Demonstration of the chassis MZKT-79291
According to known data, the chassis is intended primarily for use as the base of the self-propelled launcher Rubezh with a small-sized “light” intercontinental ballistic missile created by the Moskovsky Institute of Thermal Engineering Corporation (MIT) OJSC. 7929 (first in the 10x10 and 10x8 versions) for various missile systems designed in the USSR at that time was carried out in Minsk at MZKT with 1980s. In the future, the MZKT-79291 chassis project It was reported that in the 2008 year at MIT, the Minsk plant delivered a set of documentation (technical project) to the MZKT-79291 chassis in a modern version for the AAP of the promising PGRK, and MIT conducted the associated R & D with the MWTP.
It is known that the modern diesel version of the MZKT-79291 chassis should have a 854.10 diesel engine with 650 horsepower. special development of JSC "Tutaev Motor Plant".
In the evening of June 6, 2013, from the Kapustin Yar test site in the Astrakhan Region, a Rubezh test complex with an intercontinental ballistic missile was launched.
