Chaiseri to supply 34 CAESAR support vehicles to Malaysia

Thailand's Chaiseri and Thai Defense Industry signed an agreement with Malaysian company Shafleena on 20 October 2026 to provide 34 wheeled support vehicles for Malaysia's KNDS CAESAR Mk I 155 mm artillery programme. The package combines Chaiseri Jackal 4×4 armoured vehicles with 6×6 trucks for ammunition supply, forward repair, medium recovery and fire-control coordination. These vehicles will support Malaysia's planned CAESAR howitzers and are not additional artillery guns. Deliveries are expected to begin in 2027, with manufacturing activities in Thailand and Malaysia.
