An image of an armored reconnaissance vehicle appeared in the Internet, which is in service with the battalion of counter-terrorist special forces TURAN. Nearby also captured one of the most popular vehicles of the Syrian army - GAZ-3308 "Sadko", reports Messenger of Mordovia.

For the first time, “Shots”, also known as BPM-97, were seen in Syria in the autumn of 2015. “However, unlike the car in the photo, then the equipment did not have any weapons - the first to get to the“ hot spot ”were samples of the earliest modifications,” the newspaper notes.

More modern versions of the machine, as a rule, are equipped with a 12,7-mm machine gun "Kord" or 30-mm automatic grenade launcher AG-17 "Flame".

The weight of an armored vehicle is about 10,5 tons, its capacity is 8 paratroopers plus a crew of 2's.

The machine is equipped with an engine power 240 hp, maximum speed - up to 90 km / h, power reserve - 1100 km.

Armored cars of the “Shot” family are used by both the regular army of the SAR and allied volunteer forces fighting against terrorists.

The review is really over. In addition, the platform "Shot" as a biaxial armored car, did not show outstanding results.

And this is a picture from an article on the same site, only from 2011.

Especially uncomfortable landing and landing of the driver and commander in their places, there in sportswear sits down and it is inconvenient to get out, not to mention the armor with other ammunition and weapons.

The TURAN counter-terrorism battalion is the Russian PMC or, nevertheless, an allied unit of the SAA. They write a lot about him on the Internet, but it is not clear what the truth is. The feeling is that some kind of formation is being hidden behind the smoke screen from the special forces of the Russian army, or the Republic of Ingushetia, or the “Kadyrovtsy”. Although the equipment shown is not the latest version, but everything related to the Russian armed forces. Interesting to know.

PMCs from veterans of special forces of the Russian Federation

mainly Muslims work in Turan (with all the consequences, not necessarily the Kadyrovites) .. the contingent of the military police in Syria was mainly staffed by people from the North Caucasus who know Arabic ... and that’s the work efficiency ... ..but in Wagner ... and retirees and just wanting to earn

For private use, of course, expensive. But for military purposes, I do not think it is more expensive than foreign counterparts! Maybe even cheaper !!!

But the AK and T-72 in Syria are not seen?
It feels like some article authors adhere to the principle of "walking small but often"

A typical BTR -40, only with an amendment of 50 years. Interestingly, and his gas tank is also under the seat, like his grandfather? If 40 stone fences were punched, and concrete ones fell, then it’s easy for BMP to turn it over or enter the house.
