Developed from a consignment of 100x "Type 0" Yashteritsa, purchased from Ukrep Vehicles by the Honourable Company in 1693 AN, the BK-V Heszlin, was an armoured half-track personnel carrier produced for ESB Cibola and the ESB-Kosaken-Brunïakis-Afzælt which required a long-range patrol vehicle of improved cross-country performance. The reworking of the vehicle chassis into a half-track configuration being a good test of the capabilities of the production lines put together by the ESB to support its operations on the continent of Cibola.
