History

The Fiona was first unveiled on August 28, 2015 at the International Defense Exhibition IDEX in the United Arab Emirates. [1]

In 2016, the Ukrainian military began testing both the Shrek and the Fiona as possible future additions to their inventory. [2]

Design

The Fiona shares many characteristics with the Shrek One. It is essentially a lengthened 6x6 version of the Shrek. [3]

The Fiona can also be equipped with a remotely controlled weapons station, armed with a 20mm autocannon and smoke grenade launchers.
