Armor is strong. How to collect armored personnel carriers

29
An armored personnel carrier on close acquaintance turned out to be very beautiful and somehow correct in proportion. A clot of pure functionalism multiplied by the crocodile animal plastics.



Bare bodies, factory workers say "gondola", come from nearby Vyksa. Already welded, painted and part of the wiring and mechanization of the suspension.



Shinmontazh. Tightening the tire on the disc, manually.



Further, the body with bolted wheels, stand on the assembly line.



Inside the body put the line and install the devices.



Conveyor. No automation. None robots. All by hand. There are no air lines, and, accordingly, pneumatic tools. The only thing I saw was an impact wrench to unscrew the wheel nuts. Yes, and that one, electric, heavy. However, all operations and details are strictly controlled. Maybe that's why the percentage of claims is extremely low.



BTR - fully hydro and gas insulated. On the photo there is a door with a gas analyzer.



Installation of all sorts of pieces. The enterprise is a military one, so a very tight control was taken behind the photo shoot.



Conveyor. The cars themselves do not travel, the tape with supports moves under them.





Motor and Gearbox KAMAZ, On the motor, two turbines blowing in different sections. Mechanical injection pump. Without EURO.





Machines with installed power plants.



Workshop debugging and adjustment.





Then the cars go to the installation of what is ordered. Even the skin material inside is being discussed (Rolls-Royce is resting). In general, the BTR is already full of modifications: floating and non-floating, a communications vehicle, a command and command vehicle (instead of a tower, a hump above the landing compartment) and much more that the customer will order. There is even a pickup.



In this workshop, all products move under their own power. The main thing is to be attentive, can pin down.



Various modifications of machines.



Different camouflage.



And various attachments.



All cars are waiting for a test march, this is 100 kilometers with a factory driver, and then another 50 km - with a customer representative. And only then, if nothing has fallen off or broken, the product is shipped to the customer.



Pool. Part of the test march.
And it swims! Not a speed boat, of course. But not "Titanic". Does not sink. It floats and even rolls in turns, like a real ship.



Out of the water. Looks very impressive.



After the march, the products are driven to the state acceptance. Check everything. Literally.



Having plunged into a minibus waiting for us, we moved to the side of the landfill. There also went and bathed BTR. The landfill is located on the factory. Not large in size. A standard set of obstacles that the tested equipment passes in a standard and “cool” way. What actually happened.





I am in between filming, I managed to shoot a small video.

    It is unfortunate that the assembly of machines is done with a hand tool.
    Undoubtedly, the assembly line can be mechanized to facilitate the work of people (hence, the assembly rate will increase).
    The installation of pneumatic system pipelines, hydraulic systems and the installation of on-board electrical equipment lines and other similar systems are also depressing. After all, it is possible to mount everything more thoughtfully, so that in case of a malfunction or damage (the equipment is fighting), it would be possible to quickly repair the car and put it into operation. And in the form as it is now mounted, in the event of a malfunction or damage, a lot of time is spent on repair and restoration, not counting the time to find the cause of the malfunction.
    It would be nice to work on this here.



    This, it’s not at any gate.

      There are also known diseases with transmission units that need to be fought and eradicated.
      For example, drives from axles to wheel gears. Instead of driveshafts with crosses, it has long been possible to install drive shafts with CV joints that are more durable and more reliable in operation, as well as easier to replace than cardans.
      Something needs to be done with the diseases of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
      When upgrading the 80s to the 82nd, all emphasis was placed on strengthening the protection of the armored corps and on weapons. For other nodes, for some reason they forgot.
      But they also need improvement.
      I will tell you about dvigl too. The Kamaz ICE may be good in some ways, but the YaMZ-238 will be better in any way. It pulls better on the bottoms, is less prone to overheating and generally more reliable in operation than a KAMAZ diesel. There are forced versions of it over 300 hp.

            and what's the trouble with the height? Yes, the height is 2,5m versus 3m, but on the 90th the clearance is 350mm more, and the hull is higher due to the reduction of the tower, that is, the height of the car with the same clearance there is a difference of 150-200mm

He served on such machines, I can say that everything is within reach for the crew; any broken wire or pipeline can be easily found and repaired, also for BMP-2, the problem is the poor fire extinguishing system and the lack of a modern fire control system.

      HERE OF course you can argue. Manual assembly is always better, the example of Dakar is Paris, our stool is the first, excuse me, the machine doesn’t turn the tongue. Surely there is a rational grain in this. IN BATTLE (THIS IS MY OPINION) not before repair. Although if a large series, if God forbid, then it’s cheaper and more practical, etc. pr-T-34 is the clearest example.

      It is possible to do this, but it will require all the alteration of the armored hull.
      It will also be necessary to make new landing hatches.
      And then to start mass production of all this.

          On the sides of the MTO there was so much space that I climbed there entirely, to the very bottom.
          And to check the belt tension when installing YaMZ-238 does not cause any difficulties.

          But the cardan has more disadvantages in operation:
          1.mass
          2. high vibration during rotation (which breaks the axle bearings in the axles and the bearings of the wheel gears, without any combat damage)
          3.Small working angles with vertical suspension and when turning the wheels

          Installing a constant velocity joint would reduce the overall level of vibration and noise from the transmission, would increase the vertical travel of the suspension and would increase the angle of rotation of the steered wheels of 1-2 axles.
          As a result of this, the machine could move more quietly, more smoothly, at a higher speed and could better maneuver (which in the conditions of us. Punts for the BTR-60,70,80, XNUMX is a known problem).
          And the fact that the SHRUS can differentiate the damper (if undermined, for example) is written with a pitchfork on the water.
          And if this worries someone so much, then the CV joints can be put on the example of the 41st "Moskvich" (with their connection to the bridge through the flanges):

          I will add that the universal joint bearings are needle-shaped and have a support area several times larger than the balls in the CV joint, because of the impacts, the CV joint quickly crumbles inside, unlike the cross joints, that the CV joint is more comfortable and vibrates less - this is yes, but not so "oak" as required for inexpensive military vehicles.

            I am sure that among the members of the forum there are car owners who drive SUVs and SUVs, incl.
            So on most of these machines installed drives with a constant velocity joint. All these cars drive on our broken roads, and off-road.
            And that very often "grenades" change everything?
            I do not believe.
            The average service life of a constant velocity joint is about 100 thousand km.
            But the cardan joints of the wheel drive, serve much less. At the same time, the axle bearings also break down. Noise and vibration simply depresses.

              They ride until they even begin to crack in a straight line.
              And at the same time, for some reason, almost with foam at the mouth, several people are already trying to shove the idea that the SHRUS is unreliable, and cardan joints are the pinnacle of reliability and technical excellence.

                  Where have you seen an armored personnel carrier weighing 15-20 tons with chain drives of driving wheels?
                  This is utter nonsense. Chains tend to stretch and therefore are not suitable for drive mechanisms of drive wheels.
                  Hydro-volumetric transmission is better as on the BTR-90 or electric transmission.
                  A chain from the evil one.

                  Turns "on the tank" will simply gobble up the tires on the wheels.
                  This problem can be solved in another way, simply enter separate control of the brakes on the port and starboard (as they do on wheeled tractors), put paired pedals with a retractable jumper. The locks in the differs of the bridges make forced inclusion, and not self-locking as they are now.

                  Thus, the machine will be able to turn with a reduced radius (which is important in the conditions of the nas.point).

                    Yes, tank tracks do not seem to stretch too much ... Okay, then cardan joints along the sides through the simplest angle gearboxes to the wheels. But all this "garden" is needed for two boxes, so as not to slow down, but to change the speed smoothly; and if it is absolutely impossible with the variator, then make a strong-willed decision to switch to an electric transmission

                      Modernization requires a minimum of design changes.
                      Otherwise, it’s easier to start designing a new armored personnel carrier.
                      I only suggest upgrading the drivetrain for existing armored personnel carriers, and not building a new one.

              CV joints seem to be for driving the front, steerable wheels, but from the gearbox (RK) to the axles, as a rule, ordinary "cardan shafts", and noise and vibration can depress only in case of malfunctions (broken, imbalance)
              It seems to me that the point here is in strength characteristics. It is not for nothing that most even passenger cars have more powerful and more classic drive wheels.

                  A typical answer to your question. We see there
                  CV joints seem to be for driving the front, steerable wheels, but from the gearbox (RK) to the axles, as a rule, ordinary "cardan shafts
                  and CV joints on wheel drives from the rear axle gearbox, the latter, however, is not typical.
                  And, at the expense of cardans, they are simply cheaper and easier to manufacture, although use them at taxiing, well, nafig it. Not only do they only work normally in pairs, it is necessary that the angles of this pair are the same.

    Native armor rescued, and warmed, and transported and took out the last time. One "armor" received two through holes and remained on the move, the crew was not injured.
    Of course, it is necessary to modernize production and facilitate the work of the glorious workers of Arzamas, their products have recently fought more than anyone and saved the lives of hundreds of thousands of people.
    We are waiting for the receiver, I hope the same glorious and reliable.

    Regarding the mechanization of production. Not that technique. to automate, the simpler the better. Than? no need to run, if something happens, look for a replacement for a failed pneumatic wrench, a shovel factory, imagine what you need to do to replace one wrench. a simple minimum of 1 hour, then the factory is loaded, think 100 percent?) Hardly. I was there, of course, a huge plant, it works 50 percent or less. Regarding the laying of pipelines and everything else, find better) who was an intelligent mechanic in the armored vehicle will understand where, what and when.

      I do not agree, here we have such tools on the basis and they greatly facilitate our work during the planned TO-2.
      Modern pneumatic tools are very reliable in operation (if you take the normal ones, and not any horrible .. certainly).

    Well, let's start with the fact that the BTR-82A is a highly modernized version of the BTR-80, or rather its version of the BTR-80A with a 30-mm cannon, created back in 1986, which continued the line of Soviet armored vehicles: BTR-60PB, BTR-70. For its time, the BTR-80 was an excellent fairly cheap car, fully meeting the requirements, at the level of the German "Fuchs", the French VAB, the Spanish BMR-600, the Swiss "Pirana", and in many respects surpassing them. However, a little time passed and the above machines began to appear: "Stryker", "Boxer", "Pandur-2", "Pirana-5", which are no longer armored personnel carriers, but rather "wheeled infantry fighting vehicles" and against their background even armored personnel carriers- 82A, not to mention the BTR-80, looks somehow different. Well, they are developing a new "Boomerang", they threaten to show it to the public next year. But how much time will still pass before bringing it to a series, eliminating "childhood diseases", etc. etc. Therefore, I believe that it was necessary to adopt the BTR-90, which would just be a transitional stage from the BTR-80 to the Boomerang, having the BTR-80 layout and much stronger weapons, especially the Berezhok. Moreover, on its basis it was possible to create a family of other machines. But as the saying goes: "the damned furniture maker reached out ...". So it remains for our motorized infantry to ride on the armor of the BTR-80, especially since the adoption of the BTR-82A is also not shaky, not roll.

        Serdyukov didn’t accept this, but the BTR-90’s usual shortcomings, and there were three of the most important ones, a high silhouette, poor visibility and visual comfort of the driver, excessive armament (although this may be the case for marines) that can affect maintainability, lack of landing the assault on the back (this is the nit-picking of our tactics from the RF Ministry of Defense), a lot of weight and the rest on trifles, there was an experimental batch in the RF VV six months later, there were a lot of serious complaints and a refusal to use this technique.

    One of the most warring types of armored vehicles on the territory of the former Soviet Union and not only, but I don’t know about the engine, but the Yaroslavl engines are considered to be more high-torque and unpretentious than the KAMAZ engines. I hope that the descendants of the legendary 80s will be equipped with more powerful and economical power units, which will increase the security of the entire machine.

      In general, I would put this one (YaMZ-650-10), in the "base" it produces 412 hp, but a new gearbox and RK must be done for it.

    Well Well, again, a minus for KAMAZ (I write with a small letter) KAMAZ is not a car, but yo ... sheh ... put minuses most likely yo ... bk, like managers who sucked. Salvage, after all, and suddenly, God forbid ... decks will be lost. Anyone and anytime, ask any driver on the road .. you would change the kamazik to DAF, VOLVO, MAN, SCAN, MERS, MAN, Renault, etc. At least a finger will be twisted around the temple. And they say .... here the variations of our rich Russian language are endless. So sit the guys from the boats and eat state subsidies until s..ki do not choke and do not try to make patriots of yourself. As you were goats ... since the 43rd year, so you remained them laughing

        Our problem is not in subsidies, but in the "development" of the budget. sad
