"The sale is expected to ensure that Pakistan can effectively operate in hazardous areas."

A lighter and more mobile variant of the MaxxPro MRAP family, the MaxxPro Dash is designed to withstand ballistic arms fire, mine blasts and improvised explosive devices (IEDs), as well as other emerging threats on the battlefield.

The package includes spare and repair parts, support and test equipment, publications and technical documentation, personnel and equipment training, technical and logistics support services, as well as other related elements of logistical and programme support.

Approved by the US State Department, the sale is expected to ensure that Pakistan can effectively operate in hazardous areas in a safe, enhanced survivability vehicle, while improving the country’s interoperability with US forces.

Specifically, the sale will enable Pakistan to provide the same level of protection for its own forces as provided by the US to its forces.
