The car was presented at the annual conference of the United States Army Association. It is stated that next year the American army will receive the first 650 of new cars.

We are very proud of the opportunity to move forward in this competition and continue to develop a vehicle that will allow army units to move around the battlefield with greater ease and reliability.

- said General Motors Defense David Albrightton.

According to the developers, the new car was created on the chassis of a Chevrolet Colorado pickup truck, about 70% of all parts were taken from it. Also in the design used spare parts from off-road versions of the pickup versions ZR2 and ZR2 Bison. An 2.8-liter diesel engine with 186 liter capacity is installed on the car. from. with a six-band automatic. The declared speed on the highway is 160 km / h, off-road speed is 100 km / h. The mass of the machine and its dimensions make it possible to transfer the vehicle in UH-60 Blackhawk and CH-47 Chinook helicopters both on the external suspension (UH-60) and inside the helicopter (CH-47).

The vehicle's carrying capacity is not called, but it is reported that it is capable of moving fully equipped military personnel and their equipment on 9 off-road. More detailed specifications of the new car is not provided.

Yes, they don’t even need it, this is another development, to go to the nearest supermarket just for beer ..
The army of "exceptional" what to take from them .. It is convenient to skimp on these, jumping on the move ... and clinging to the arcs ..

[ProkletyiPirat]

These machines are needed for transporting MTR units from the landing zone to the database zone, ATTENTION! when the landing zone is specially distant from the database zone due to the unmasking effect of the VTA operation. Basically, such armored vehicles are used in conjunction with helicopters and tiltrotoplanes and they are facilitated in order to fit into the weight restrictions of the VTA with the VTOL (VTOL).

ps In my opinion, firstly, the car is already bad because it cannot swim, and secondly, instead of creating an under-BBM for BTA, it is better to create a BTA for BBM, and sacrifice fuel consumption and the cost of servicing the BTA.
pps Although such BBMs are good for export to countries where there are many weak BTAs.

why do they need it? they have toyot fucking great.

Quick draping is the fate of special forces. In a direct collision, any infantry will crush him - there are more of her and she is better armed.

[Alex777]

On UAZs in Afghanistan, special forces just went. Without doors.
When the shelling started, it was possible to jump out faster.
Quickly jumped out - survived, at least.
And we have built BORZ. And which is better? MB pickup from Niva?

And what is convenient to do on the "masterpiece" of the Chechen car industry?

The Russian Guard has purchased combat buggies from the Chechen Special Forces University for 18 million rubles

Each machine cost the guardsmen 800 thousand rubles more than originally planned

each Chechen all-terrain vehicle cost the federal service 2,2 million rubles, although in 2017, the creators of the buggy said that it would cost 1,5 million rubles.

How do the patriots love to look at specks in the eyes of others ...

[max702]

Judging by this pepelats with Russia they are not going to fight ..

[Xnumx vis]

Seeing this unit thought about snowstorms, frost with a strong north wind, snowdrifts. Hats with earflaps, boots and sheepskin coats ... Brr coldly look at this army special forces vehicle

[ROSS_51]

When you buy a hat for the pool, you also think, How will I chop wood in the yard in it in winter?

And who is going to fight with Russia at all?
Think about it, for all the hysteria "Russians are coming", there is not a single worthwhile Western film about the global war with Russia with a happy end for the Americans. Because no screenwriter will come up with such a thing, and the Americans will not like a movie where half of America is a nuclear desert.
Remember CrimeaOur. It was precisely the creation of such political conditions and such a scenario that they were going to crank out with Russia under Bora.
But then something went wrong. But attempts to create such conditions do not stop.

I think they were more inclined to the scenario described in the book by Berkem Al Atomi "Marauder" .. But again, judging by this unit, something went wrong ..

[ROSS_51]

Well, in Marauder, the situation is very similar to the Maidan Ukraine and Crimea. With its own nuances. When svidomye screaming, yes to hell with him with the Crimea, right now we will lose Kharkov ..

But the PMSM situation of BP on Berkem is still relevant for Russia and too much rests on one person who does not want to repeat the fate of Slobodan Milosevic.

[Rwmos]

Nevertheless, tell me the best, at what places there are nine, follow your fingers - do not use five or less use the bed - this one is so much nine! Are you sure to DO, and not to push?

[Stone]

Mushrooms? No?

[lucul]

and where are the air conditioning and coffee maker located ???

And most importantly - where, in this pepelats, so widely advertised by our liberals, is mine protection? )))
Indeed, according to them - a technique that is not equipped with armored protection at the MRAP level - just a coffin on wheels)))

[EXPrompt]

Mounted armor where ... this is not a buggy for you, but a machine for troops in different hot spots ..

[mark1]

Wow! But why the special forces? - guys on a ride!

[Trevis]

Bet on speed.

[APASUS]

I understand that the special forces will not go into battle on such a papalace, this machine is intended only for transportation. But any mess and this open bucket will not even be able to cover. What is the new mod?

[Thrifty]

Doors not included? Do you need to buy them separately for the money of the car crew?

[Rzzz]

The Chechens ripped off the idea.

[Sergey39]

Best armor! Invisible and weightless!

[Catfish]

All this was invented long before and independently of some Chechens. Look from what year the buggies have been in service with the American "marines". Functionally for other tasks, but the design is still the same: motor, frame, wheels and no protection at all. So let Chechnya rest on the sidelines, they themselves tore off on the move.

[Sniper]

similar to LUAZ ..

[Tank jacket]

Pit the powers and sell to opponents ... Sometimes it passes ... The Saudis, again, are warm there ... And the Hussites will appreciate

[Catfish]

Wow, the Hussites don’t care what to burn, if only it would burn.

[Proton]

At 160 km / h they’ll simply blow it out of this colander , and about 100 km / h on the road, well, you can take the sand, but there are strong doubts about where the thread in the Lipetsk region is and at 20 km / h.

[Rzzz]

Quote: Proton

that’s where the thread in the Lipetsk region is, there are strong doubts at 20 km / h.

Especially in February.

[capsid]

A beautiful machine. In Russia, such a machine will not appear in fifty years, but a new missile will appear in a year.

[dragy52rus]

Why such a car in Russia? winter is coming: open all the windows in the car, turn off the stove and ride under 100+ at a temperature of at least below -10.

In this case, the analog machines use walls and a roof made of transparent reinforced polyethylene, or other similar but durable and non-combustible materials.

Unless Mexican illegal immigrants drive along the border. But after three hours of road in the fresh air somewhere in December - paws to the top, snot to the bottom

I don’t understand something, is it for reconnaissance groups and saboteurs?

In the army's understanding, the reconnaissance group and saboteurs are one and the same. Once our GAZ-69 deep reconnaissance company was used for the same purpose - it was possible to throw a closer one by helicopter, and then on your own. Nothing is new under the moon, as they say.

[Zeev Zeev]

Well yes. "Willis" back in 1944 in "Hamilcar" drove for the American Airborne Forces.

[loki565]

Who was laughing at our CHABORZ there? it turns out buggy is a very relevant topic)))

[Vipirozhnikow]

We have not only Chaborza;)

[evgic]

Bullshit and drank a budget. It is necessary that she constantly roared a siren and launched rockets, for a greater unmasking effect. Type from afar it is visible - the special forces goes on a mission.

[Military77]

All have 5 point belts (opening time - 0,5 sec, which is critical). In the case of unfastened belts, an assault landing in the cockpit without helmets has the option of getting a brain substitute shaken by impact on an arc, while an assault landing in the back has an unplanned landing.

[Catfish]

All have 5 point belts

Here the imperialists are filthy, they also fasten the 5th point !? It’s completely overgrown.

[Military77]

So Zadornov also said (Heaven be to him) that Russia is the soul of the world, and America is the 5th point))) If you look at Amer’s fighters without translation, then the heroes are asked to save the 5th point or shake it. Country 5th point, what to take. So from there all the products reproduced by the 5th point, and floats around the world, such as democracy, color revolutions and other

[Zeev Zeev]

And who goes to the army in an open car without helmets?

[Cheerock]

Four points there.
Pontovozka. The unprotected radiator and the square under the removable (!!!) winch are especially pleased.

Is this where our deep intelligence on wheels rode? May I have the details? Very interesting.

[ROSS_51]

A good transport cart for their tasks, just to the full-time special forces unit.

[Tektor]

It seems to me that the idea of ​​this car is vicious. transporting 9 special forces in one transport and not armored car makes it "the dream of a grenade launcher, machine gunner and a simple sniper." To transport 9 soldiers in unarmored space is the height of recklessness. Here on our Chechen greyhound car (Chaborza) there is space for only 2 riders ... And rightly so, because makes this target of little value for the use of expensive ammunition. And this affects the survivability of such a vehicle.

[ROSS_51]

The idea of ​​this car stems from the experience of many modern conflicts and the military satisfies.
Did you shoot from a grenade launcher? And from a sniper? You still have to get into a maneuverable speed target and this is a task for an experienced machine gunner. And Chabors is six-seater. 2-seater it is to ATVs.

[Pavlov Sergey Alexandrovich]

Well bugs and bugs what is the question then ?? Everything is normal here, our specialists like such use it and there is nothing of that kind) on the contrary, the mobility of the special forces group for crossing small rivers and Kamenyugas does not stamp foot marches for 100 km. From 25kg. Hump ​​loads. Right?

[Denimax]

Lightweight design, more fuel, suitable for long-distance raids. They can act independently, as well as in a group with Strikers. And there are guns, ATGMs, mortars and UAVs. They can work for any purpose.
