Engineering equipment KBTM adopted for the supply of the Armed Forces
KBTM OJSC (part of the UVZ corporation) was appointed the head enterprise of the industry to form and provide a unified design and technological concept for the development and modernization of engineering weapons for various types as early as 2002 year. Since then, the company has created a number of samples of engineering equipment. All of them have successfully passed state tests and are recommended by the Interdepartmental Commission for acceptance for the supply of troops. The technology of production of these means of engineering armament has been developed in the manufacture of prototypes.
Each of these machines is capable of performing a specific set of complex tasks. So, for example, PTS-4 is designed for amphibious crossing through water barriers of artillery systems, infantry fighting vehicles, vehicles, personnel and various cargoes. The demonstration of the capabilities of the floating conveyor was a great success last year at RAE-2013. PTS-4 is indispensable for serious natural disasters, it is able to overcome both water and land barriers, while transporting cargo weighing up to 12 tons on land and up to 18 tons on water.
For a long time, the mechanized MMK bridge complex and the MTU-90М tank bridge construction system have not been in demand. However, the developers have proven that they are simply needed where conventional technology fails.
The prototype model of the bridge-laying tank universal MTU-90М was created in 2009 year. The bridge deck is designed for single-span bridge crossings providing tanks and other equipment to be overcome during the battle of ditches, canals, narrow rivers and other obstacles up to 19 m wide. This machine provides a high rate of crossing guidance at any time of the day, in any weather conditions radiation contamination.
A year earlier, work was completed on the creation of a bridge mechanized complex (MMK), which arranges bridge crossings with high carrying capacity of wheeled and tracked vehicles through obstacles up to 40 meters wide.
An assault ferry PDP is used for ferry crossings through water barriers of tanks, artillery systems, infantry fighting vehicles and other military equipment. He is able to carry loads that are twice his own weight.
This equipment is designed for use in engineering troops that perform tasks in the most critical and dangerous areas: in the area of earthquakes and floods, they restore dams, dismantle debris, build crossings and roads, and demine the terrain.
According to Igor Lobov, General Director of KBTM OJSC, “the acceptance of the MMK, PTS-4, PDP and MTU-90М for supplying the Armed Forces of Russia allows us to talk about the possibility of launching the mass production of these engineering machines”.
