For military equipment of Russia will develop impenetrable wheels

Experts of the Research and Development Institute of Steel develop fighting wheels for military equipment. About this magazine "Arms Export" said Director General of the Research Institute Dmitry Kupryunin.

In our institute, we undertake initiative development to increase the survival rate of military equipment. In particular, the so-called fighting wheels. With a small lesion weapons or undermining a mine wheel retains its performance and allows you to continue to perform the tasks or leave the affected area. And if the existing developments in the world of airless wheels are mainly designed for low-speed equipment or with a small load capacity, then our wheel is designed for a load of 4000 kgf and speeds up to 80 km / h

- noted Dmitry Kupryunin.

Steel Research Institute successfully develops and dynamic protection for armored vehicles. Already produced modern "Monolith" for tank T-14. Here, another principle is used to create a counteraction: high-energy material, in which the minimum volume of explosives. This reduces the risk of defeating infantry located near the tank.

In addition, these materials reduce the mass of the entire defense of the tank, and also counteract even such a perfect anti-tank missile system like the Kornet. This is a big step forward.

is it a monolith or malachite?

What garbage. What other "new developments". All this is a long time ago invented.
The very first “tires” were simply solid rubber tows. "Dutiki" appeared much later.
This has been repeatedly returned to, especially in military and all-terrain vehicles. And do not apply widely solely due to the weak depreciation properties of solid cast.
Now a new direction has appeared - “tubeless”. There are also many prospects, but they are not suitable for armored vehicles, they do not hold a large load. But for the commander UAZ - just right.
Something I doubt that you can put on a tubeless tank

Initiative developments are being conducted at our institute to increase the survival of military equipment. In particular, the so-called resistant wheels. In case of defeat by small arms or undermining in a mine, the wheel retains its operability and allows you to continue to complete tasks or to leave the affected area. And if the existing developments in the world of airless wheels are mainly designed for low-speed equipment or with a small load capacity, then our wheel is designed for a load of 4000 kgf and a speed of up to 80 km / h

If it works out, then the thing will be worthwhile.

[MoJloT]

Good luck anyway

In the photo, the semi-axis unscrews probably will fly

[Herculesic]

Or maybe the central gear will be changed!

“Impossible wheels” - where is the sacred “having no analogues in the world”? It is impossible to create a completely impenetrable wheel, but it is possible to create a very expensive wheel with increased survivability.

This topic is as old as a car. You can also develop inflatable wheels for concept tanks, which will never appear in the army. "Extra" money comes from the inability to develop truly necessary systems.

Such an invention is for the citizen itself. We don’t need to drive along our roads, only this way the tires fly off and are expensive, and changing to minus fifty in the forest in general ...

[your1970]

and you will ride at speeds of 40-50 km / h, no more? All variations of such wheels do not accept speed more ...
