Burraq ((ウルドゥー語: براق )) is a Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) Vehicle currently being developed by Heavy Industries Taxila (HIT) of Pakistan.〔 It is a 4x4 Protected vehicle based on the chassis of the Isuzu NPS-75 commercial truck so as to reduce the cost and facilitate the delivery of spare parts. In appearance, the Burraq is quite similar to the Wildcat MRAP, developed by the Israel Military Industries (IMI). == Development == Heavy Industries Taxila (HIT) commenced the development of the Burraq MRAP in 2009 to meet Pakistan Army's requirement for cheaper Mine Resistant Ambush Protected Vehicle's as lack of financial resources hampered its plans to acquire protected vehicles from United States, Germany and Turkey.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.strategypage.com/htmw/htarm/articles/20110210.aspx )〕 The Burraq was first seen on Pakistan state media briefly in February 2010.〔 In June 2011, International Defence Review reported that five prototypes / pre-production models of the Burraq MRAP were completed for trails & development work by Heavy Industries Taxila. On 19 March 2013, Heavy Industries Taxila (HIT) announced that its Burraq MRAP Vehicle was nearing the end of its prototype phase and would be unveiled in next three to four months.〔 In October 2013, a spokesman of Heavy Industries Taxila said, “Burraq is on hold,” but gave no reason. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Burraq MRAP vehicle」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
