It is not always possible for an army to choose which territory to wage war on. And you have to fight in swamps, and deserts of various types, and on rough terrain, and in the mountains. In difficult places, not every car will be able to drive along the required route relatively unhindered. It was for this that equipment was created that can move on almost any terrain and in any weather. Military all-terrain vehicles of Russia are quite capable of performing such a task and coping with the goal. After all, off-road vehicles are used not only for the delivery of personnel or transportation of goods, but also for rescue operations.

Armored car "Vodnik"

Back in the days of the USSR, it was a kind of response to the American development of the Hummer car. However, the changes taking place in the country forced the development and production of an armored car to be postponed. 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 navigate small waterbarriers.

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

All-terrain vehicle for airborne troops

Today, new all-terrain vehicles of Russia can be presented by BRM "Vydra". Development began in 2006 by the Research and Production Center for Special Purposes of the Moscow State Technical University. Bauman. At the moment, only one copy has been created, which is being tested. These all-terrain vehicles of Russia were conceived as floating, wheels were to be used for navigation. As a result, "Vydra" received a specially designed waterway propulsion unit. The all-terrain vehicle itself was created on the basis of the KAMAZ platform.

So far, no weapons have been installed on the prototype, but if the machine is put into mass production and adopted by the Russian army, it will be equipped with a weapon system. Loopholes are provided in the back for personnel to fire from the passenger compartment. An armored body and cab are also installed on the prototype.

Breaking Frame All-Terrain Vehicle - Latest Tracked Transporter

Russian all-terrain vehicles with a breaking frame for military needs are represented by the DT-3PB model. They are amphibians, are two-link and move on caterpillars. Designed specifically forvery impassable regions in order to reduce the load on the ground. These all-terrain vehicles of Russia on caterpillars were conceived to move around the northern part of the Russian Federation.

The front link of the machine is a kind of energy module with a power plant. The second link performs the functions of an active platform - any necessary module can be placed on it. These all-terrain vehicles of Russia 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 rest of the specifications are still unknown: since the development is new, the Ministry of Defense has not yet disclosed them.

The latest vehicle for the border troops

Two Trekol-39294 vehicles with minimal differences in modification are being tested at the test site. It is known for sure that one of them is floating. Of the technical characteristics that these all-terrain vehicles of Russia have, only a few are known today. They are equipped with a ZMZ-4062.10 gasoline engine (up to 130 hp) or a Hyundai D4BF (power 83 hp), they are capable of speeds up to 70 km/h. The steering is equipped with a hydraulic booster. To overcome water obstacles, wheels or a water jet are used.

4WD Typhoon

One of the achievements of the military-industrial complex is the all-terrain vehicles of Russia, represented by all-wheel drive KAMAZ "Typhoon". Its first deliveries to the army began in 2013. The car has a wheelbase of 6 x 6, engine power is 290 liters. With. Armoredcabin and body compartment. Capable of transporting about 10 personnel or special-purpose cargo, ammunition.

Practically all vehicles 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 carried out that take into account the shortcomings of previous models. Russia is becoming a powerful power, armed with powerful military equipment capable of performing the most complex tasks. Only with such vehicles is it possible to effectively act in global or local conflicts - after all, the success of a military operation often depends on the possibility and speed of movement over difficult terrain.
