Chelyabinsk tractor mastered the production of bulldozers for the Ministry of Defense

The Chelyabinsk Tractor Plant (LLC ChTZ-URALTRAC, part of Uralvagonzavod), under a contract with the Russian Defense Ministry, mastered the technology of welding armor plates for B12 tractors. The car will receive an armored cabin, hood elements, fuel tank and other components, reports press office enterprises.

According to the information, “the technological operation of welding armor plates is conducted by a so-called intermittent seam: five centimeters forward, then from the other side five centimeters towards the first seam.”

This is necessary to avoid overheating of the metal. “The work is carried out with the help of semi-automatic devices and requires special care and strict quality control. The main test is on armor hardness, for which a special hardness tester is used. A series of measurements is done on all major details, which ensures reliable control, ”the release says.

Enterprises performing welding works with heavy-duty special steels in the country can be counted on fingers. Our welders have been specially trained by specialists with extensive experience in similar work,

told the head of the assembly and welding shop Ivan Motorin.

The B12 armored bulldozer was presented at the Army-2017 forum.

According to the press service, “an armadillo tractor aroused great interest among representatives of a number of foreign armies and the Russian military, as in contrast to the bulldozer units used in the troops, which were created on the basis of the chassis tank, has a lower price, high efficiency and a long service life.

The car will receive an armored cabin, elements of the hood, fuel tank and other components!
But judging by the photo, Hydraulics is not protected at all, it’ll be interrupted! and it’s just a tractor!
And in general, the B-12 is a swamp rover on a wide caterpillar))))))

It would be necessary to install a couple more machine guns, and then you can send them to the combat zone.

[Logall]

And the blades!

In the swamps, anything can be found; without oxygen, everything is not badly stored there. Plus, a high carbon medium, one might say. Not a bad preservative.

[vasilev]

In the north, there are even wintering companies equipped with equipment that was taken out of the swamps, and it was not new in the Soviet era because of the bulldozer drowned in the swamp, but they sent a new one, and the drowned one remained in a quagmire.

... rarity !!!

Volodya, welcome The Americans have one such "frolic," they brought grandfather.

[siberalt]

Now this bulldozer can pave the way for tanks right during the fighting! Next will go armored excavators, cranes, dump trucks and other construction equipment.

[Artyom]

I don’t understand why the obstacle fighting vehicle is bad? Or decide to save?

[Waltasar]

The tasks and working conditions are different. In the BMR, raking the rubble for the passage of armored vehicles, they will be almost guaranteed to shoot, and in the armored tractor that equips the fortifications, how lucky.

Terminator B-12 succeed.

Flimsy bulldozers for work in a zone of intensive military operations. Israel should have learned from this point of view, there is practically a level of protection for MBT in bulldozers. Not in vain, by the way.

“The work is done with the help of semiautomatic devices and requires special care and strict quality control

Welding in carbon dioxide, TAM, commonplace and early in the USSR, where there was a large amount of welding work.
Looks like they are used to electrodes and tacks.

[askort154]

The effects of the Syrian war. There such bulldozers successfully use local "homemade products".

[klaus16]

Jihad bulldozer. You weigh with armor, stuff with broads and at full speed of 7 km / h rushing somewhere.))))

[Sharansky]

and when they laughed at the Ukrainians with their work ..

[klaus16]

Well Ukrainians then no one will surpass!

[Sharansky]

So Ukrainians worked in garages, and here the whole Chelyabinsk Tractor Plant, together with its design bureau, undertook. Outperformed the same.

They took over four years ago to Ukraine. When the UVZ Armor showed bulldozers at an exhibition in Nizhny Tagil, we bought three of them.

[igorka357]

It doesn’t matter what the Chelyabinsk Tractor did, it is important that he knows how, and your Ukrainians just sculpted tachanka hung in the garages in garages, they can’t do anything else!

[Sharansky]

Moderate your ardor, sir. ChTZ for a start is necessary with debts of 6 billion. to pay, and that’s the verge of bankruptcy and non-payment of salaries. Ukrainians probably stole money.

[igorka357]

And now we are laughing, and over the Ukrainians, and over this miracle-yudo ... one hit of a large-bulletin in the engine .. and this is a grave!

[Grits]

And again the experience of the Syrian war. As it turned out, bulldozers are almost on a par with tanks. And even in military reports when listing destroyed targets, they were announced along with tanks and other armored vehicles. Know you need.

[igorka357]

Bulldozer with an armored cab, no more, the engine is not fully protected, the hydraulics are completely naked .. way too ... nonsense!

[ROM1077]

excellent on this from the traffic cops run away
