Mamba Mk7

Osprea Logistics presents the Mamba Mk7, the latest version of its legendary Mamba Mk5 APC, built in the USA. With more power, innovative tactical capacities, advanced technology, upgraded armor protection, US components and manufacture, the Mamba Mk7 is the most cost-efficient APC built in North America.

The latest version of the legendary Mamba armored vehicle – the Mamba Mk7 – builds on the proven success of Osprea’s previous Mambas, the Mk5 and Mk5 Iveco, and now provides even higher degrees of ballistic and mine-blast protection, excellent mobility and more maneuverability than ever before.

The Mamba was one of the most successful wheeled vehicles designed to protect multi-role forces operating in mine-threatened environments. Thousands of Mamba vehicles have been built, and most are still in service in military, policing and peacekeeping operations, across Africa and the world, and spawning many variants in extensive use by US and NATO forces, such as the RG-31, RG-32 and RG-33
