MIDS- Midlum Security and Public Order Vehicle Renault Trucks Defense
October 21, 2011, armyrecognition.com
On behalf of the Ministry of the Interior, the Egyptian Defence Ministry has just ordered 18 armoured Sherpa light Scouts and 2 MIDS (Midlum Security), new armoured vehicles intended for law enforcement operations.
The new MIDS 4x2 – security and law enforcement Midlum – is designed around the Midlum truck. It offers a high level of armour protection for the 12 men transported. This vehicle was developed to enable the on-board personnel to conduct lengthy missions (large volume body) while providing them with a good picture of the tactical environment (seated facing outwards). Unlike many of its competitors in this field, the MIDS offers good manoeuvrability in an urban environment, with a turning radius of less than 14 metres, thanks to a short wheelbase. The MIDS is presented for the first time at the Milipol Paris show.
