Special Forces Airborne received pickups on the basis of the car "UAZ Patriot"

The 45 Special Operations Brigade of the Airborne Forces stationed in the Moscow Region received about 20 special vehicles based on the UAZ Patriot pickup, the press service of the Russian Defense Ministry reports.

All-terrain vehicles that appeared in service in a separate special-purpose airborne unit are capable of carrying heavy-caliber machine guns, automatic grenade launchers, anti-tank guided missile systems and conventional small arms in their bodies.

- it is spoken in the official statement of the military department.

Local conflicts in the Middle East have shown that the so-called "carts" - high-speed and car pickups with mortars, anti-aircraft installations and machine guns - are ideal for making rapid raids and special operations.

The appearance of this type of transport at the special forces of the Airborne Forces will significantly increase the mobility of reconnaissance groups operating far from the main landing forces.

- stated in the Department of Information and Mass Communications of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation.

The combat experience of using such mobile tools is now taken into account worldwide. An interesting development of this direction, just like in the civilian - combat carts with machine guns .....

[Shurik70]

Well yes. In Syria, these showed themselves very well.
I wonder why an open pickup rather than a fully enclosed light armored car-all-terrain vehicle with a machine gun turret? Maybe because it is easier to evacuate from such a platform, I jumped into a ditch, do not get out through the hatch?
The same carts from poverty created. They have more maneuverability of the then (and many current) armored cars, easier maintenance (greased the wheels with tar, that's all maintenance), price, availability. But they quickly went down in history with the development of technology.

[AlexKP]

Probably because it’s cheaper, easier to maintain, it’s easier to transfer some kind of transport via railway or BTA.

This thing is twofold.
Sometimes special forces do use cheap “carts”. Having bought them on the spot. and after completing tasks also in place and throwing.
This can be called partly “from poverty”
But specialized machines, in fact, are very, very expensive, since they are created with the expectation of air transport, which requires expensive materials

[dzvero]

It’s quite a niche for the incarnation of wedges of the 30s. And what, firepower is quite at a level, and you don’t have to drag a lot of things on the hump ...

[Bomb]

This experience since the time of the Second World War. Only then, instead of wheelbarrows were motorcycles with wheelchairs.

Normal preparation for the presidential election. Everything will be tiki farts.

The analysis is about nothing. The appearance of the carts at the Barmaleans is primarily due to the lack of financial capabilities at the beginning of the battles. And then to tactical considerations. After the capture of Syria, we perfectly see the Barmaleevs and the MLRS system, tanks, towed artillery.

[DarkMatter]

In general, as far as I understand here, an analysis of the appearance of wheelbarrows in our country, what were the reasons and why they are needed.
About barmaley there was no analysis that "they chose Toyota because they didn’t have enough tanks", it is said that they have them and they extremely skillfully used them. Moreover, there are no contrasts between cars and MLRS, each vehicle has its own application, pluses and minuses.
It seems that you yourself voiced some thesis, attributed it to the authors, and then triumphantly dispelled it))

Dissect on Little Russian steppes - the very thing

in desert camouflage, judging by the photo ??? not ... it's prepared for Syria ...

[x.andvlad]

This photo is from the UVZ exposition at Army 2016. This year, UAZs were also presented in normal color with mounted machine gun turrets in the back.

[d ^ Amir]

Well, alas .. I was not able to visit ...

[Settlement Oparyshev]

And the OSCE will pat on the head. Do not own the situation.

[Holoy]

It would be better if the entire leadership of the Moscow Region and the General Staff were seated for the Volga!

[AlexKP]

Better for what? Will the combat power of the generals rise by 100 points?

I am afraid of UAZs in our Army and especially the Tigers ...

[vel1163]

Kapets! Poor paratroopers. I have the misfortune to be the owner of this creation of our automobile industry. I can only sympathize. For three years of operation, I broke 4 axle shafts in a level place on level ground. And they have a duralumin fork

[zoomIZH]

UAZ is rubbish that has not been learned to do in 50 years. And the problem is not in the design, but in the quality of the parts. Our MO needs to purchase commercially successful models. In Syria, they drive on Toyota, Nissans and Mitsubishi. UAZ will fall apart from recoil Dshk or mortar

[x.andvlad]

Hmm, UAZ with Toyota or Nissan is difficult to equal. In this comparison, for UAZ - only a low price.

[faiver]

depending on which UAZ is a patriot? full crap
I’d better develop the 469 range further, and without electronics ...

[Cadet]

I do not know about Nissan and Toyota pickups, but the Mitsubishi L200 car, although very reliable, is less comfortable and less passable compared to the Patriot.

[Settlement Oparyshev]

We hope for military acceptance. I hope that diesel drives.

[Lopatov]

Y-yes ...
Okay, I’m not sorry for the infantry. But her preparation is relatively cheap.
But the death of one commando, I'm afraid, eats up all the savings from using cheap instead of a normal car.

[AlexKP]

Well, let's say the British spend not small amounts on the CAC operative, and they ride on non-armored vehicles and do not particularly want to ride on armored vehicles.

[Lopatov]

Quote: AlexKP

and they ride on non-armored vehicles and don't particularly want to ride on armored vehicles.

Well, these are their problems. Tradition is holy. In addition, their cars like the Jackal - things are very, very expensive. So it’s not worth talking about savings, as in the case of ours.

[rocket757]

I have the illusion that military representatives will look after the quality of the product ... in the USSR, these guys greatly complicated the life of negligent industrialists.
Old army "goats" are still found and even very tuned very nice!
Although money, gifts, temptation ... where are they honest servants?

"Patriot" somehow does not pull on military equipment. (Not the same in his appearance) It was necessary to at least change the rubber for it, the all-terrain vehicle or something, to add brutality, so to speak.

[Vitas]

There is one question. Why is the patriot not Russian-speaking ?!

[weksha50]

"The appearance of this type of transport in the special forces of the airborne forces will significantly increase the mobility of reconnaissance groups operating at a distance from the main landing forces"...

Well, it’s also useful for ordinary motorized rifle formations and units ... Quickly transfer machine guns-mortars-ATGMs to certain directions ...
In general, the barmalei, unwillingly, contributed to the development of modern military operations, which will now be used by the Armed forces of different countries ...

[Vadmir]

This is not development, but degradation, from poverty and hopelessness. These carts killed more members of their crews than the enemy. And with a stable and organized defense, they are generally useless.
The only place where they can be used is in the rear, for the quick transfer of troops and weapons, but even in this case the armor will not hurt.

[Glory1974]

About 45 special vehicles created on the basis of the UAZ Patriot pickup truck arrived at the units of the 20 Special Operations Brigade deployed in the Moscow Region.

I think in their right mind and sober memory no one is going to fight on these machines. Ordinary transport vehicles of the GAZ-66 level. But they have not been produced for a long time, there are no spare parts to find. And these will completely replace them, and even smaller in size, it is easier to transfer aircraft.

[Vadmir]

Local conflicts in the Middle East have shown that the so-called "carts" - high-speed and car pickups with mortars, anti-aircraft installations and machine guns - are ideal for making rapid raids and special operations.

These conflicts have shown that human life in the Middle East costs very little, do not be like these barbarians and take an example from them.

[Div Divich]

An extra-comfort cabin has been drawn by special forces ...

It would be better to use a small hoodless one, then the body volume will increase much, it will be possible to put more shells ...

It is not necessary to use an engine instead of armor, the engine must spin the wheels, and specially designed armor must carry out the protection. At the expense of protection against mines, on such a machine you will not survive regardless of the location of the cabin. From mines, you can use a set of measures: seats with amortization, helmets, body armor, spring-loaded ceiling and walls, and other means similar to airbags. It is strange that in combat vehicles there are no airbags from explosions ...

[uporov65]

The idea of ​​using civilian equipment for military purposes deserves attention, and it can be used only in cases of extreme necessity (for example, by re-equipping civilian equipment in the conflict zone). And to be like this, then in my opinion it is too much. In the end, we don’t consider the possibility of equipping the Airborne Forces with hunting rifles
