Defence Blog reported that KrAZ-Shrek and KrAZ-Fiona vehicles underwent Ukrainian military preliminary trials and exercises in 2016, with Ministry of Defence personnel and battalion commanders test-driving them; the open-source record supports wartime evaluation and frontline-suitability interest rather than confirmed routine combat deployment.

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.
SpetsTechnoExport describes a V-hull MRAP based on the KrAZ-6322 chassis cab.
The official product page lists STANAG 4569 Level 2 ballistic protection and Level 2a/2b mine protection.
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.
