New armored vehicle "Raad" 6X6 presented in Iran

The Iranian Ministry of Defense will soon receive new armored vehicles. 13 August was the presentation of the new armored car "Raad" 6X6 with mine protection. It is reported by the publication ParsTodey.

On August 13, the presentation ceremony of the latest Iranian Raad armored vehicle with enhanced mine protection with the 6X6 wheel arrangement took place. Brigadier General Amir Khatami, who was present at the ceremony, said that the armor of the new machine could withstand the hit of artillery fragments and bullets with a "radioactive steel core." In addition, the machine is equipped with reinforced mine protection that can withstand the undermining of "anti-tank mines." There are no more accurate data on the new car, for the first time a poster with its image appeared only a month ago, and it was shown “live” for the first time.

This machine may well ensure the safety of command personnel and important personalities when passing suspicious sections of the road where mine traps and roadside mines can be laid

- declared the general.

The Iranian Ministry of Defense noted that this armored vehicle can be used in an asymmetric war, in street battles, at border outposts and in other operational areas.

Also, during the presentation of the new armored car, a batch of tactical Aras-2 4X4 vehicles with increased cross-country ability was handed over to the Iranian armed forces.

"Aras-2" has a high cross in difficult areas, it can be installed in a variety of small arms and more weaponscompared with the previous generation, it has greater fuel economy, higher acceleration and the ability to carry a much larger range of weapons

- The Iranian Defense Ministry said in a statement.

Can we buy a second (replacement UAZ)?

Well, what's the connection, in your opinion? Only the most blind or dumb one does not see the difference between UAZ and "Raad" 6X6 in terms of performance and purpose. Stop squeezing silly comments.

[Zaurbek]

I'm talking about the second sample in the picture - an SUV. Only a stupid cretinish, blind-eyed one cannot understand this.

[Buffet]

The first flaw immediately catches the eye - the turret is not remotely controlled.

[Zaurbek]

This is a separate unit ... you can always put it. On our Typhoons, far from all turrets.

What is a "radioactive steel core"? Tell me who knows.

[Bodipancher]

Probably the uranium core is meant. Somewhere there was information that American special forces use such bullets.

"radioactive steel core"

Depleted uranium is ..

[Nycomed]

So I thought the same thing about it, but it was written about steel, which is why I asked the question. It became interesting.

about steel

Yes hz .. There may be a translation defect .. so uranium is metal, not steel, or the author’s carelessness.

[Piramidon]

or inattention of the author.

Or his complete (most likely) incompetence in those issues that he is trying to illuminate.

[Kosh]

The author quoted this Iranian source, and there the news is clearly translated into Russian by Iranian journalists who know Russian well, but they may have problems with specialized terms.

What is a "radioactive steel core"? Tell me who knows.

An armor-piercing shell (blank) with a depleted uranium core. Used in artillery (including small-caliber). I have not heard about the use of such bullets in small arms.

Hamite, kid. Learn to learn and think about what you read.

[Obi-Wan Kenobi]

Themselves to blame.
First you need to read the article carefully, and only after commenting.
Here it was in the article:

Brigadier General Amir Khatami, who was present at the ceremony, said that the armor of the new vehicle is capable of withstanding the hit of artillery fragments and bullets with a "radioactive steel core".

So - bullets with a "radioactive steel core" - in principle, do not exist.
Then look for the answers themselves ....

[Piramidon]

So I answered exactly the words of the general, complete with your comment that uranium is not steel. What is incomprehensible? And here you attacked me without understanding.

Themselves to blame.

In any case, I have not been rude to you.

[dvina71]

High. Ground clearance is small .. although .. for Iranian realities probably normal ..

[Bodipancher]

The main goal of the MCI is to protect against landmines laid along the roads (namely, from them, as a rule, the greatest number of losses occurs in low-intensity conflicts) and ambushes of lightly armed partisans. Therefore, such machines are made very heavy and high with a V-shaped bottom. This is a machine for stripping and escorting columns.

[donavi49]

This is consistent with physics.

If you make lungs then two problems at once:
- the effect of the blast wave, in general, flying not on 5-6 meters with a flip, but on 15-20 meters with a couple of flip-flops, does not contribute to good health.
- structural strength. What is higher - but also in pieces.

If you do low - how to dissipate a blast wave? Without streamlined contours (which gives immediately + 75-100cm to height) - the wave will act either on the breach and if there is no breach - this will be the starting push into the flight along an intricate trajectory with somersaults.

In general, while we are in this physics - only huge sheds can be resistant to landmines.

What what? And how to sift the wave high?
I didn’t understand .. That is, if a wall with a large area has a waps .. does the blast wave only overturn?
And if the area is smaller, due to the decrease in height, what other effect appears?
You have an interesting physics ...

[donavi49]

V shaped bottom. Here it is on the sides of this bottom and diverges like a wedge. And this bottom = high shed because it gives 75-100 + cm immediately. If you make a cube, then you can make it compact, but then the wave will either break through the bottom or toss, because there is nowhere to disperse.

[dvina71]

Quote: donavi49

V shaped bottom.

Ie V-bottom low profile can not be? But what about the Lynx or Kamazenok?
And I’m generally confused .. as from a landmine laid along ALONG roads, the Volleyball can break the bottom .. which is relatively sharp at a very acute angle with respect to the wave ..

[donavi49]

Lynx has small bevels. And this is not MRAP, it will crumble with minced meat from those inside and no one will be able to show Lynx. But if, from a similar blasting, this MDI or other full-fledged MDI will fall apart, then the manufacturer will have big problems. Even easier - different classes, Lynx holds 6kg under the wheel, old Koguar before fun flying - 14kg, after flying undermined in Afghanistan - brought to 22kg.

Well, Duc - how lucky it is. If on the side - then just pray so as not to break, but simply topple / stole. If right under the side, then it will nevertheless scatter and overturn, which is better than the alternative. The worst ones are when under the wheel bottom.

[Elysium]

Well, here somehow the "Raad" has a low ground clearance, a V-shaped bottom and enough space for dispersion. HZ, maybe the Iranians made such a low draft because of the center of gravity. There are no performance characteristics.

brought up to 22kg.

from 22kg even a tank will become bad ..

[Bodipancher]

The special shape of the bottom and high position on the road allow you to disperse the blast wave. The heavy case is more resistant to explosion. Also, the tall body allows you to place special anti-explosive seats, where the seat is suspended and the feet of the fighters do not touch the floor of the car. The introduction of MRAP by the Americans made it possible to radically reduce losses from landmines, so other armies also took this path. The negative side of such cars is poor traffic, they are still cars for paved roads.

What is a "radioactive steel core"? Tell me who knows.

The concept of using charges with cores, cuvettes, or depleted uranium inlays has been developed since the early 50s. Uranium cores are almost entirely made up of Uranium-238 and are used in missiles in air guns, tanks, ground artillery, and cruise missiles. In addition, there is some evidence that infantry rifle ammunition with uranium cores, cartridges for automatic weapons and heavy machine guns, was or is being produced. The first mass use of ammunition with depleted uranium was recorded in 1991. US troops during the war in the Gulf fired 860 thousand volleys using this kind of ammunition, as a result of which over 290 tons of uranium-238 were thrown into Iraq and neighboring countries.

[yehat]

with all due respect to Iran, these developments are too reminiscent of the products of the Turkish military industry.
and an armored car, and a jeep.

[Evil 55]

Is it not our URAL that has been dressed in armor ... The layout of the chassis is already very similar ..

[Catfish]

It may very well be, although what difference does it make, put any armored truck on the armor, that’s MRAP. I did not understand just why they Hamvik stuck in this article.

[APASUS]

It is worth considering to our rulers how, under conditions of restrictions and sanctions, the country is working, they are launching missiles, military equipment

[Kolbi]

They look good .. Well done Iranians! Such machines will be useful to them in the future.
