Slovak CBRN Defender 130 Quadtech Shelter

History

Joint-Forces.com's survey of Slovak Armed Forces Defenders (MLR 54) photographed this Defender 130 at the IDEB 2023 defence exhibition in Bratislava. A 2008 Puma-engined double cab, it carries a Quadtech shelter body on the load bed — a box with lift-up side panels giving access to the racked detection and decontamination equipment of a specialist chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear team — together with a roof rack and amber beacon over the crew cab, a whip aerial, raised air intake, bumper winch and brush guard. The Slovak CBRN unit has deployed with NATO forces on operations.

The registry's model is a Defender 130 double cab in olive with the shelter box and its side hatch, cab rack and amber beacon, aerial, winch, black grille and lamp surrounds and the Slovak crest on the doors; in the game it carries the amber warning lights and winch pickups.
