Shoigu visited the Arzamas Machine-Building Plant

The defense minister was shown a special forces vehicle, a vehicle with enhanced mine protection and a hybrid armored personnel carrier.

“The Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation, Army General Sergey Shoigu, visited Arzamas Machine-Building Plant with a working visit,” the press service of the Military Industrial Company reports. The head of the military department inspected the production workshops of the machine-building plant and the site of the enterprise, where he familiarized himself with mass-produced models of armored vehicles and the latest developments of the military-industrial company.


First, Shoigu inspected the 233115 special vehicle “Tiger-M SpN”. It was developed by order of the Ministry of Defense for the special forces units of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. And already this year the first batch of such armored vehicles will go to the troops.


Then the head of the military department showed an armored vehicle with enhanced mine protection MIC-3924 "Bear."

Sergei Shoigu stressed that the “Wolf” armored car should complete state tests by the end of 2014, after which it would be decided to adopt it and purchase it for the Russian Armed Forces.

At the plant site, the defense minister was presented with a prototype model of an armored wheeled vehicle with a hybrid power plant and electric transmission, created as part of the Krymsk research and development project.


The company's specialists said that technical characteristics were fundamentally improved in the Krymsk armored vehicle: the resource was increased by 2-3 times, the useful volume by 20-30%, the degree of automation and power supply of the vehicle was increased.

The head of the military department also identified areas for further improvement of the BTR-80 and BTR-82A armored personnel carriers and the Tiger-M armored car, such as improving the dynamic characteristics and ergonomics of crew and airborne jobs, improving security, installing remotely controlled combat modules.

In addition, an exhibition of GAZ Group products, the Zavolzhsky Tracked Tractor Plant and the Ural Automobile Plant was held for the leadership of the Ministry of Defense on the territory of the enterprise.

At the end of his acquaintance with the company's products, Sergei Shoigu held a meeting on the production and supply of promising military equipment to the Russian army with the participation of senior officials of the Russian Ministry of Defense, General Director of Basic Element Oleg Deripaska, Nizhny Novgorod Region Governor Valery Shantsev, and leaders of the Military Industrial and businesses.

It is good that GAZ is trying hard. But I really want to see how their BTR82 looks with what KAMAZ offers ...
But Shoigu well done, it’s not the time for the Minister to sit in the cabinet for a long time, it’s time to decide how and with what to rearm the army ...

Kamaz can offer anything, however, "Boomerang" will be exactly Arzamas. And how silly it is to compare a modernized car with new platforms.

And what else can you compare them "smartly" with? After all, modernization is carried out with the aim of extending the service life of old machines and one of its tasks is at least to "equate" the combat properties of a modernized object with the combat properties of a new one, whose modernization potential has not yet been used, at least for a number of characteristics. Here are old tanks such as T55 and T62, tanks of the first generation, through modernization they bring the security and firepower to the level of the "third generation" and no one sees anything "stupid" or "bad" in this ...

Shoigu is great! But why did he stick so much "cabbage" on his cap ?! Well, M la, why this masquerade with patterns on the band and visor ?!
Well, you won’t throw the Tuvan mentality out of the window - genes, however.

I wish him with all my heart strength and good luck!

And if you look carefully! I recently compared 2 photos of Shoigu of the Ministry of Emergencies and Shoigu of the Sun. FORM one color is different. Everything is the same and cut and the presence and location of stripes and chevrons, even the caps are the same. Well, probably he can’t forget the Ministry of Emergencies. And for one whole the generals changed clothes for himself

[Varnaga]

yeah, try to increase the mine resistance of the 82's or provide 4 level of protection according to STANAG. Look, Ukrainians are modestly silent on the mine resistance of their sawed APCs.

[eplewke]

Every good! Such visits! For example, when a big cone arrives, you boil it so that the roads are repaired, the fences are repaired, cosmetic repairs are done, the grass will be painted ...

[slavik_gross]

The more Shoigu will check the military-industrial complex, the more likely it will be completed on time.

That's right, studying foreign experience, you need to create your own equipment, revive design bureaus and factories, and not buy foreign equipment for operation.
You will not contact the enemy in battle and ask: "- Don't shoot there, you will damage my car, and spare parts will only be delivered next month."
Only fight on your own!

All the same, a civilian is visible. The Minister of Defense is almost completely untrapped. As if not in the service, but walking in the country.

This one is suitable for Taburetkin, the Mercedes is already old, the MO will help him again.

Yes let it go, as it wants to beautified. Not according to the general form the work of the Moscow Region is judged.

Bear BTR for BB. KAMAZ creates a competitor for Moscow Region

Tiger for special forces of what? If special intelligence, then whom to carry in it? The reconnaissance group will not fit in all, the fire support from it is ridiculous. In brigades used to be BTR80, the worse? But BRDM has already outlived its own or where else is it found?

[ivshubarin]

The intelligence group can ride on two Tigers, the Tiger is cheaper and more mobile than the BTR-80

a reconnaissance group is usually 12-18 people, or even more, depending on the task. Plus equipment and weapons, how many "mobile tigers" will it take? It's doubtful about the cheapness. Small series, parts interchangeability, etc.
