The Center for the operation of ground-based space infrastructure, together with the design bureau Motor, carried out tests of a KAMAZ-78504 tractor unit designed to tow trailers loaded from 90 to 165 tons. At the same time, tests of a semi-trailer were carried out, in which heavy ballistic missiles can be transported and delivered to mines, reports N + 1.
The development of KAMAZ-79504 and semitrailer for it is carried out in the framework of the project "Platform-O". The program provides for the creation of a family of vehicles that will be used in the troops as strategic rocket complexes, including heavy ones, for transporting military equipment, carriers of mobile hostels, communications centers, command posts and headquarters.
Tests of the KAMAZ-78504 truck tractor with the 8х8 wheel formula and the semi-trailer were carried out in Volzhsk in the Republic of Mari El. It is argued that they were recognized as successful and that the new machine may soon be adopted by the arms of Russia. Other details regarding the tests of technology are not given, and its technical characteristics are not disclosed. It is known that the truck tractor received all the swivel wheels. This increases the maneuverability of the machine, allowing it to move sideways or turn around with a small radius.
In turn, the semi-trailer received a partial power take-off system from the power plant of the tractor, thanks to which the drive and its wheels are realized. The semi-trailer with a loading and charging installation is equipped with a remote control and can function autonomously, loading and unloading carriers. The drive of the mobile elements of the semi-trailer is hydraulic, including the drive of the coupling device with the tractor and the locking system near the rocket shaft. The KamAZ-78504 machine was first publicly demonstrated at the 9 Victory Parade in May 2017.
