Feedback from a potential customer has prompted South African firm Milkor to alter the design of its privately funded 4x4 APC.
South African company Milkor has refined its eponymous privately developed 4x4 APC with some design changes following feedback from a potential unnamed customer.
Changes included twin doors at the rear with folding steps to allow for rapid entry and exit. The 12t Milkor APC is also slightly longer with a redesigned front but the vehicle retains the V-shaped lower hull for maximum protection against mines and IEDs.
