Ever since the war in Afghanistan, KamAZ has been used as military equipment. In 1980, the KamAZ-4310 military was put into serial production. The Kama Automobile Plant presents a view of an army universal truck. The military KamAZ is equipped with a V-shaped 8-cylinder diesel engine with a power of 210 hp. With. and all-wheel drive on all three axles. Transmission 10-speed, has a range of t. (tractive effort) - 14, 43. The center differential enters the gearbox circuit. Also, the military KAMAZ is equipped with an automatic tire pressure control system. Such a system allows for auto-inflation while the vehicle is moving in case of a bullet hit in the tire.
KAMAZ tests
After the military KamAZ was accepted into serial production, the tests of the car did not end, but probably just started. Based on the indicators of laboratory and road tests, we continued to refine the design. To the delight of the customer, the carrying capacity of KamAZ was increased by 1000 kg. The experience of using cars in Afghanistan showed that it is necessary to increase the amount of oil in the unit - they increased it. And since then, the military KamAZ, making a many-kilometer steep climb, has not experienced “oil starvation.”
Changebumper on KamAZ
Early models 4310 and 43105 had the disadvantage of a "civilian" bumper. Towing "fangs" were installed under it. When the truck became out of order for some reason, the front bumper had to be removed in order to be able to install a rigid hitch with the tractor. And in the event of a collision with an obstacle or in a head-on collision, the cabin was inevitably deformed.
The designers of the Kama Automobile Plant took this into account, and since 1984, the all-wheel drive military KamAZ received a new bumper, which, unlike the “civilian”, was pushed forward by 310 mm and towing eyes were installed on it. In the future, this type of bumper was used on the 4 x 6 model, but the mounting brackets were changed.
Modernization of the truck was made in 1989 (increased engine power up to 220 hp). The upgraded model received the designation - 43101. The military KamAZ became the progenitor of civilian modifications - these are: KamAZ-43105 and 43106. Both models have been produced since 1989. Chassis 4310 is produced by the AA-600 fire truck, which is used in aviation units of the aircraft at airfields.
Relatively new KAMAZ military: Typhoon photo
The production history of this KamAZ family dates back to 2010. The Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation approved the concept for the development of the automotive structure of military equipment for the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation for the period up to 2020. The concept provides for the production of armored vehicles, or rather, the development of families of highunification. As a result, a single cargo platform "Typhoon" is being created. This technique has a high degree of protection against land mines and small arms. On the basis of the Typhoon platform, multi-purpose equipment is mounted and any modifications of equipment are created, such as:
- MAS - mobile artillery systems;
- communication service vehicles;
- army truck cranes;
- drone launchers;
- tow trucks and many other items of military equipment.
