Some more details about the Lazar, from Military today.com
( http://www.military-today.com/apc/lazar.htm )

“Vehicle has a welded steel hull. Front arc provides protection against 12.7-mm armor-piercing rounds and all-round protection is against 7.62-mm armor-piercing rounds and artillery shell splinters. The Lazar can be fitted with add-on composite armor, attached to the basic armor. Damaged add-on armor sections can be replaced in field conditions. Furthermore protection of this APC can be further enhanced with explosive reactive armor, which protects against RPG-7 rounds. NBC protection system is optional.”

“The Lazar is well protected against mines. Vehicle has a V-shaped hull and significant ground clearance. Seats are attached to the roof rather than floor. This armored personnel carrier can withstand 6 kg anti-tank mine blast under any wheel or floor.”

Interesting. Reminds me of the South African Ratel.
