Malaysia equips Tarantula HMAV 4x4 vehicle with Turkish Aselsan 12.7mm weapon station to hit targets 1,500 meters away

Malaysia has equipped its Tarantula HMAV 4x4 armored vehicle with a stabilized 12.7mm remote weapon station from Aselsan, extending its engagement range beyond 1,500 meters and allowing it to strike threats before they can effectively return fire. This significantly improves convoy protection and patrol survivability by expanding the vehicle’s defensive perimeter and reducing exposure to small-arms ambushes. Read full defense news at this link...

With an RCWS, fire is conducted entirely from within the vehicle, which reduces exposure from continuous to zero during ambushes, which historically targeted exposed gunners during convoy operations in Iraq and Afghanistan between 2003 and 2012. (Picture source: Army Recognition)
