Production
The first Kozak vehicle (also known as Kozak-1) first appeared on August 24, 2009 at the Independence Day of Ukraine military parade in Kyiv.[1]
Only two vehicles were manufactured[2] prior to March 2014.[3] The third vehicle (also known as "Kozak-2014") was built in November 2014 and was intended to be a proof of concept to address a growing requirement for a mobile MRAP.[4][5] In March 2015 the vehicle was armed with the NSV machine gun.[6]
Another variant, the Kozak-2, was built in 2015 and armed with an anti-tank guided missile system. It appeared at the 169th Training Centre in May 2015.[7]
The Ukrainian Defense Ministry conducted comparative tests of 11 armored vehicles from various manufacturers in early 2016, but only three of them, including the Kozak-2, passed the state tests, the Ministry said. The trials of the Kozak-2M1, an improved tactical version of the Kozak-2, continued from October 2018 to July 2019, during which time the vehicle was tested with over 50 techniques and in a simulated combat environment.[8]
The Defense Minister of Ukraine Stepan Poltorak on March 21, 2017 signed a decree officially adopting the "Kozak-2” into service.[9]
