Presented new armored cars "Toros" and "Cleaver"

At the end of March, International Truck Alliance Rus (“Intrall”) and the Internet portal Cardesign.ru announced the launch of the “Combat Transport Vehicle of the 21st Century” competition. The participants were required to develop and present the appearance of a promising armored car that could be used in the army in the near future (early twenties). Reception of works was completed in late April, and in early May, the jury summed up the results of the competition. From 6 to 11 in May, an exhibition of entries was held at the All-Russian Museum of Decorative, Applied and Folk Art (Moscow). In addition to the sketches and drawings presented by the contestants, several prototypes of promising armored cars developed by Intrall were shown at the exhibition.

At the exhibition were presented for the first time the armored vehicles “Toros” and “Kolun”, created by the specialists of the Intrall company and the AMUR automobile plant (Novouralsk). According to available data, the shown prototypes of promising armored cars are built with extensive use of components and assemblies of existing equipment. The main "donors" of the components were civilian cars of domestic development. It is likely that such an approach to the creation of armored vehicles in the future will be able to simplify and cheapen their serial construction (of course, if the armored vehicles "Toros" and "Cleaver" find their customers).

Presented new armored cars "Toros" and "Cleaver"



Since the first demonstration of new armored cars took place as part of the exhibition of works submitted to the designers' competition, it is impossible not to note their interesting appearance. The project authors had to seriously work on the design of armored hulls. According to reports, they proceeded from the requirement of simplifying the design while maintaining its high characteristics. This is due to the characteristic forms of buildings, formed by conjugated rectilinear armored panels. It should be noted that the armored vehicles "Toros" and "Cleaver" got an interesting and recognizable appearance. As for the real characteristics of such cases, it is too early to talk about them.

Armored car "Toros" is designed to transport fighters with weapons and necessary goods. The design of the machine involves the use of several body options, depending on the wishes of the customer. In addition to the basic option for the transport of soldiers, the customer can get an ambulance or armored car with a cargo platform in the rear of the case. It is possible to build a cargo-passenger version with a shortened cab and a reduced space for cargo. Of the entire spectrum of possible modifications, only three were presented at the recent exhibition: basic, commanding and sanitary.





The total mass of the basic modification of the four-wheeled armored car "Toros" can reach 6,8 tons. With such a weight, the car has a length of more than 5,1 meters, a width of about 2,5 m and a height of 2,36 m. The armored car is equipped with a diesel engine with a turbocharging power 136 hp meeting the requirements of the Euro-4 standard. The engine is mated to a five-speed manual gearbox. The wheels of the armored car have an independent torsion bar suspension. One of the authors of the project, designer A. Kuzmin, told the ITAR-TASS news agency that the chassis of the vehicle uses certain units borrowed from domestic armored personnel carriers to ensure high performance.

Using such units, the armored car can reach speeds up to 85 km / h on a highway. The estimated range in such conditions reaches 1000 km. The machine is able to overcome water obstacles by swimming. The movement is carried out due to the rotation of the wheels.

Perspective armored car "Toros" can be protected in accordance with the 3 level of the standard STANAG 4569. This means that frontal armor with a thickness of 14 mm and onboard thickness up to 12 mm provide protection for the crew and units from the armor-piercing bullets of the cartridge 7,62 x51 mm. In addition, the armor is capable of holding fragments of an 155-mm artillery projectile in an explosion at a distance of 80 meters. Mine protection of the machine is carried out according to the NATO standard 2 level, and is able to withstand the undermining of 6 kg of TNT under the wheel. It is noted that at the maximum level of protection the armored car loses its ability to swim.








Armored car "Toros" has a fairly dense layout of the passenger cabin. In the basic version, designed to transport fighters with weaponsIt has ten seats. Two rows of three seats are located in the front and middle parts of the cab (including the driver's seat), four more seats are available in the rear. Thus, a new armored car can carry a squad of nine soldiers, not counting the driver. For boarding and disembarking on each side of the machine there are two doors that open in different directions. For access to the four rear seats, a door is provided in the hull aft sheet.

The “Cleaver” armored car has large dimensions in comparison with the “Toros” and the corresponding characteristics. Like the second armored car company Intrall, "Cleaver" is designed to perform transport functions. From the available information, it follows that on the basis of this armored vehicle a vehicle for transporting personnel or an armored heavy-duty truck can be created. According to the calculations of the authors of the project, with its own curb weight up to 9 tons, "Cleaver" will be able to transport up to 4 tons of cargo. One of the most interesting features of the project was shown at a recent exhibition: one of the prototypes had a six-wheeled chassis, the other - four-wheeled.






The AMUR plant has been building ZIL-131 trucks for several years, and the production of chassis for special equipment based on this machine continues to this day. It was this chassis that was chosen as the basis for the “Cleaver” armored car. After some modifications, the base chassis can be used for the construction of armored vehicles.

It is proposed to equip both "Cleaver" armored cars with a turbocharged diesel engine and an intercooler complying with the Euro-4 standard. Engine power - 136 HP The engine is connected to a five-speed manual gearbox. The chassis of the armored car, which is a further development of the units of the truck ZIL-131, is equipped with a dependent suspension based on longitudinal leaf springs with telescopic shock absorbers. Leading are the rear (rear) axles. If necessary, you can connect the front axle.

Since the armored vehicles "Toros" and "Cleaver" were developed in parallel, it is proposed to equip them with identical armor protection. The declared level of protection of the "Cleaver" armored truck corresponds to the level of protection of the "Toros". The machine can be protected from 7,62-mm armor-piercing rifle bullets and fragments of 155-mm projectiles at a distance of 80 m. In addition, mine protection from ammunition with a charge of up to 6 kg of TNT is declared.

As follows from the presented materials, the “Cleaver” armored car can be equipped with one of two types of armored hull. The first of them is proposed to be carried out in the form of two separate blocks: in one, the engine and the driver's cabin are placed, in the second - the landing force or cargo. The second option involves the use of a single armored hull. Regardless of the architecture of the hull, the “Cleaver” armored car is capable of transporting armed people to 16. Two seats are located next to the driver, the rest - in the amphibious troop compartment. For landing in the car, there are two doors in the sides of the driver's cabin and a large door in the rear of the hull.

The exhibition at the All-Russian Museum of Decorative, Applied and Folk Art showed five prototype machines: three versions of the Toros (basic, commanding and sanitary) and two versions of the Colun (six-wheeled with a troop compartment and four-wheeled without). All five machines are simplified prototypes. They use the components of the power plant and chassis, which are planned to be installed on serial equipment. At the same time, the machines are equipped with non-armored steel cases. Five machines are designed to test some technical solutions, as well as to demonstrate the project to potential buyers.

According to media reports, the work on the projects of armored vehicles "Toros" and "Cleaver" started about a year ago. During this time, Intrall employees developed a technical project, and AMUR plant built several prototype machines. Already conducted the first tests at the site in Nizhny Tagil. It is alleged that some foreign customers are interested in the projects. Who exactly - has not yet been reported. It is noted that the Russian armed forces are considered the main customers. The Russian Ministry of Defense, in turn, has not yet responded to new projects.

    The cleaver has a pretty face. Only here is an interesting situevina obtained. Similar machines BTR 152 were already produced in the USSR to them. at the request of the military !!!!! the designers abandoned the frame structure, the armored hull was the carrier itself. This allowed to significantly increase armor protection, without increasing the mass against the frame armored car. Dear designers, use the experience of ancestors. Modernize the BTR 152 to the modern level, taking as its basis its armored hull. and it seems to me it’s possible

      The luxury armored car "Kombat" has been privately produced in Russia for many years. He has a bottom - armor plate 100 mm. The engine, transmission and body are attached to it - also armored.

      I agree with you! It seems that the guys, apart from the books of Baryatinsky and Shugurov, did not open anything, although the reincarnation of the BTR-40, BTR-152 at the modern level is all the same yesterday. As if there is no South African experience, and yes Israel, and our experience should also be taken into account. But, the blues of the Mach, the design, especially in the "Cleaver", liked it - recognizable!

        Vom every now and then that they have no experience, for example, against real AT-mines. All the tricks used against them in MRAPs simply do not work, especially for mines with a "shock core". All these notions are against guerrilla warfare, against IEDs with a low explosive weight, but the gifts of today's partisans are at least a warhead from the Grad or a box of ordinary TNT in checkers weighing 12 kg, or maybe an ordinary barrel of fuel and lubricants stuffed with ammonal and saltpeter. The current evasions of developers are still powerless against such miracles. The latest bombings in Palestine or Afghanistan prove this, there are simply no survivors ...

    Very good cars turned out.
    The engineers of this enterprise did a good job on general design solutions so that these two types of armored vehicles could be launched as soon as possible.
    For the first time I see in our automotive industry, an integrated approach to solving the problem of equipping our power structures with such equipment.
    I was especially impressed by the TOROS family of multi-purpose vehicles, represented by a whole range of modifications for various tasks. I am especially pleased that there is a sanitary version with armor protection.
    In the configuration of the armored corps, it can be seen that they were conceived by a person who has a concept of armored protection.
    It is a pity that there is no photo of the back of the "COLON". I would like to see a ramp there.
    Of course, these machines require refinement and passing the test program.
    It is better to put a checkpoint "automatic" of course, Zilovskaya is certainly not bad, but ...
    As for the seats for "TOROS", there is a wish that they still be suspended (to the ceiling or to the walls). Also, instead of rubber, corrugated metal sheets were laid on the floor, and the upholstery of the sidewalls was not leatherette, but a splinter-resistant Kevlar lining.
    This instrument panel is not suitable. It is better that the instruments are standard for army vehicles.
    And so ... I wish all those who came up with and made such good luck machines.
    Maybe our security forces will order the equipment for you, at least for the BBO and the Far Eastern region.

          "Caiman"


          "Cayman" is a car for completely different tasks, mainly civil (geological exploration, etc.), first of all, it is a transport for serious off-road conditions (ie a wheeled snow and swamp vehicle, or as they are often called pneumatic vehicle). The machine has the lightest possible structure (load-bearing frame made of pipes, sheathed with fiberglass). Moreover, it is double in total.
          Such a machine is not suitable for installing armor and PMZ. As for most of the tasks facing military or police special vehicles.
          Its use in the military sphere, even for RDGs, is very limited, primarily due to its small internal dimensions and the complexity of such equipment in operation.

        Hello to you, Andrey! hi

        I will answer you this way, these machines were developed as soon as possible and this can be seen as God's day.
        The basis of the idea of ​​their construction was laid so that these machines could be started to be manufactured in an extremely short time, with minimal start financing, hence the Zil chassis, as well as the maximum unification, with units and assemblies already available in production.
        This is the main miracle.
        If we compare these samples in terms of creation time, with the world's leading analogs from the world's largest automobile concerns (which, by the way, have not sickly technical and financial capabilities), then our "kulibins" simply made them dry. laughing

            And for our security officials they will assemble from those nodes that are available with us, if necessary.
            And besides, these cars are just running models for demo shows and for running sea trials, that's all.

            Yes, I wrote and I do not refuse my words.
            But I wrote specifically on BTRam pr-va AMZ that existing drives can be replaced with drives with a constant velocity joint, instead of universal joints, because. SHRUS is less noisy, and most importantly, it vibrates less during rotation, which increases the service life of transmission components and reduces the effects of noise and vibration on people in the car.
            And about the abandonment of bridges in the construction of wheeled armored personnel carriers, I did not write. In the existing armored corps, this is simply unrealistic.

        6 kg of explosives is enough for the crew and passengers to turn into mincemeat if the explosion occurred directly under the bottom, but there is a moment, they practically don’t make a laying in the roadway if it is not a factory PT mine (and this is a 100% defeat from elementary barotrauma).
        1. The bookmark is placed on the side of the road, which is less noticeable and there is the possibility of increasing the weight of the charge without much effort to mask it.
        2. Most modern machines for remote clearance work only directly at the rate of + -20 degrees.
        3. V-shaped bottom does not save from lateral undermining.
        And there are many such nuances. Let's remember the notorious "Lynx" as supporters of Western technology fought for it, they pointed to the bottom (by the way, made of ordinary metal), composite armor and a cool armored capsule. But in fact, this is an ordinary civilian chassis with installed armored elements without any armored capsule. The contingent in Afghanistan has no respect at all for this parody of a military off-road vehicle ... And we must remember 80% of all equipment is eliminated in the course of only combat use, with all the shortcomings revealed. A real example of "Marder" due to the incorrect location of the weld on the bottom, during the detonation of the troop compartment, a folded sheet of armor cuts off the legs of the paratroopers sitting on the left in the direction of travel. There are enough such examples, and MRAP from this is not a panacea, but a usual rise in price at the expense of functionality in most cases.

    The face of the cleaver is very pretty. Only here is an interesting situevina obtained. Similar machines BTR 152 were already produced in the USSR to them. at the request of the military !!!!! the designers abandoned the frame structure, the armored hull was the carrier itself. This allowed to significantly increase armor protection, without increasing the mass against the frame armored car. Dear designers, use the experience of ancestors. Modernize the BTR 152 to the modern level, taking as its basis its armored hull. and it seems to me that it’s a worthwhile thing. March 24, 1950 was adopted by the BTR-152. The carrying armored corps reliably protected 2 crew members, and 15-17 motorized rifles. Boards from a machine gun fire. frontal armor did not succumb to large-caliber armor-piercing bullets. It was even fired from 45 weaves in the forehead. An armored personnel carrier failed, without damage to the crew. After the Hungarian events, the BTR-152 began to be equipped with an armored roof. The carrying armored hull turned out to be significantly cheaper and more reliable than the frame structure with hinged armor protection. Now let’s dream what it might be like now. YaMZ-650 engine, there are modifications of 500 hp Of course, not 800 hp against the Volvo but it is a force. Renovtsy seemed to promise to bring this engine to 600hp. but dont know. YaMZ-650 licensed Renovsky engine Dixie 11. So 500 hp against 130., on the 152nd. The armor is naturally increasing. The total weight with the new engine can easily be increased to 15 tons A in specially armored and up to 20 tons. Against 8-10 tons. Hodovka, bridges, I would like an independent suspension like Tatrovsky. But probably this is not real. Well, at least make the front end independent. Box, well, I want a machine. Speed, with such an engine, you can easily rush at a speed of 150 km. h Yes it remains to add that the soldiers are landing from the rear of the APC, being protected by armor. But the dashboard can and should be made beautiful. And do not unify with the T-34 tank. believe it, modern dashboards are much cheaper, and much more informative and much more reliable than army counterparts. How do you like this bronik?
