At a public debut in Malé, the Maldives National Defence Force showcased its new Ajban 4×4 armored vehicles, manufactured by NIMR Automotive under EDGE Group, reflecting expanding strategic cooperation with the United Arab Emirates. The delivered 442A variants are optimized for island terrain patrol, command roles, and rapid deployment across the country’s dispersed atolls.
These vehicles provide elevated survivability and mission flexibility for MNDF units, offering high-mobility response for both peacetime emergencies and security operations. The procurement underscores the Maldives’ focus on modernizing its military toolkit while deepening regional defense partnerships.
EDGE’s statement highlighted ongoing support for Maldivian missions and the shared objective of sustainable security solutions, positioning the Ajban line as a cornerstone of future defense collaborations in the Indian Ocean region.
