In the basic version, the MRZR D4 is a four-seater buggy with a turbodiesel installed, as indicated by the letter "D" in the name. Rear-wheel drive car with the ability to connect all-wheel drive. With a mass of 952 kg, the machine has a carrying capacity of 680 kg. The cruising range is approximately 500 km.

In addition to the machines themselves, the contract provides for the supply of spare parts, as well as training of personnel.

At the first stage, we ordered the construction of 65 vehicles. A total of 148 vehicles can be supplied under the contract. Delivery to the troops is scheduled for next year

Regression, however. From armored personnel carriers to buggies, then to motorcycles, bicycles, and will end up with cavalry?

Should end on foot legions, with all the ammunition on the shoulders
And if in fact, it is not entirely clear where they are going to use the buggy.
Not that Defense Minister Frau ... Bauer is itching to get involved in some military company on dense or sandy soil.

[Alex777]

I do not understand something. Are they in the Bundeswehr aware that they are leaving Afgan?
More like these buggies the Germans have nowhere to use. Are the states preparing a new war?

Given the increase in the military budget, it is quite possible. Little victorious war ...

There were no armored personnel carriers or infantry fighting vehicles in the MTR. Their tasks are different, as are the execution methods. But on Gelendvagens, special executions were dissected

Gelendvagens of special design are the variant of armored personnel carriers. Now the MTR will be dissected by buggy, and then renamed the Winged Cavalry.

Just a cross-country vehicle, no APC options

For the MTR, these are the cars "just right", and now laugh some more, Russian MTRs, they drive approximately similar ones, you also look soon they will become cavalrymen, huh? Budyonny and the 1st horse will be remembered. And while you laugh, catch the "sleeper".

For the MTR Germany, yeah. On the autobahn in a buggy?

[Merry_Militarist]

Sergey, with all due respect, I welcome your desire to laugh, but KSK Germany fought very well in Afghanistan, for example. where the terrain under the buggy is suitable, and where they are now climbing - God knows them. We bought it, so we need it.

Am I arguing with this? On the contrary, let them release their warlike steam somewhere in fights with the barmaley.

[Merry_Militarist]

I don’t know how they are with the warlike steam, but the need to kill the barmaley will be relevant for a very long time.

[Sergey39]

Listen to the German Defense Minister about their military desires.

[Merry_Militarist]

Well, this madam can recite anything, but competent uncles will decide everything.))

[Sergey39]

This madame just expresses their opinion. It's just that "competent uncles" are being shy. :)

[Merry_Militarist]

Well, the crap apparently hit the woman in the head, Germany has already tried a couple of times in the XNUMXth century to talk from a "position of strength" with our country, though it didn't work out very well))

[Sergey39]

Well, maybe the nonsense has hit, but this "nonsense" yesterday was almost literally repeated by NATO.

[Merry_Militarist]

So from our side, they say all sorts of nonsense, from the other side they also yap. Not in the first one already)) It's time to get used to it.

[seregatara1969]

Buggy is good. But the Buryat cavalry costs less money and more cross-country ability

[AlexeyEg]

About the Buryats .. The Buryats are not funny .. Stop mocking.

[Doccor18]

And our paratroopers would not be in the way.

[Crowe]

Russian Airborne Forces will be armed with buggies with a speed of 155 km / h

I would not even want to hit a hundred, for example, on an anti-personnel mine, capable of elementary breaking a wheel ...

[donavi49]

The SSOs somehow got good Can-Am StrikeM4, which they actively use even in SOCOM, are quite fresh. But all the paratroopers cannot get the equipment. And among their own only buggies from Ramzan.

[Servisinzhener]

And among their own only buggies from Ramzan.

Which not so long ago, some here ridiculed as the stupidity of our military commanders.

- I looked at this cuttlefish - ah it was cold! According to our weather, after a hundred kilometers, you’ll get sick that those homeless people in the winter ...
- Either this transport comes complete with electric heating, or it is necessary to issue sheepskin coats to the soldiers ...

Polaris? 0_o Specialists of the country creating Mercedes, BMW, Audi, Porsche, Volkswagen - will they use Polaris?

[APASUS]

The recent battles in Karabakh perfectly confirmed the flawedness of this idea, you will still be replanted on carts.
