MSV's Tygra

MSV's Tygra

Built-in our own vehicle lab, Tygra is one of our proud products. We used Toyota 79 Series chassis for Tygra design. Tygra is suitable for urban and cross-country patrol, border security and personnel movement situations(APC). Military units and their fire support can easily equip Tygra with multi-purpose weapon systems. Remotely controlled weapon module is a great option, typical examples are 7.62 mm and 12.7 mm machine guns. Installation of active and passive protection units on the vehicle is relatively easy. On the other hand, peace support missions can also benefit from the incredible armoring of Tygra, in conflict-zones. One of the great advantages of using MSV's Tygra is, it keeps heavily dressed troops from overheating in high temperatures of deserts by using dual air-conditioners.

Tygra - Interior 

Tygra provides ample room for a driver, commander and up to 6 crew members. And there is enough room for tactical gear too. Tygra comes in various body configurations and provides protection against assault rifles in levels similar to CEN 1063/1522/BR6/FB6, BR7/FB7 and against 2 x DM51 hand grenade's under-the-floor explosions. V-shaped hull can withstand blasts equivalent to 8 kg of TNT anywhere under it. 7.62 x 39 mm armor-piercing rounds can only test Tygra, but never infiltrate it.

High-quality armor steel and glass that can withstand 7.62 x 51 mm M80 Nato Ball ammunitions* and 5.56 x 45 mm SS109 ammunitions**, protect all four sides of the passenger compartments and roof of the vehicle. In addition to the opaque areas, the transparent areas which are coated with multilayered polycarbonate can withstand any of the following weapon's ammunition***

• Calibre 7.62 x 39 mm, FJ/PB/FeC, AK 47 Kalashnikov 

• Calibre 5.56 x 45 mm, FJ/PB/SCP, M16 Colt 

• Calibre 7.62 x 51 mm, FJ/PB/SC, (FN) “FAL” / “LAR” NATO rifle

MSV's Tygra

The floor of the vehicle can prevail against two DM 51(German Norm) detonated simultaneously. The armoring itself is a complete self-supporting structure, crafted to the base vehicle chassis in place of the original bodywork, creating a unitary protection cell for its passengers. The main armour frame extends along secondary armour components such as the doors, windows, roof hatches and gun ports, etc.

A unique armored personnel carrier, that's what we can put into words for Tygra. It provides immense protection against military grade threats. However, Tygra manages to give tremendous comfort for its passengers, unlike any other vehicle in its league. Engineers of Mezcal Security Vehicles produced a magnificent vehicle with the best intentions to provide the finest security solutions convenient to buyers. Check out our Tygra.
