In Ukraine, made a new version of the BTR-4

The Ukrainian Kharkiv Morozov Machine Building Design Bureau (KMDK), which is part of the State Concern Ukroboronprom, produced a new version of the armored combat vehicle BTR-4 with additional protection.

“The new version of the armored vehicle BTR-4 is expanding the family of armored vehicles with the wheel formula 8х8, which is already in mass production. KMDB has developed and manufactured a prototype and a set of hinged armor for it, ”the report says on the KMDB website.
“The hinged armor can significantly increase the protection of the crew and the assault forces that are inside the BTR-4. At the same time, it can be installed and dismantled by the crew in the field, depending on the planned combat mission and the intended level of threat, ”the press release says.

BTR-4 is a floating combat armored vehicle with a wheel formula 4х4. It has a modular design, which allowed to create a family of armored vehicles on the basis of a common chassis. It includes an armored personnel carrier, an infantry fighting vehicle, a command vehicle, a command and control vehicle, a medical vehicle, and an evacuation vehicle. Thanks to the use of various combat modules and special equipment, the vehicle can be adapted to perform various combat and auxiliary tasks, according to the description of the armored vehicle on the company's website.

BTR-4 adopted by the Ukrainian army.

In 2009, Ukraine entered into a contract to supply 420 with such machines to Iraq. However, in August last year, the Iraqi side rejected the 42 armored personnel carrier, which were sent back to Ukraine. The buyer accepted only about 100 machines, further deliveries were threatened.

In September last year, it became known that Iraq decided instead of Ukrainian armored personnel carriers to buy Russian BTR-82, as well as possible options for upgrading the existing fleet of Soviet BTR and BMP, delivered in 1980-s.

In addition to Iraq, Ukraine supplies the BTR-4 to Indonesia (last year a contract was signed for the supply of five cars) and Kazakhstan (the contract for the supply of 2012 BTR-100 was signed in 4 in the year).

True patriots work for the good of their country, and not during working hours on the Maidan destroy the country

[jjj]

Some vague suspicions arise. Once the "native armor" is cracking, we cover it with hinged sheets. And I was also pleased that the crew can hang the sheets themselves in the field. And before that, where did they keep the sheets, in the glove compartment?

[Kapitan Oleg]

No, they will carry them on a cart

[dmitriygorshkov]

And then, why do you need to remove this reinforced armor? Maybe it’s not enough? Like we are on the farm today, and put a watch on your watch?

This concept is in vogue now. A "heavy" attachment armor set can render the vehicle unable to float. If we force a water barrier, we do not use the harness, or we use it partially.
In addition, this set of armor almost certainly reduces mobility. With the marching transfer to the rear areas, again, we can not use it, but send it to the place of the alleged concentration in the back of the truck or along the railway.
But we must understand that the West gives birth to all these concepts based on the experience of military operations against a weak adversary - Iraq, Libya, etc. In a large-scale conflict with a serious enemy, any logistics is unreliable and it is better to always have armor "on yourself", here you are right.

Correctly. It is necessary to use the new armored personnel carriers to protect the inhabitants of their native city from the maydanut and hired oligarchic armies.

[saag]

Even in Iraq she was rejected ...

[Simon]

All this is done in the name of the insurgent people of Ukraine, so that these armored personnel carriers do not even leave the boxes, it seems they will not defend the puppet government. I wonder what the new "government" will pay to the Kharkovites who have created this car?

[Mechvod T-64]

Some kind of garage tuning ... Looks like homemade.

[Roman Skomorokhov]

Well, obviously not homemade. Although the performance itself causes a feeling of some incompleteness, yes. But - if they buy, it means that he is something of himself.

[Com T-64a]

Yeah, like bed nets at 34-85 in Berlin, to protect against "fausts" ...

Yes, the bike about bed nets pretty much got it. The cumulative screens for our tanks were indeed manufactured in the factory or (in some cases) in the conditions of repair facilities in accordance with the developed documentation.
At the same time, for some reason it does not occur to any of the distributors of this bearded myth that the bed net as a screen is simply NOT SUITABLE due to the fact that it easily bends and does not trigger warheads at a distance from the armor.

SAAB makes armor of ceramic balls, the Americans went on the development of technology of aluminum alloys, and then ..........

[Wiruz]

Such a machine on the Maidan had to be brought to help Berkut.

It seems that with additional sheets, cracks in the body were covered.

In the 2009 year, the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine ordered the 10 BTR-4. As of December 2013, no deliveries were made.

http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C1%D2%D0-4

Those. Zbrodnyh Forces has no BTR-4. All other deliveries of this device ended in an inglorious failure, the same attempt to drag it into Azerbaijan, or a universal disgrace like, for example, to Iraq ... As of December 2013, out of 88 BTR-4 delivered to Iraq, almost 80% cannot be operated due to unsatisfactory technical states.

http://gazeta.zn.ua/internal/ya-pomnyu-vse-tvoi-treschinki-_.html

I remember the enthusiastic cries of the Ukrainians that this "armored personnel carrier" entered the top ten armored personnel carriers in the world, ahead of the BTR-80 and its modifications ...

Apparently this was a drunk of the same defective Iraqi party. Even Negroes refused to buy them in such a way as Iraq, so cunning Ukrainians found a way out, hung armor from above, and there was no more protection and welding snot. Now the Papuans will definitely buy it. Tse peremoga ...
Well, it looks like this is an option for Indonesia, which seems to have expressed a desire to purchase the 55 BTR-4 for its marine corps, with the goal of replacing the obsolete BTR-50 ... Because the propellers, as you can see in the photo, were left.

[sanek45744]

and he is swimming in a factory pond in calm water and it already looks like a submarine! !!!! and what will happen to him in open water and even on sea waves plus mounted armor !!! no, it’s not suitable for the Marine Corps !!!! and of course I wouldn’t like to scuffle and all that, but there’s one weighty one because if Ukraine doesn’t pay off gas debts, gasprom will turn off gas!

[Igor39]

In a good scenario, they can make "Kurganets" for the Russian Army.

[zeleznijdorojnik]

The Kharkov plant can do a lot of good things, both for our armed forces and for Russia as a whole.

[Vadim12]

True, a good little factory. We in Russia need this together with Kharkov ..

[Same lech]

They say they’ve adopted it ... and this is when UKRAINE is barely making ends meet and is now standing on the edge of GRIP .. not all this seriously.

[Roman Skomorokhov]

No, they accepted it much earlier. There was simply no money to issue "for myself".

[kotdavin4i]

Good morning everyone. The fact that they developed is certainly wonderful, BUT:
1. Armor does not protect the crew absolutely.
2. The armor is solid - if replacement is necessary - you have to change the whole sheet (could be made with plates)
3. The armor is directly on the main one (it seems to me that if made in the form of a screen at a short distance it would give it an anti-cumulative effect).

[Sma11]

BTR-4 is a floating armored combat vehicle

Strange, why does he have mounted hydraulic motors? They can shoot during a battle. Or do oars come with the equipment?

What is No. Redesigning the BTR-80 with an aft landing, nothing more. What is the meaning of it? Our modernization of the 80th according to the criterion "cost - efficiency" is better, but this device does not pull on a new generation car. The "Rostok" was more impressive. Only for export to "hot countries", but the quality of production with the loss of production culture gives a hell of a hike know yourself.

[pensioner]

In Ukraine, made a new version of the BTR-4

It’s good to be an armored personnel carrier: where you deployed, there you shoot. Conscience does not torment ...

[mountain]

Stagnation in politics, stagnation in industry, stagnation in the minds.

[Megatron]

Very tall, how much does the tower weigh? His center of gravity is high. I'm afraid it will be clumsy. And the armor is somehow "strange" ...

[zeleznijdorojnik]

What they do not like BTR-80,82? Well, they came up with this miracle, but this deadlock branch-shape of the case did not leave much of the 70s, respectively, from the BTR-60, which is 60 years old by lunchtime. It’s necessary to reconsider the concept altogether — to lower the machine, to block the blt from a wide angle, to take out the engine, in general, to work not on crafts on the subject of the USSR military industry — it’s better not to do it, but to come up with something fundamentally new.

[Duke]

Sorry for the grammar-typos - I write from the phone.

It has been manufactured for a long time. Iraq rejected because of the cannons. They turned it back, they shot the shooting for the Iraqis, he saw it. They beat it right and returned it back. Their hands are growing from the wrong place.

[Argon]

This defect is most likely not characteristic of the armored personnel carrier (its design), but of the armor, apparently the production technology was violated. In general, I think the BTR-4 is more promising than Russian modernization of the 80s

In addition to new technology, the Ukrainian authorities adopted a new form

Do you set wheels every other time?

[zeleznijdorojnik]

I didn’t pay attention, by the way. In our armored personnel carriers the formula is 8 × 8, here, apparently, either the author laughed, had in mind 4 leading bridges, or in this miracle, really, out of 4 bridges leading only 2, which is unlikely.

[abrakadabre]

or in this miracle, indeed, of 4 bridges leading only 2, which is unlikely.

In this case, the wheel formula is written like this: 8 X 4 - a total of 8 wheels, 4 leading. There is an obvious typo. Or the illiteracy of the author.

[Sochi]

Four leading four rowing ...

Most likely a typo. For information. In addition to the wheel formula, there is also an axial formula. In this case, the 4x4 axial formula, and the wheel will be 8x8.

[VengefulRat]

And nat. the right sector will become the guard? The Nazis on the protection of borders and order, the guys got to the official status.

[GromTomsk]

Funny, presented the picture:
their batr comes in a standard armored body kit, and suddenly a sudden clash ... The crew commander yells: landing, to the car, install additional armor !!! And the landing, spitting on shelling, busily collects the puzzle))))

[Sochi]

I am not an expert ... but for some reason it seems to me that they have gone down the path of deterioration, the hull contours in the lower part have become clearly "box-shaped" - which will obviously slow it down in the water. Open propellers - the risk of damage has increased not only in combat conditions. Observation devices for the driver and commander - except for the windshield - are not seen. Attached armor - increasing the center of gravity for floating vehicles ... a straight path from floating to sinking.

[Ruswolf]

Its main purpose is for military-police operations as part of the peacekeeping contingent.
Since it was taken into account, the fact that 80 is not possible to use fully in urban environments, where it became a good target.

[Cristall]

Yes, a normal car, maybe the BTR 4-budget option. For it is more expensive than three.
The three are normal rivals 82. Anyway, the APU buys few new ones, and Kharkov works for export like everyone else.

[FunkschNNX]

Are the glasses too big for an armored personnel carrier? Or is it a transport for hunting?

[svp67]

Did they weld additional sheets of normal armor on top of the "Iraqi" "cracked" hulls? Well, that's also a way out, maybe they will sell it or send it to equip their army ...

[Antibrim]

I am surprised that they work. we would have Kharkov with his tank school. definitely would not be superfluous.

[Tyundey]

Pay attention to the lack of side hatches. It turns out that loading and unloading of infantry occurs through the rear doors (or through hatches in the roof of the troop compartment). This is not good, because when landing (loading) under fire, fighters do not have the opportunity to choose the safe side - i.e. projection closed for shelling. It is impossible to climb onto the BTR-4 from the side, there are no handrails. Fighters will not be able to ride on the armor. Compare with the 80-koy - it turns out just an armored four-wheel drive bus with a gun.
