In Bronnitsy showed new armored car "Ansir"
The armored vehicle "Ansyr" was developed by the specialists of the Wheeled Machines department (SM-10) of the MGTU. N.E. Bauman. The tender for the development of a promising armored car with the code "Ansir" (Ansir or Antsyr - old mass unit, equal to 1,3 pound or 128 spools) was announced in spring 2011 of the year. Perspective armored vehicle designed for use in various departments of the Interior Ministry and, possibly, the armed forces. The mission of this vehicle is to patrol, support special operations, as well as escort and guard columns. When developing this car, the need to protect the crew and the machine’s units from small arms was taken into account. weapons and fragments of explosive devices or shells. In addition, the authors of the project paid great attention to the possibility of crossing water barriers by swimming.
When considering the armored vehicle "Ansir" the first thing that strikes the eye is its characteristic appearance, which makes us recall some foreign cars of this class. Some features of the ANSIR design resemble the French armored vehicle Panhard VBL and the Turkish Otocar Cobra. It is noteworthy that several years ago there were rumors about the possibility of licensed production of French VBL cars at Russian enterprises, which, however, did not receive any confirmation.
The armored vehicle "Ansyr" has a combat mass at the level of 4 tons and is capable of speeding up to 125 km / h on the highway. It is claimed that for acceleration to 100 km / h it takes 25 seconds. Such characteristics are provided by a two-axle all-wheel drive chassis and an 180 hp engine. Engine type unknown. The armored car is equipped with independent wheel suspension. The type of shock absorbers is unknown. It is known that the wheels of the Ansir armored car should have a tire pressure adjustment system. An important feature of the armored car is the ability to swim. According to reports, the new armored car can be on the water for at least an hour and move at a wave height of up to 30. See the maximum speed on the water, achieved with the help of rotating wheels, reaching 5 km / h.
According to official data, the armored body of the Ansyr machine meets the requirements of 5 protection class according to the domestic classification and is able to withstand a rifle bullet of a 7,62 mm caliber without an armor-piercing core. The body of the new machine is assembled from several rectilinear panels mated at different angles. The layout of the hull is standard for light class armored vehicles. In front of the hull is the engine and part of the transmission units, and the rest of the volume of the body is given under the habitable compartment. For the purpose of cooling the engine, blinds are provided in the hood and sides of the hull. To increase the level of protection, relatively thick windshields are set at an angle to the vertical.
In the habitable volume of the hull there are three places for the crew: two in the front and one in the stern. For embarkation and disembarkation, the crew must use two doors in the sides of the hull and one in the stern. Crew members in the front seats can monitor the situation through large windshields and glazed doors. The shooter has three relatively small windows in the sides and aft door. Glazing doors and side windows are equipped with loopholes for firing personal weapons.
In the stern of the roof of the armored vehicle "Ansir", shown in Bronnitsy, there is a turret for mounting weapons. Unfortunately, the prototype turret was closed with a canvas cover, from which only the weapon mounting bracket protruded. The photograph of an armored car published by MGTU. Bauman last year, the tower or the combat module was completely absent. According to the developer, the armored vehicle "Ansir" can be armed with a large-caliber machine gun or an automatic grenade launcher.
In November last year, the prototype of the Ansyr armored car set off for preliminary tests. Apparently, during the tests, the machine confirmed the design characteristics. Exact information about further work within the project is not available. Probably currently MGTU them. Bauman and related organizations are engaged in testing and fine-tuning the machine.
The armored car "Ansir", as follows from the available data, is of particular interest. This is a light armored vehicle with a good level of protection, capable of solving various tasks arising before units of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. At the same time, the ability of the machine to float may cause some doubts, since the units of the Ministry of the Interior rarely have to have a water barrier. However, the ANSIR does not have any separate propulsive devices for moving on water, which does not lead to a complicated structure.
The use of a large-caliber machine gun or an automatic grenade launcher as a weapon can significantly increase the flexibility of the machine, since it will be possible to determine the most suitable weapon for current tasks. Also, the armored vehicle "Ansyr" can probably be equipped with various towers or combat modules with weapons.
The further fate of the project "Ansir" is still unknown. Perhaps new messages about the new armored car for the Ministry of the Interior will appear in the near future.
