Armored car "IVECO 65E19WM" - Russian "Lynx"
History the creation of this vehicle begins with agreements between the Defense Ministry of Russia, KAMAZ and the Italian IVECO on the possibilities of using an armored army vehicle manufactured by IVECO in the units of the Russian Armed Forces signed in 2008. In 2009, KAMAZ purchases two armored Iveco LMV multifunctional vehicles for testing. The price of one car is almost 400 000 dollars. The main reason for the acquisition of these machines is the operation in more than 10 countries, good explosion protection and the interest of the top military leadership of Russia to this machine. At that time, there were no such machines in Russia that would satisfy the demands of the military. Although the same armored transporter BTR-90, created in 90-s and adopted for supply in 2008, the military refused to adopt, calling to the same unpromising machine. A foreign car without any tenders and full-fledged tests almost immediately put into operation the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.
We remember the indignation caused by this fact, which was supported by the tests, where the Italian machine loses to the domestic Tigra - the “Iveco LMV” test on the snowy off-road could not stand it and quietly crawled forward when the Gorky Tigr confidently “ran” the test site. Then the “interested” KAMAZ specialists justified that the bumper was too wide and there was practically no protection from the pallet. These identified errors they have eliminated in the following samples.
The tiger does not have increased protection class 6a in contrast to the "Iveco LMV". But at one time, the military did not make any demands on putting such protection before the Gorky designers. It can also be quickly installed and “put into service” a well-protected Tiger. After all, the Tiger model SMP-2, created for subdivisions of internal troops, already has the protection of the 5 class, and the military version remains without good armor - and after all, the Motherland serves together and is used in military conflicts.
But back to the Lynx. The situation with it became more and more intriguing - by 2010, we bought two more machines for testing (an assembly from KAMAZ). At the exhibitions “IVECO 65E19WM”, only with the Russian name “Lynx”, it is shown only in closed expositions, where the fate of many samples is usually decided. In 2011, a dozen more cars were bought, which were assembled at KAMAZ. However, almost immediately, KAMAZ refuses to participate in a joint project. According to the information provided to the public, the Italian company had problems with the license, because equipment and components are assembled in several countries. After that, the military department itself became a “conductor” of Iveco armored vehicles. In the autumn at the exhibition she appears under the “banners” of Oboronservis. But the “Lynx” was again unlucky, the armored car could not cope with the tests and just went around many obstacles.
According to the general director of KAMAZ, in principle, the Italian IVECO is a very worthy car. Of course, it required some modifications to the Russian reality, but this does not change the essence - the KamAZovsky “Lynx” armored car, and now the ministerial production is a very good vehicle for performing the required tasks. A well-known video about the undermining of an armored vehicle “IVECO”, to be honest, on the contrary, shows a reliable explosion-proof vehicle. After all, if people in the car suffered or even died, it was not from the fragments of a mine, but from the depressurization of the car (open door). We will look at the IVECO LMV vehicles that participated in real military conflicts, and those that did not return, there are problems with explosion protection and anti-bullet protection. In principle, it is impossible, of course, to turn light car in a heavy tank, but, if possible, to this we must strive. Today at the Voronezh Automobile and Repair Plant of the Russian Defense Ministry there is an assembly of Russian “Rysy”. The volume of work performed is very small - fastening cargo compartments, bonnet, winches and spare wheel. Disassembled cars are delivered to the factory by auto-trailers, two cars in one truck carrier. In the 2012 year, according to published plans, almost 60 machines will be assembled. In the future, they will collect more and more cars every year. By the year 2020, the armed forces of Russia will have to receive almost 1800 Rysya. If the situation does not change, Russia will be the owner of the largest fleet of Italian cars “IVECO LMV” called Lynx.
One thing is not clear: according to available information, the value of the contract is about one billion dollars. The cost of one machine "Lynx" more than 17 million rubles. This is despite the fact that the new "BTR-82" costs a little more than 20 million rubles. Armored Tiger costs a little more than 5 million rubles. I would like to hope that the top military leadership of Russia has finally begun to take care of ordinary soldiers and their comfort, and against the background of the Austrians, who also recently adopted the Iveco LMV, the price of the domestic Lynx seems quite acceptable - the cost of the Austrian LMV is more 850 thousand euros.
The indicative moment in our case is the comparative tests of 6 samples of armored vehicles in the United States, among which they will choose the best. But, by and large, in the absence of explosion-proof machines, the blame lies only on the Russian military department, which for some unknown reason did not analyze the current situation and the use of such machines in ongoing military conflicts, and did not give the task to the domestic military industrial complex to develop explosion-proof machines. Only recently began testing the "Bear" and "Typhoon", and do it before ....
The fate of the parts for the armored vehicle “Lynx” is interesting. It’s no secret that so far they are completely foreign-made (Germany and Italy), so in the end, the car is still more expensive (the footboard for the Lynx costs 30 thousand rubles, the body heater barrier 26 thousand rubles) - because the necessary parts are needed now and they cost hundreds one thousand dollars. In the near future, it is planned to create joint ventures for their production according to the formula 50X50 with Italian and German companies. It is possible that the customs duty on sets of machines and their components will be canceled, which will reduce the cost, but for now this is only the nearest prospects.
