Sakb is an armoured command vehicle designed and manufactured in Pakistan by APC Factory of Heavy Industries Taxila (HIT). Based on the M113 armoured personnel carrier, the Sakb varies from the M113 mainly in size and shape, the idea being to make the Sakb an effective command post without compromising on mobility. The Sakb has an amphibious capability similar to the M113 and can climb a 60% gradient.
The vehicle is equipped with racks for fitting of C4I equipment, map boards, a table, a generator and an air conditioner.
