Ultimately, the AVGP Cougar turned out to be such a vehicle. At the same time, with the entry into the line of the new reconnaissance vehicle, there was a need to create a dedicated technical protection vehicle, which was just AVGP Husky. It was based on the chassis of the Swiss Piranha I 6x6 wheeled armoured personnel carrier. However, the truck was - unlike the original - equipped with a crane with a lifting capacity of up to 4.5 tons and a winch with a lifting capacity of up to 8 tons. The vehicle has the ability to overcome water obstacles without special preparation, and the drive in the water is provided by two thrusters.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Trumpeter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49111216980219,"sku":"9580208015064","price":629.95,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0436\/0398\/4552\/files\/Trumpeter-1-35-Canadian-Husky-6-6-APC-Improved-Version.jpg?v=1785223449","url":"https:\/\/jixhobbies.co.za\/products\/tru01506","provider":"Jix Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
