On January 11, the Uzbek company Krantas Group and the Tutubinsky plant of metal structures reported on the intention to organize the production of military and specialized equipment on their own facilities. The project was presented to the President of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyev, and the first finished samples were later demonstrated during the day.
According to local publications, production will be organized in the city of Nurafshan Tashkent region on the square of 12 hectares. There is planned to make military equipment and special-purpose machines. For example, light-fertilized cars, tank trucks, trucks, tractors, garbage trucks, snow removal machines.
In total, the project is estimated at 55 million dollars. Most of the impressive amount will be bank loans: with the assistance of the National Bank of Uzbekistan, it is planned to receive $ 39 million. The remaining 16 million is NurafShon-Maxsus-Texnika's own infusion (Krantas Group Generator), which will be implemented by the project.
On January 12, as part of the visit of Shavkat Mirziyev, the first samples of military vehicles will be presented to the Academy of Armed Forces of Uzbekistan, which will be produced in new industries. In particular, Qulqon armored car, made, presumably on the Isuzu chassis (4 × 4). However, more detailed information about it.
In addition, the president demonstrated the Leggulic Baggi-like Tarlon car, made on the chassis from GAZ-3308 "Sadko". It is intended for the protection and maintenance of columns, sanitary transportation, engineering, radiation, chemical and biological intelligence and fire support.
The company's plans to produce 100 such cars every year, starting from 2021. And with the following - start producing 200 tank trucks for transportation of fuel, 500 trucks, 300 tractors, 400 garbage trucks, 100 snow removal machines, 20 fire trucks every year. The company expects to pay off in five years, since the estimated demand is 15 thousand units of equipment annually.
By the way, a curious fact. Tarlon armored car, first introduced in the summer of 2020, looks like a twin brother of Turkish machine Ejder Yalçın 4 × 4 manufactured by Nurol Makina.
A few years ago, the Ministry of Defense of Uzbekistan purchased Turkish armorAutomobile (already 24 pieces) and planned to establish their joint production in the country. But 2017 the case never moved from the dead point. Nurol Makina stated that he had no relation to Tarlon and that there could be a speech about joint serial production.
