Details: It is noted that the Dzhura has a Toyota Land Cruiser 70 chassis, on which a specially designed armour capsule was installed, which provides a level of ballistic protection for personnel from small arms fire. The design of the armour capsule allows for the installation of a machine gun on the tourelle.

The Ministry of Defence said that the light armoured vehicle is compact and has a relatively low weight, which facilitates its cross-road ability. Ukrainian engineers have also strengthened the vehicle's suspension. The armoured vehicle has a range of more than 650 kilometres.
