAK uses a SAFEPRO 2.1 armor technology which is a Saudi updated version of the technology.

[Mosamania]

Al-MASMAK is the safest and fastest MRAPC on the planet.

It looks good, i don't know how good compared to other APC's but it looks very nice, how i ever i noticed we are developing too many APC's maybe we should concetrate on two or three of them and work on other things.
