Russian off-roaders are capable of everything

Not always the army can choose which territory to wage war on. And fighting takes place in swamps and deserts of various types, both on rough terrain and in the mountains. In difficult-to-reach places, not every machine can relatively easily travel along the necessary route. It was for this purpose that a technique was created that can move almost anywhere and in any weather. Military all-terrain vehicles of Russia are quite capable of accomplishing such a task and coping with the set goal. After all, cars with increased cross-country ability are used not only for the delivery of personnel or transportation of goods, but also for conducting rescue operations.

The armored car "Vodnik"

Back in the days of the USSR it was a kind of response to the American development of the Hummer. However, the changes taking place in the country forced to postpone the development and production of an armored car. These all-terrain vehicles of Russia appeared already in 1993. The Arzamas machine-building plant is engaged in manufacturing. This machine is not floating, but can overcome small water obstacles.

The armored car has a torsion suspension, power steering, a tire inflation system, the ability to disconnect the front drive. Equipped with a five-cylinder diesel or four-cylinder turbodiesel. Has a range of up to 1000 kilometers, can travel at a maximum speed of up to 120 km / h.

ATV for airborne troops

To date, new all-terrain vehicles of Russia can be represented by BRT "Otter". Developments began in 2006 with a special research and production center of the MSTU. Bauman. At the moment, only one copy is created, which is being tested. These all-terrain vehicles of Russia were conceived as floating, for a waterfall wheels should be used. As a result, the "Otter" received a specially designed water-carrier. The all-terrain vehicle is based on the KAMAZ platform.

So far, no weapons have been installed on the prototype, but if the machine is put into serial production and accepted into the arsenal of the Russian army, it will be equipped with a complex of weapons. For manning the fire from the passenger compartment in the body embrasures are provided. Also on the prototype is an armored body and a cabin.

Cross-country vehicle with a breaking frame - the newest tracked conveyor

Cross-country vehicles with a breaking frame for military needs are represented by the DT-3PB model. They are amphibians, are two-linked and move on caterpillars. Created specifically for very difficult areas with a view to reducing the load on the ground. These all-terrain vehicles of Russia on caterpillars were conceived for moving along the northern part of the Russian Federation.

The front link of the machine is a kind of power module with a power plant. The second link performs the functions of the active platform - it can accommodate any necessary module. These all-terrain vehicles are equipped with a YaMZ engine of 300 horsepower and can reach speeds of up to 55 km / h. The power reserve is designed for 500 kilometers. The remaining technical specifications are still unknown: as the development is new, the Ministry of Defense has not disclosed them yet.

The newest vehicle for border troops

On the test site, two cars are being tested, "Trakol-39294" with minimal differences in modifications. It is well known that one of them is floating. Of the technical characteristics that these all-terrain vehicles of Russia have, only a few are known to date. They are equipped with a gasoline engine ZMZ-4062.10 (up to 130 hp) or a Hyundai D4BF (83 hp), they can reach speeds of up to 70 km / h. The steering is equipped with a hydraulic booster. To overcome water obstacles are used wheels or water jet propulsion.

The all-wheel drive Typhoon

One of the achievements of the military-industrial complex is the all-terrain vehicles of Russia, represented by all-wheel drive KAMAZ "Typhoon". The first deliveries for the army began in 2013. The car has a wheelbase of 6 x 6, engine power is 290 liters. from. There are armored cab and body compartment. It is capable of carrying around 10 personnel, or special-purpose cargo, ammunition.

Almost all cars intended for the Russian army are superior in quality to imported counterparts. The same can be said about all-terrain vehicles - every year new developments are being made that take into account the shortcomings of previous models. Russia is becoming a powerful power, armed with powerful military equipment capable of carrying out the most difficult tasks. Only with such cars is it possible to effectively operate in global or local conflicts - after all, the success of a military operation depends on the possibility and speed of movement over difficult terrain.
