KrAZ Fiona

Also known as
  • KrAZ-MPV Fiona
  • KrAZ-6322 Fiona
  • KrAZ Feona
  • Fiona-APC

The KrAZ Fiona is a 6x6 mine-resistant armored personnel carrier developed around the KrAZ-6322 truck chassis by Kremenchug Automobile Plant with STREIT Group involvement. Official export data presents it as a V-hull protected-mobility vehicle for patrol, convoy escort, troop transport, command-and-control, and medical-evacuation configurations; open reporting supports Ukrainian military test and evaluation during the Russia-Ukraine War, but not a standardized battlefield fleet.

Protection And Mission Fit

The Fiona sits in the heavy protected-mobility lane of Ukraine's KrAZ armored-vehicle family. Its public evidence is strongest for design, export marketing, demonstrations, and Ukrainian military trials, so its conflict row is limited to wartime evaluation rather than confirmed combat deployment.

Hull basis

SpetsTechnoExport describes a V-hull MRAP based on the KrAZ-6322 chassis cab.

Protection class

The official product page lists STANAG 4569 Level 2 ballistic protection and Level 2a/2b mine protection.

Mission options

Official export wording covers mounted infantry movement, patrol, convoy support, escort, command-and-control, and medical evacuation configurations.

Variants

Public sources use Fiona and Feona spellings for the same KrAZ-6322-based 6x6 MRAP, while later exhibition photos show an armed configuration with a roof combat module.
