Ukrainian Armor has rolled out two new armored vehicles built to carry troops through a fight: a fast, lightly protected carrier and a heavier mine-resistant MRAP. The company showed the Saihak-1 and the Varta 3 at the MSPO 2026 defense expo in Poland, Oboronka reports.

The two vehicles cover opposite ends of the same need — moving soldiers safely — with a light scout at one end and a heavily armored MRAP at the other. Both are built to NATO's STANAG 4569 protection standards. They were displayed at MSPO, a major European defense fair in Kielce.

The Saihak-1 trades armor for speed

The first of them is the Saihak-1, the lighter of the two, its hull rated to the Ukrainian PZSA 3 ballistic standard that is enough to stop standard 5.45×39 and 7.62×39 rounds. It has STANAG Level 1 mine protection against anti-personnel mines and fragments.

A 240-horsepower diesel and four-wheel drive push it to 140 km/h, with an 80-liter tank giving a range of about 600 kilometers. It seats a crew of two and three more troops, and carries front and rear cameras, automatic fire suppression, run-flat tires, and climate control. The company says it doubles as a disaster- and accident-response vehicle.

The Varta 3 shrugs off mines

The another one is the Varta 3. Its hull meets the higher PZSA 6 standard, stopping armor-piercing 7.62×54 rounds, and its STANAG Level 3a/3b mine protection is rated to survive a blast of up to eight kilograms of explosive. A 326-horsepower diesel and automatic transmission move a vehicle weighing up to 14,800 kilograms at up to 100 km/h, carrying two crew and eight troops on mine-resistant seats.

It adds communications and navigation gear, video surveillance, air filtration, run-flat tires, and automatic fire suppression, and can mount either a rotating machine-gun platform or a remotely operated weapon station.
