The Fiona is a Ukrainian 6x6 MRAP developed jointly between the UAE-based STREIT Group and the Ukraine-based KrAZ company. The vehicle is a further development of the earlier KrAZ Shrek One,[1] and is named after the character of the same name in the 2001 animated film Shrek.
History
[edit]The Fiona was first unveiled on August 28, 2015 at the International Defense Exhibition IDEX in the United Arab Emirates.[1]
In 2016, the Ukrainian military began testing both the Shrek and the Fiona as possible future additions to their inventory.[2]
Design
[edit]The Fiona shares many characteristics with the Shrek One. It is essentially a lengthened 6x6 version of the Shrek.[3]
The Fiona can also be equipped with a remotely controlled weapons station, armed with a 20mm autocannon and smoke grenade launchers.
