Russian reconnaissance officers and SOF fighters operating at the forefront in the Northern Military District zone will be armed with a new light vehicle developed specifically for these purposes. The head of the Argo company, Konstantin Bagdasarov, spoke about this.

The new vehicle, called "Vityaz", is based on the UAZ 469 and is equipped with a 100 hp diesel engine. The vehicle is protected by a system EW "Wavebreaker". It is proposed to install anti-aircraft machine gun mounts paired with a large-caliber KPVT machine gun as armament. The advantages of the "Vityaz" are its running characteristics and ease of maintenance.

When creating the Vityaz project, we proceeded primarily from the desire to make a lightweight, easy-to-handle vehicle, which would at the same time have a powerful, high-torque diesel engine and would be protected by such an effective modular electronic warfare system as the Breakwater for our fighters from reconnaissance groups and forces special operations operating in the Northern Military District zone,

- leads RIA News Bagdasarov's words.

As of today, the first prototype of the car has almost been assembled; in the near future it will go to the test site, where it will undergo comprehensive tests.

Earlier, the Argo company announced the development of the Saracen maneuverable all-terrain platform, designed specifically for special operations.

We haven’t had time to assemble them yet, but we are already sure that they will be purchased. Some kind of miracle. They probably cut off the body from the Bukhanka and installed a frame

We asked our Chinese comrades, and here is a new product.

and based on UAZ 469

Where did they find the live 469th? Under the index UAZ-469 the car was produced until 1985, after which, in accordance with the industry system of 1966, it received the four-digit number 3151.
Well, it's not based on the Patriot or Hunter, the Soviet 469s were stronger. Otherwise it won't make it to LBS.

What exactly is there to discuss? More promises from another “effective manager”?

[Ivan Ivanov]

A normal goat, especially if it goes into a large series. Volunteers constantly buy cars

[agond]

And what will these "anti-aircraft machine gun mounts, paired with a large-caliber KPVT machine gun" look like?

[faiver]

The bobby is a little light for the KPVT, the swing during recoil will negate all the shooter’s efforts

[Dedok]

UAZ 469, it is equipped with a 100 hp diesel engine. With. The advantages of the Vityaz are its driving performance and ease of maintenance.

?
Driving performance - I agree, but whose diesel? - and how to service it on LBS...

The cost of this invention was modestly kept silent. They also did not indicate the quantity they are capable of producing. Without this data, this is just another “analogue”. And the soldiers on the front line are forced to ride whatever the volunteers bring.

[molyr]

well, yes, both the cost and everything can be sent to Kuev at once

[Soul of Russia87]

So let him or his son go on reconnaissance in this beach buggy. At least they would have treated him with tin for the sake of decency.

"developed on the basis of UAZ 469, it is equipped with a diesel engine with a capacity of 100 hp. The vehicle is protected by the "Volnorez" electronic warfare system. As armament, it is proposed to install anti-aircraft machine gun mounts paired with a large-caliber KPVT machine gun"
and why was it invented at all? What is its purpose? A means of transport? No, you can't fit much in it, 2-3 people. A combat vehicle? Also no. It's unarmored and there's no one to fight with such weapons, and the KPVT will destroy this "new light vehicle". And what's most touching is - "As of today almost The first prototype of the car was assembled" everyone wants to get their hands on the budget split. The BRDM has long been made for reconnaissance. There's no comparison with that bucket from the Argo company. And why does reconnaissance need a reconnaissance vehicle? To attract attention to itself? And the weapons are "anti-aircraft machine gun mounts, paired with a large-caliber KPVT machine gun." What are these "anti-aircraft machine gun mounts" anyway? Quadruple Maxims? Yes, everyone wants to make some easy money, by any means, especially under the sauce of their own
