"Falcatus"

Recently, the first images of the new Centurion armored car, designed for Russian special forces, appeared on social networks.

He is most likely a new version of Falcatus, also known as the Punisher

- says the Army Recognition publication, discussing the novelty.

The 4x4 vehicle with a pronounced angular design is distinguished by a special arrangement of the windshield, probably for reasons of ballistic protection. The body has sloping sides, presumably to repel attacking ammunition. The design includes four doors, each of which is equipped with individual loopholes, and an aft exit that allows the transported fighters to safely land.

The vehicle is equipped with a 360-degree video surveillance system, increasing awareness of the combat situation. The full technical characteristics of the Centurion have not been disclosed, however, judging by its purpose and design, it should have bulletproof and mine protection. It can also be assumed that the BA is equipped with a powerful engine and reinforced suspension to ensure high-speed movement across various types of terrain.

There are constructive parallels between the Centurion and the Falcatus, an already well–known armored car used by the FSB for more than 10 years. They share common design elements such as the armor structure, the location of firing points, providing all-round visibility and the presence of numerous doors

- it is noted in the Western press.
