History

Developed in Thailand during the 2010s, the Yukthirath Mine-Protected Vehicle (MPV) was designed to provide local security forces with enhanced protection against improvised explosive devices (IEDs) during counter-insurgency operations in the southern border provinces. The armored personnel carrier entered limited service with the Royal Thai Army and paramilitary ranger units to serve as a specialized patrol and convoy escort platform. In operational deployments, the vehicle's V-shaped hull and armored plating proved effective at mitigating blast effects from roadside mines. Today, the Yukthirath remains in active service in niche security roles, representing an important step in Thailand's ongoing efforts to field domestically produced armored vehicles.
