President of Kenya Uhuru Kenyatta has unveiled the third batch of police vehicles and equipment acquired through the government’s leasing programme. That was reported by www.nation.co.ke.
Mr Kenyatta unveiled 525 vehicles, including 25 CS/VP3 «Bigfoot» armoured personnel carriers designed and manufactured by the Chinese Company Poly Technologies, at Uhuru Park in Nairobi, as part of the government’s police modernisation programme.
Description
The CS/VP3 is an APC armoured personnel carrier in the category of MRAP (Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected Vehicle) vehicle designed and manufactured by the Chinese Company Poly Technologies. The vehicle was unveiled at the DSA 2012, defence exhibition in Malaysia. With its new MRAP, Chinese defence industry responds to needs of modern armies as American and European defence industries since several years. MRAP vehicles were largely used during the war in Iraq and currently in Afghanistan. We can suppose that the Chinese MRAP vehicle CS/VP3 is cheaper than its American or European counterparts. The CS/VP3 is now in service with the police of Nigeria and Uganda.
