LANGKAWI: Behind its compact and rugged design, the country's first high mobility light tactical vehicle (HMLTV) Ribat holds an extraordinary story of determination, courage and the capability of local talent willing to take great risks for the advancement of the country's defence industry.
Fully designed by Mildef International Technologies Sdn Bhd (Mildef), the armoured vehicle is not just a symbol of physical strength, but also reflects the perseverance of a local company in creating a defence asset which, it was assumed all these while, could only be produced by advanced countries.
