New photo of the prototype of the Typhoon armored vehicle

A new spectacular photo of one of the prototypes of a promising family of armored vehicles, created for the Russian Armed Forces on the topic Typhoon, appeared in the network. Prototype development of KAMAZ. The photo was taken, apparently, on the closed part of a recent demonstration of promising vehicles at the Bronnitsy range.

From the amateur’s point of view, it’s just KAMAZ.

[Draz]

What is this colossus for? To transport people, cargo? It seems that APCs and Co. are managing the transfer of infantry. Cargo? I do not think that, given the reservation, he will be able to take a lot on himself. There is no armament .... Huge
It is worth noting that the armor on it looks impressive and it can be assumed that it will withstand 12.7 mm. In the city you can use it as a battering ram to make holes in the walls / demolish the gates. As a shelter for soldiers, evacuation from shelling in the city will do. It would be more specific to find out why this Monster is needed.

[Helmut]

It is needed only for one thing - to protect against mines and land mines, because it is high and with a serious clearance, plus, in theory, there should be a V-shaped bottom. In conversations with "Chechens" I heard that a simple KAMAZ, when hitting a mine or a land mine, more often saved the lives of soldiers than BMP and armored personnel carriers. Like a wave flies around its thick frame from different sides. But these are rumors. And as in real life hz. Although it may be.
And I also understand this development of know-how when in the back of a Ural / Kamaz truck there is such an armored box with windows (I think many have seen these on TV (and not only), on which specialists drive.

"Ural" is better, "Kamaz" has a land mine or mine exploded under the cockpit ... this is 2-3 "200"

[SergeySK]

IF YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT IT IS AND FOR WHAT IT NEEDS THERE IS YOU!

Armored "Typhoon"
Multipurpose armored vehicle "Typhoon" is jointly created by the companies "KAMAZ" and "Ural". According to experts, this armored vehicle will be at the level of foreign armored vehicles manufactured according to the “MRAP” technology.
Last year, a sample of the Typhoon series was shown to the head of the Russian state. After that, the head of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation made a statement about the nearest purchase of Typhoon armored vehicles for the Armed Forces.
"Typhoon" - a special development of armored military vehicles. The end of development in several versions of armored vehicles "Typhoon" - 2014 year. The exact characteristics of the Typhoon machines have not been officially announced, the available unofficial information about them at this time is largely contradictory.


Presented at the demonstration modular "Typhoon" has:
- wheel formula 6 on 6;
- weight order 24 tons;
- Russian-made engine with power 450 hp;
- Automatic box;
- bulletproof tires;
- automatic pumping wheels;
- variable pressure from 1 to 4.5 atmospheres;
- seats for 16-ti;
- holders for weapons of personnel;
- FVUA-XNUMHA;
- air conditioning;
- a triple cabin with a berth and 2 protection screens.
Armor performance characteristics:
- Combined protection (ceramics and steel) bulletproof glass and armor;
- holds ammunition up to 14.5 mm caliber;
- will withstand the explosion of a mine ammunition to 8 kilogram in TNT.


Shooting from the car can be conducted from loopholes and a machine gun, which can be installed on the roof, fire from it is conducted remotely.
The entrance to the car is through the door or folding ramp. There are also emergency hatches on the roof of the machine module.
Options for using the modular version of "Typhoon":
- reconnaissance vehicle;
- command post vehicle;
- fire support special vehicle;
- RCB machine and engineering intelligence;
- escort and guard machine;
- medical service machine;
- machine for transporting people and goods.
The corpus version of the Typhoon is in many respects identical to the modular version. There is practically no data about him. It is known that the car has:
- 2-x local cabin;
- wheel formula 6 on 6;
- spaced armor withstanding 30 mm ammunition;
- a door in the cabin for passage into the hull module;
- 10 seats and personal weapon holders.
Another version of the Typhoon armored vehicle is being created, which will have:
- chassis KAMAZ-4310;
- weight about 17.5 tons;
- fuel consumption: on 100 kilometers 35 liters of fuel;
- range over 600 km without refueling;
- speed up to 80 km / h;
According to unconfirmed data, they are developing a smaller version of Typhoon, which the People managed to get the name Typhoon. Unofficial data:
- HP 325 engine;
- automatic transmission;
- weight about 14 tons;
- load capacity about 3000 kilogram;
- range of about 1200 km without refueling;

Additional Information
All armored vehicles of the Typhoon series are equipped with an independent hydropneumatic suspension, the latest propulsion systems. They will receive BISA and special seating to ensure mine protection of personnel.

[MichaelVl]

To frighten the enemies with a new modern spectacular appearance :)
Or maybe there is provision for the installation of some kind of missile system in his "belly" ...

[Stavr]

Most likely it will be a control machine, stuffed with communication equipment, it will probably be installed in a single tactical link control system (ESU TK) "Constellation".

[Vladimir]

People! This is one of the prototypes of a unified armored platform, despite the fact that it is an easy option and without weapons. Most likely he has a hatch in the upper part of the armored module, and maybe several, which can be adapted for different types of weapons, both manual and remote control. Most likely there will be more modifications for medicine, communications and for the transport of goods and troops.

[Owl]

in a "sluggish" war, this is necessary, in 2000 we sheathed the sides of the Ural with logs and sheets of iron from the fences of the suburb of Grozny, it helped a little ... 2 fragments got stuck in the log ...

[figwam]

In Mexico, drugs are being taken across the US border to flee the police

[His]

If it’s not done, we will definitely buy farts

[SLAVA]

In my opinion, the machine is not for war, or not only for war, but most likely the main application for use with t.s. riots, during the dispersal of dementstrants, in short against their own people !!! A water cannon from above or something else (to shoot a bird cherry) and forward !!!

[datur]

police bus for policemen.

[Joker]

So you all pounced

Do not develop - bad
Developed presented - even worse.

IMHO before making a verdict you need to know the performance characteristics.


figwam, Respect, cool tractor, I want this to the country, to go for mushrooms and berries ..

[datur]

Joker, he will not pass through us. Do you know the terrain? and there is a desert. so alas.

[Joker]

Yes, I find the main body, I’ll find the chassis from which I’ll adapt it more easily.

[figwam]

They take a regular truck and weld on metal sheets 2.5 cm thick, the tank is inside, the "suicide bombers" too.

[Joker]

As far as I understand, judging by the design, this bobik must confidently move along the flat wastelands, overcome cardon from police cars and keep shots of pistols and shotguns (Pindos police assault rifles do not seem to be provided for in normal mode as usual), IMHO, for such purposes, the thing is very suitable.
