Scorpions for the Russian army

Russia, following foreign countries such as the USA, France and Germany, began to pay great attention to the development of light armored vehicles. Scorpio-LTA and Scorpio-LSHA - the latest examples of Russian armored vehicles. Domestic armored vehicles manufactured by CJSC Protecting Corporation in their parameters do not lag behind the best foreign analogues.

The first phenomenon of a light tactical car Scorpio public occurred during the international salon "Integrated Safety-2011". It is planned that the novelty will be able to participate in counter-terrorism and intelligence operations, patrolling territories, as well as accompanied by convoys on any roads and in their absence. Permeability of the car at the highest level. Reliable cover provide machine guns "Kord" and KPVT, as well as grenade launcher "Flame".

With the mass of an armored car in 4 tons, its speed limit - 130 km / h, the power reserve of the Scorpion-LTA is equal to one thousand kilometers. Small bullet protection weaponsinstalled on the car, equated to 6 class GOST, additionally installed structures that protect against detonation of explosive devices within 6 kg TNT.

The society met with the light assault car Scorpio in 2010 year. This armored vehicle can be used to transport eight people, transport cargo, evacuate the wounded, and also participate in special ground operations. As well as the model described above, the Scorpion-LSHA can be a carrier of weapons and be used in any weather on any roads. At present, this armored car is being tested according to a special program of the Russian Ministry of Defense, since it is planned that in the coming months light assault vehicles will go into service.

The appearance of new light armored vehicles is not too different from conventional SUVs. Hidden reservation leads to the fact that an outsider may not distinguish at all military equipment from a conventional car. At the same time, tests are also conducted on the unarmored civilian version of the Scorpions, which can become a traveling part of the commanding staff. Cars are crammed with special equipment, including video tracking devices, navigation devices, fuse suppression devices and others. Such a filling can save the life of the driver and passengers in many situations.

Why does Tabouretkin buy Italian cars

[Jaguar]

this machine of different classes. 4 tons and 6,5 tons

[SergeySK]

Jaguar,

It’s only because the rear compartment is covered with an awning and the tank is not armored! ! Replace the tent with armor and the masses will equal!

But the fully armored rear compartment guarantees against a situation when, when fired from behind, the first RPG breaks the tent and the second makes a hole in the cabin! ! !

[His]

Something they did not write about the engines - what kind of production?

[korotkov_rostov]

PREPARING OUR ARMY TO DEFEAT!

[Reddragon]

In "Military Secret" they said the Italian for the border guards and to push our military-industrial complex.
It’s high time to get used to the attacks of the Moscow Region, where the merchant is sitting there, not the military man.

[Roman Skomorokhov]

So they are glamorous, there is Italian design ... From the best furniture manufacturers. And the fact that they are none in our conditions are aspects. Firstly, they have stylish door handles (from Gucci, probably), and secondly, it’s possible to stumble over money.

[Vadivak]

In some issue of "Soldier of Fortune" I read how eccentrics were pulling Len-Rovers out of the sand, and UAZ cars packed with mujahideen with DShK, RPG and other ammunition, not including lowered ones, were driving past them on the same sand. There are traditions, there is a school, there are groundwork, but interesting ideas of an adversary need to be implemented at home and notice for free how they are with Kalash, for example

[Owl]

Which and whose engine is installed?

[Sergh]

Eagle owl, you're a strange guy! Take a look at the little thing again.

[Varnaga]

It seems they want to compete with the defense industry.

[slan]

I do not understand, homemade or what? But the car factories do not want, or they are not given?
I guess that this is a company with a co-founder of some grand-nephew Taburetkin, won the MO tender for the development of a prototype, yesterday's students were hired for the money left over from the saw, ready to collect a "promising" sample from spare parts from exist.ru for the idea at night. They may have a glint in their eyes, but experience, design school and material and technical base - zero. So there is nothing to be happy about. It is enough to think about how this company of two people, a telephone and 10 locksmiths is going to carry out final tests. The correct answer, most likely, is not going to, the appearance of a stormy activity has been made, the money has been mastered .. I hope I am wrong.
By the way, in comparison with "Tiger" it looks unprepossessing purely visually.
Well, you can't make a modern car in a garage where cash collection booths are hung on "loaves"

[serezhafedotow]

Anything just not ,, foreigners ,,!

[Isk1984]

I don’t support the idea of ​​ramping up cars of this class, it seems that everyone in the world is going to disperse the crowds only (although you can’t dismiss this fact, the situation is not so good), but in real combat actions all this will burn like matches.

[Vadimburan]

there are many Hummers in USArmy, they work in "real" combat operations

[nokki]

Do you know the statistics of losses or have you seen it in combat conditions? And here I was talking with my fellow officer, who "watched" them in Iraq: they are burning for a sweet soul! The conversation is about something else: we must put everything really worthwhile at the service of Russia!

[Klibanophoros]

And if mortar shelling begins, then those who will sit in armored cars of this kind will have a hundred times greater chance of survival than those who rode in the frosty UAZ with a tarpaulin roof.

[koosss]

* get it right, anyway we won’t see them in the army) ..

[DEfindER]

Damn, the usual Hamye Amer’s, even worse .. and where did these burry students come from, and what kind of car factory will collect them, so far nothing is clear at all ..

[2sila]

How long it is already possible to weld a couple of iron sheets to the "civilian aavn" and call it modern BA. And if you weld 5 cm armor plates from the sides, then you can continue to come up with protection classes - "9" for example! What are 6 kg, who checked, where? The seats in the cabin are just for pokatushek with "chicks". Modern armored vehicles protected by the MRAP programs require the most tight fastening of four-point belts with quick release and massive anatomical headrests that also hang over the shoulders and fix them! On the example of IVECO LMV in Afghanistan, during all the explosions, more than one wounded person did not break the roof. Two of them had at least compression fractures and crushing of the lumbar vertebrae, but IEDs also exploded in this case under cars and were more powerful than 20 kg.

Here is the destiny of all such obsolete designs on IEDs dangerous theater!

[vylvyn]

Damn, not enough. To do so, one platform - like the Wolf. And more to transfer the landing on the fast, and more equipment to place, and the weapon kit is more sophisticated. And this one is a variant of UAZ weighted with armored plates. As always, well ... only generals and colonels to carry their wives? The size of the doors pleased. We have large generals and colonels.

[Bad_gr]

Quote: vylvyn

Damn, not enough.

For me, it's better than Iveka (Lynx). The claimed protection is the same with a freer cabin and less weight of the machine itself.

[vylvyn]

A free cabin is not visible here. The knees will rest in the front seats. But the front seat for the general or colonel, really free. I’m saying that we have large generals and colonels.

[Норд]

Something did not impress me with this unit. I will make a reservation right away - I am not special in armored vehicles, I did not go on it myself, but questions arise.
1. The engine, gearbox, suspension - American and all sorts of there "someday", "in the future", "subject to the establishment of production" do not roll.
2. On the video, I never saw the V-shaped bottom.
3. Straining recognition that the car is not for marshy roads.
4. Ceramic armor and weight 4t ????
In my opinion, it’s better for the guys to develop scooters. Maybe there they are more lucky.
PS. I didn’t want to offend anyone.
