The ISV is powered by a 6.7L six cylinder diesel engine, combined with a six- speed automatic transmission and full independent suspension as standard to provide excellent mobility on road terrains. According to Oliver Cribben-Pearse, Sales Communication Manager for NIMR, the ISV displayed at the stand is fully equipped with 360° view cameras capable of infrared and night vision, IED protection armour and can be equip with smoke grenade launchers. One of the most interesting non-lethal weapons equipped at the roof of the ISV is the “Sonic Weapon”.

In June 2015, the company’s management dismissed the director of the Maly- shev plant for the failure to fulfil the Oplot production plans. For this end, Ukrobo- ronprom said private enterprises were en- gaged in the production of the tanks as the concern’s own production capacities are Ukroboronprom Tanks insufficient.

The weapon is installed to fire through the aircraft’s left hand paratroop door, and is capable of a maximum rate of 4,000 rounds/min. Financial backing for the development comes from the Italian defence ministry’s research and development department, in accordance with the nation’s special forces requirements for airborne precision and long-endurance fire support. A prototype system was delivered to the Italian air force’s flight test facility in Pratica di Mare last October 2014 for certification with the C-27J.
