It is not just a armored personnel carrier - it is a real rescuer of soldiers of 2 airmobile battalion 81 UAEMBR," the soldiers say about the technique.

The armor protects the staff from the debris and fire of small arms, and high patency and speed allow you to overcome the dangerous areas as quickly as possible. The team emphasizes that technique, like Puma is not a luxury, it is a vital resource. Puma is a family of Italian lightwear armored vehicles that covers Puma 6 × 6 and Puma 4 × 4. The machines were designed and produced by the Iveco Fiat - Oto Melara Consortium for Italy's Land Forces.
The first prototypes were produced in 1988, and by 1990, five experimental machines were produced. Initially, Puma was envisaged as a supplement to the wheel fighter of the Centauro B1 tanks, which is in service with the Italian Cavalry Regiments, but today most infantry regiments of Italy's land troops are also equipped with Puma machines.
