Uzbekistan's Military Scientific and Technical Institute has confirmed the evaluation of the Chinese VN22 6×6 armored vehicle, designed by Norinco for troop transport and combat support. The VN22 features armor resistant to 14.5 mm rounds and a V-shaped hull for mine protection, and its presence indicates Uzbekistan's increasing defense imports from China, potentially signaling future procurement or local assembly initiatives.
