Who will buy the Ukrainian Mongoose?

The Ukrainian concern Ukroboronprom announces a new development of the Nikolaev armored plant that is part of it. We are talking about the Mongoose combat reconnaissance vehicle. Today it was presented at the ongoing exhibition “Weapon and security. "

"Mongoose" - two-axle armored vehicle 4х4, which is intended both for the implementation of reconnaissance in force, and for fire support of combat units. It has an independent torsion bar suspension. The power plant of the Ukrainian "Mongoose" is the engine of the company IVECO.

Maximum speed BRM on the highway - 100 km / h. The manufacturer reports that the "Mongoose" is able to overcome water obstacles.

The armored vehicle is equipped with “additional” upper, rear and side hatches for “unimpeded landing of troops”.

From the presentation material "Ukroboronprom":

Increased frontal protection and the installation of additional sheets of armor provide crew safety. All components, with the exception of the engine, Ukrainian production.

At the same time, nothing is said about such an important detail as the interest in purchasing this car from the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine and any of the foreign (potential) customers. Apparently, the company decided to create a BRM based on the fact that one of the foreign representatives would be interested in "Mongoose", including at such exhibitions as "Arms and Security".

Earlier, "Mongoose" was presented in Poland - at the MSPO-2018 exhibition in Kielce. At the same time, it is stated that the BRM of the Ukrainian production has caused "increased interest" among the visitors of the exhibition. But where are the orders then?

Will go for Africa ..))))

They are the whole stock of ammunition and other MTO for 10 years of the war of the USSR, todes fused .. And they will sell this miracle.

Briefly about the news:

[Arh]

Strange Ukrainians? Europe doesn’t need junk !!! )))

[Serge Gorely]

What a fine fellow! Embedded an additional door, set square headlights. Camouflage pixel ... Here it is! New technique! Although what am I talking about ... They from the Mosin rifle managed a super-duper to rivet a new gun.

[Sands Careers General]

The bardadymks have at least a review, but what is there to stare at in triplex?))

[Prisoner]

Right! So the BRDMka crawls out of it.

[Ferdinant]

Most of the roads are in such a condition that it’s only on such roads that they drive; bridges again fall apart.

How is the Soviet BRDM-2 different from the Ukrainian Mongoose BRM, except for the engine? Two additional armor sheets are obtained

[Alexander Galaktionov]

I think BRDM-Cayman has more potential

And most importantly, why are they to the Poles ................................... ?!

The main thing at the international exhibition was and the main thing for them to participate, as well as people to see and show themselves.

Did they show off for free in Poland with a model of the 60s? Well, I don’t know, yet outside the window is the 21st century.

[A good one]

Of course, to show yourself, they live in a different dimension, unlike you.

[Pirogov]

Have you read fiction about any other dimensions?

[2329 Carpenter]

The Iveco engine is also 60s?
And as they showed themselves, this can only be judged in combat conditions. Let there be at least a B-2.
And throwing caps / slippers for accuracy and quantity, as the general presence on the VO site shows, is by no means an indicator of patriotism.
Vaughn even Meehan began to measure seven times than to throw earflaps.

Great question. Considering the considerable investment of the state in joint development with the Germans (Rheinmetall) of a replacement vehicle. Moreover, for the period of this replacement, the "chaos" are being upgraded to the LOTR version

What is the Soviet BRDM-2

The Soviet BRDM, in contrast to many "beautiful" versions of its modernization at factories of now independent states, had retractable wheels. This is what made it possible to conduct intelligence on this biaxial by car off the road breaking trenches, streams, ravines, etc. obstacles.
And it was also quite simple, maintainable and cheap - in its production widespread domestic automobile units were used.
The same is what the modernization of Ukraine in Ukraine and in other repair enterprises is no longer a combat vehicle for reconnaissance, but an armored car for patrolling, encashment, etc. affairs

[Reserve buildbat]

The main difference is in the body material. The BRDM-2 has armor, and the Mongoose has Polish tool steel.

[Mihail28]

More additional wheels were thrown out and additional side doors were cut out in their place. And they must have air conditioning in stock, and install a three-zone climate on the pumped-up climate.

[ANCIENT]

But is there anyone who wants to simply give money to Ukraine, knowing that the order can be at least disrupted, poorly assembled equipment, de-equipped, de facto, although the paperwork is complete, or not completed at all, because Ukraine has not kept its word for a long time.

[Yujanin]

For me, so after the Iraqi deal with armored personnel carriers, Ukrainian armored vehicles do not inspire much confidence.

[A good one]

For the distillation of coins from one pocket to another, they, as partners, are quite suitable. They push products or bullshit under the primer layer, they push it, and their partners close their eyes to it, because everything is agreed in advance.

[Troll]

Tuning on the drum, tuning is a matter of taste. But that the engines are "alien" is symbolic .. This suggests that their engine building has already been screwed up and the capacities for their production, Ukrainian developed in their homeland, have not been found.

[Reserve buildbat]

Show with us in Russia engines of this class and quality. Russian. Unfortunately, in the field of engines for trucks and cars we have a dull voice.

[Troll]

With all this, on domestic technology and their own engines.

[Reserve buildbat]

I agree))) My own))) Just the racehorses haven't had that either. Well, do not take the same ZMZ

[StudentVK]

Good old brdm)

[Stoler]

BRDM in after the rescue

[Jerk]

And "shame-be" already fsio? Did this spiny lobster even paint cracks in the armor?

[Fox]

Cargo cult!

[Berkut24]

You can rivet light armor plates as much as you like, but collisions in the Donbass showed that all light armor, including Soviet-made BMPs, is cut almost completely and immediately.

[Declarant]

Dvigun from the hunchback had to be set. Shpansky for the price will not pull.

[Lara Croft]

That only BRDM will not be made ... Competitor to the Belarusian "Cayman"

[rocket757]

A mess he is a mess in Africa!
Moreover, such cool specialists designed it, Soviet!
Kohl undertook to disfigure his dill, khan "kitten"!

[LeonidL]

You should not so loudly scoff at the poor home-made, gentlemen-comrades-panov! They are masters of unique products! Unique, inimitable and non-reproducible! ... Well, like, they made one tank and they show everyone. They made one thing and at the exhibition. They made one new BRM from strictly BRDM. They painted it very high quality ... and to the exhibition ... well, and then even the grass does not grow.

[Evil 55]

Apparently, the next hypostasis of the old Soviet Bardak (BRM) .. There is more than one war for them in UKRALINE for them ..

[Retvizan 8]

The guys of genius are designers from Ukraine, of course, do not be offended, but this product is stillborn.
What is the appearance alone worth?
Looked at the view from the side, just some misery!
And they also announce a speed of up to 100 km / h, and then steer it at such speeds as? Through triplexes or on a hike through a hatch?
Some kind of crap happened!

[brom]

See, Balaganov, what can be done from a simple Singer sewing machine? A small adaptation - and it turned out a lovely collective farm sheaves.

[sgr291158]

It will remain in one copy. In addition to Ukrainians, no one needs it.

[atesterev]

The armored vehicle is equipped with “additional” upper, rear and side hatches for “unimpeded landing of troops”.

So ce floating armored buggies!

[Kokarev Mikhail]

What a nice machine! In the early 70's, when I went to kindergarten, I had such a toy, everyone was jealous. And the older cousin served in such a CA, at the same time! Well done, they repaired and tuning!

-------------------------
I also had the same toy. I read all the comments, almost everything as I thought. Cropped copy of BRDM.

[monster]

Sometimes I just feel ashamed that I was born in Ukraine ...

[LeonidL]

Who will buy - I do not know, but for sure it will have a headache!
