Armored vehicles

  • Multipurpose vehicle "Tigr-M"   The AMN-233114 and ASN-233115 special purpose armored vehicles are intended for transporting personnel and cargo, towing trailer systems, as well as mounting weapons and military equipment, while ensuring the required level of bullet (mine) protection. All the Tigr vehicle versions are designed to operate in any weather, day or night, and allow outdoor storage under the following conditions:
    • operating ambient temperatures of -50 to +50 °C;
    • dust content of the air of up to 1.5 g/m3 and wind speed of up to 20 m/s;
    • mountainous terrain (elevation above sea level up to 4,500 m and with a capability of negotiating 4,650 meter mountain passes) with a corresponding decline in towing and dynamic performance and fuel efficiency;
    • relative humidity of up to 98% at the temperatures of up to 25 °C;
    • precipitation rate of 180 mm/h;
    • integrated heat flux density of 1125 (0.027) W/m2 (cal/cm2•s).
      The armored vehicles combine the characteristics of an all-terrain vehicle and a speed maneuverable car. They use an independent torsion bar suspension, which makes it possible to attain the highest possible speed when driving on rough terrain, while maintaining a high level of comfort ride for the crew and on-board troops. The vehicles are fitted with a domestic diesel engine and manual 5-speed transmission. Both vehicles can tow a 2.5 ton trailer. The Tigr-M armored vehicle has an armored hull welded from steel sheets, which is fastened to the frame in ten points via rubber pads. All the windows and doors in the hull are provided with bulletproof glasses. The windshield bulletproof glasses are fitted with wipers, while the other bulletproof glasses are equipped with opening mechanisms that ensure the opening outward and upward with fixed positions. The Tigr-M’s design has incorporated numerous improvements aimed at enhancing its operating characteristics, reliability, ergonomics, bullet and mine protection. With its large interior volume, combined with high load-carrying capacity, protection and cross-country performance, the Tigr-M vehicle can be used as a platform for mounting a wide range of weapon systems, reconnaissance, communications, electronic warfare, and other equipment. The standard equipment of the vehicle includes: a central tire inflation system allowing the driver to adjust the tire pressure on the move, depending on the road conditions, an electric winch with a pulling force of 4,000 kg and a filtration unit. The armored hull of the multipurpose and special purpose vehicles provides all-round protection for the crew, main components and assemblies against 7.62mm PS bullets fired from the AKM assault rifle and 5.45mm PS bullets fired from the AK-74 assault rifle, which approximately corresponds to STANAG 4569 Protection Level 1. Special design solutions provide personnel protection (while maintaining high survivability and mobility) when 0.6 kg of explosive explodes under a wheel and/or under the vehicle bottom). There is a 594x594mm hatch with a cover in the central part of the AMN-233114’s hull roof. Technical systems and remote-controlled weapon stations intended for special tasks can be installed on the vehicle by agreement with the customer. There are stowage spaces for a radio set and an IED jammer. The features distinguishing the ASN-233115 from the AMN-233114 are as follows: reduced number of seats (6), a traverse platform mounted on the roof of the vehicle for mounting weapons, and special stowages in the vehicle for weapons, ammunition and weapon accessories.

  • Upgraded two-unit tracked amphibious transporter   The upgraded two-unit tracked amphibious transporters belong to a class of articulated vehicles and offer unique capabilities of moving over soft terrain (swamps, salt marshes, shifting sands, wetlands, dirt roads during the muddy season, etc), high towing performance, the ability to negotiate barriers and water obstacles at full load without preliminary preparation. The DT-10PM and DT-30PM are intended for transporting personnel, equipment and military hardware in the most challenging road and climate conditions, without prior reconnaissance and route reinforcement, as well as for mounting weapons and military hardware. The idea of an articulated vehicle is quite simple – to combine two transport platforms, fitted with active tracked running gears, into a single entity. The first unit accommodates a power plant with transmission and a cabin, while the second one carries a passenger/cargo compartment. The units of the transporter are articulated via a rotary coupling of unique design, which has three degrees of freedom. Rotation in the horizontal and vertical planes is done by means of power cylinders. When there are no control signals, vertical jack-knifing cylinders act as shock absorbers. Mutual rotation of the units occurs arbitrarily, depending on the sideways movement of the second unit. The units use all-welded watertight monocoque hulls, independent torsion bar suspension and rubberized-fabric belt-type tracks with metal grousers. The upgraded versions are fitted with an 800hp long-life fuel-efficient liquid-cooled high-speed turbocharged diesel and hydromechanical transmission. The chassis of the DT-10PM and DT-30PM transporters can be used for mounting various weapon systems and special process equipment. With their capability of bypassing jammed and damaged vehicles under difficult road conditions and approaching them from either direction, the two-unit transporters are indispensable as recovery vehicles.

  • Light-duty two-unit tracked transporter   Original design solutions, tried and tested in heavy-duty two-unit transporters, and vast experience of their operation have been incorporated in DT-3P, DT-5P, DT-7P light-duty two-unit transporters with a load capacity of 2 to 8 tons intended for use in the various sectors of the economy and equipping Russia’s EMERCOM (Ministry of Emergencies) units. Basically, their design does not differ from the heavy-duty two-unit transporters. The light-duty two-unit transporters are fitted with Cummins turbocharged diesel engines and Allison hydromechanical automatic transmissions. The use of a metal track with a metal-rubber mounting (MRM) in light-duty transporters has made it possible to significantly increase the maximum speed and operate them on public roads. At the same time they remain amphibious and are capable of crossing any obstacles in a similar manner. The DTP-3PSA fire-rescue system has been developed around the DT-3P two-unit transporter chassis to equip Russia’s EMERCOM units. The second unit of the transporter accommodates two modules: a fixed module with a self-contained electric power unit and various replaceable (firefighting, rescue, medical) modules. The latter are replaced using a hydraulic lift. A lineup of light-duty two-unit transporters with a capacity of 5 and 7 tons, equipped with a crane manipulator enabling mechanized cargo handling without the involvement of other lifting equipment, has been developed. They have found use in the oil and gas industry for cargo transportation in off-road terrain and also as a platform for mounting process equipment.

  • Taifun-K vehicle   The Taifun-K motor vehicles are designed to provide integrated logistics support to combined arms and special units, including peacekeeping formations, in various environments. They can be used to carry personnel and military cargos and serve as the basic chassis for mounting a variety of technical systems and weapons. The vehicles are available in the 6x6 (KAMAZ-63969) and 4x4 (KAMAZ-53949) wheel configurations, have high combat and operational characteristics (mobility, protection, fighting power, design and ergonomics). The KAMAZ-63969 and KAMAZ-53949 offer high steering capability, speed, off-road performance and maneuverability on all types of roads and terrain. The Taifun vehicles are capable of fording 1.50 meters without preparation and climbing a grade up to 30 degrees. Equipped with 350hp and 450hp diesel engines and automatic transmission systems, they attain a road speed of at least 100 km/h and can travel up to 1,000 km without refueling. A hydropneumatic suspension system used in all vehicles of the family ensures high ride comfort and effective vibration damping, allowing a change in the suspension stiffness characteristics, ground clearance and body position relative to the road surface, both in automatic and manual override modes. Ground clearance is automatically adjusted depending on vehicle speed, road pavement quality and person-specific driving style. The Taifun-K vehicles provide a high level of mine and ballistic protection. Special seats, along with others design features, reduce the negative effects on the crew and troops when a 8 kg TNT explosive device explodes under any wheel and anywhere under the bottom of the vehicle. A high level of ballistic protection is achieved through the use of “sandwich” armor consisting of inner conventional armor steel and new-generation outer ceramic armor. The Taifun-K vehicles share the common unitized automobile platform used in the KAMAZ family of tactical protected multipurpose all-wheel-drive medium- and heavy-duty vehicles and feature a high degree of commonality of components and assemblies within the family. The main differences typical of the new family of tactical protected multipurpose vehicles are as follows:
    • enhanced armoring, including mine protection of the chassis bottom against antipersonnel, anti-tank and improvised explosive devices;
    • increased power, reliability and fuel efficiency of the diesel engine;
