The timing of the start of tests of the first Russian armored car of the MRAP class has been announced

Tests of the first Russian armored vehicle with enhanced mine protection will begin next year, 2022. This was stated by the chief designer of the company "Remdizel", which developed the car, Igor Zarakhovich.

The Remdizel company has developed the first Russian MRAP-class armored vehicle intended for special forces. At the Army-2021 international military-technical forum, the developer presented the K-4386 ZA-SPN armored car, created on the basis of the Typhoon-Airborne Forces. Tests of the new armored car will begin next year.

The test program of the K-4386 ZA-SPN armored car will begin in 2022

- leads TASS Zakharovich's words.

As previously reported, the K-4386 ZA-SPN is an armored vehicle with increased mine protection, designed for special forces units operating in isolation from the main forces. Unlike the basic Typhoon-Airborne Forces, the new armored car received a modified body and internal equipment, as well as a different composition of weapons, which includes a 12,7-mm heavy machine gun, ATGM Kornet and an 82-mm mortar mounted in the rear of the armored car ...

According to the developers, the curb weight of the armored car is 12000 kg, the full weight is 14000 kg. Diesel engine power - 350 HP The maximum speed on the highway is 100 km / h, the ground clearance is 410 mm. The vehicle is capable of parachuting from VTA aircraft of the Russian Aerospace Forces.

How? Color? Or the fact that there are four wheels?

[Sands Careers General]

Appearance, performance characteristics, purpose, that even color. Further to enumerate?
Take two pictures, our car and the American one, compare. Then TTX. You will be surprised))

Extremely brief information. I wonder if there will be remote control of the turret from inside the car and what the folding tarpaulin roof will look like in case of bad weather.
And I don’t understand aiming ATGM with rotating handles, something must be more convenient, especially since the car has both an engine and a battery for electric drives.

[Bat]

Very brutal in appearance. They can if they want. Clear apparatus

[PROXOR]

Not even close. Except for color, nothing else.

[Flooding]

I wonder, starting from what class of mine protection, the technique can be considered MRAP?
After all, the previous 3- and 4-axle Typhoons were also with increased mine protection.

So I'm interested.

claimed level 3b mine resistance for them
like, the most that neither is the mess
I think you just need to read the whole phrase

the first Russian MRAP-class armored car designed for special forces

that is, the first MRAP for special forces

[SovAr238A]

For a very long time, "ours went to this path" ...
The South African "Kaspir", as the first MRAP, appeared almost 40 years ago, and has proven itself in all regional wars in which it took part.

South Africa in this sense, probably, were the pioneers
but they also created others - cheap, unpretentious. African version

[Sergey Aleksandrovich]

The need for escort vehicles was still in Afghanistan. The existing BTR-70, and then the BTR-80, were not quite suitable for such functions.

[75 Sergey]

Why didn't they fit? Maybe you need to modify it?

[Sergey Aleksandrovich]

A reasonable question. In my, inexperienced opinion, there is a little bit of everything. A car, like the BTR-70, it is complex, there are only 20 cardan shafts. The engine power of the 70th is insufficient, the BTR-80 seems to be better with this, one diesel KAMAZ engine is already installed. Accordingly, the service life, although noticeably higher than that of tracked vehicles, is also far from endless. Visibility from the inside is poor on the sides, it is practically nonexistent. The armament is weak and the turret has no high-speed electric drives, as well as the stabilizer. That is, instead of a 14,5 machine gun, they could have installed at least a 80 mm cannon on the BTR-23 from the memory, there would have already been an increase in firepower. And the tower, as it was primitive from the BTR-60, and migrated practically unchanged, both on the BTR-70, and then on the BTR-80. And about the lack of booking, you can see that the car under discussion has it much better.
More or less, the BRDM-2 was suitable for the escort vehicle, but it has the same drawbacks as the BTR-70. And a weak engine, and insufficient armor, and the same primitive tower with KPVT from the 60s of the last century.

[75 Sergey]

So maybe it's time to make an armored personnel carrier -22 and finish with these crafts "skillful hands"?

[Yujanin]

This is definitely not the SandCat pictured?

[Bradley]

And will anyone compare it with Oshkosh? By engine, gearbox, weight, armor, etc.?

[fa2998]

I think we need to create a good illustrated magazine. Collect there ALL samples of army wheeled vehicles that our designers have navoyed for 20 years. I think the magazine will be thick, more than 30 samples. Many are already confused, but everything is at hand. I think we have made more samples than we have produced in series. Who finances them?

[DenVB]

Unlike Oshkosh, the bottom is not V-shaped.

[Andrey83]

350 horses for 14 tons is not enough?

[salad]

So I'm wondering, 14 tons 350 hp, and it is not written what kind of motor they installed, Yaroslavl motors are even more powerful, but they are only put in the cab because of their dimensions.
Looks like a foreigner!

[Sergey Aleksandrovich]

The BTR-80 had 260 hp. for the same 14 tons.

[bk0010]

Somehow this is wrong ... IMHO, MRAP should be a converted serial truck (so that it is inexpensive and massively made and inexpensively operated) with several large-caliber machine guns, possibly with automatic grenade launchers, but not with ATGMs, holding armor-piercing 7.62 from all projections and distances (better than 12.7, but this is problematic for the base of the truck) and 4-8 kg of TNT under any wheel, equipped with IR surveillance devices. The task is to escort the columns or a temporary basis for checkpoints.
And this is an ordinary combat vehicle.

[Adimius38]

He is clearly far from MRAP.

[Warrior MorePhoto]

Something I do not understand the logic, increased mine protection, and the combat module is open, is that 200 at once in an explosion, or even from a shock wave and the entire crew?

[75 Sergey]

Each creature has a pair!
That is unification?
