Combat anti-sabotage machine 15Ц56М Typhoon-M
Currently, one of the main directions of development of the armed forces of Russia is the renewal of armaments and equipment of the strategic missile forces. To maintain the required combat effectiveness of this type of armed forces, not only rocket technology, but also various auxiliary vehicles are required. Currently, the Strategic Missile Forces units receive new combat anti-sabotage vehicles (BPDM) "Typhoon-M", whose task is to escort mobile ground-based missile systems and their protection from a possible attack.
It is known that the first version of the anti-sabotage machine 15Ц56 "Typhoon" was developed since the late nineties. The goal of this project was to create a special armored combat vehicle capable of protecting objects and equipment of the Strategic Missile Forces. The project was created by NPO Strela (Tula), now part of the Almaz-Antey Air Defense Concern. The base for the Typhoon was supposed to be the BTR-80 armored personnel carrier. According to reports, the Typhoon project did not lead to any real results. Information about the mass production of such equipment is missing.
The failure of the Typhoon project, however, did not affect the needs of the missile forces. There was still a need for the development and mastering of serial production of anti-sabotage machines. The second attempt to provide the Strategic Missile Forces with the necessary equipment was made in the middle of the last decade. The development of the modernized machine 15Ц56М “Typhoon-M” started approximately in 2007 year and continued until 2012-th. In the same year, a prototype was built, which was put to the test.
In 2013, the first copy of the Tayfun-M combat anti-sabotage vehicle was handed over to the Serpukhov branch of the RVSN Military Academy. Peter the Great. Specialists of this organization had to learn a new car, and after that they should start training crews of such equipment. At the end of the summer of 2013, it was announced that the first production Typhoons-M would be transferred to the missile forces before the start of the 2014. At the same time, additional retraining and advanced training courses for the commanders of the security and intelligence units and teachers of the educational institution were held in Serpukhov. Specialists of the project development organization took an active part in these events.
Later, there were reports of the start of mass production of new BPDM and the transfer of such equipment to the troops. However, the exact volume of production has not yet been announced. According to the Defense Ministry, published in August 2013, the first Typhoon-M production vehicles were to be sent to serve in the Teikov missile division of the Strategic Missile Forces. The start date of their operation was called the end of 2013 of the year. In 2014, there were reports of the continuation of the serial construction of new equipment and its transfer to the troops. The operators of anti-sabotage machines became the strategic rocket forces, which are armed with mobile ground systems: Novosibirsk, Tagil and Teikov.

To date, a sufficient amount of information has been published on TYPHON-M BPDM, which allows for a general picture. The new combat vehicle is based on the BTR-82 armored personnel carrier chassis. This chassis has higher performance compared to the previous BTR-80, and is also being mass-produced at present. Thus, a sufficiently high degree of unification with other equipment of the armed forces that is being built and transferred to the troops at the moment was achieved.
According to reports, in terms of size and combat weight, the Typhoon-M BPDM hardly differs from the base armored personnel carrier. Its length is 7,58 m, width - 2,98 m, height - 2,44 m. The combat weight reaches 14,85 t. The machine is equipped with a KAMAZ 740.13-300 turbocharged diesel engine with a power of 300 hp. Such a power plant allows it to reach speeds on the highway up to 80 km / h and travel up to 700 km at one gas station.
During the construction of the anti-sabotage vehicle, a set of special equipment is installed on the body of the base armored personnel carrier. Part of the equipment is mounted inside the case. In addition, a special superstructure is installed on the roof with some equipment. In place of the machine gun turret, a small-sized combat module with a PKTM machine gun of 7,62 mm caliber is installed. For greater convenience of maintenance and reduction of dimensions, the combat module is equipped with a remote control system from the workplace of one of the crew members.

The combat module has an optical-electronic surveillance system suitable for monitoring the situation both during the day and at night, or in adverse weather conditions. With the help of a set of cameras, the operator of the combat module can monitor the surrounding space and produce visual detection of various objects. In case of detection of enemy fighters, he can open fire with a machine gun.
The main element of a set of equipment installed on the roof of a combat vehicle is a lifting mast with a radar antenna. In the stowed position, the antenna folded and the mast lie on the roof of the hull. During combat work, they rise and allow you to monitor the surrounding terrain. BPDM “Typhoon” was supposed to equip the radar “Credo-1”. The equipment of the Typhoon-M machine also uses a radar station, but its exact model is not yet known. There is reason to believe that optical-electronic equipment is also present in the complex of all-weather day-to-day observation and detection tools.
There is information about the range of the observation and detection complex. With the help of optical-electronic and radar stations, operators can spot armored vehicles at a distance of up to 6 km. Standing man shows up at distances up to 3 km. For obvious reasons, depending on various circumstances, the actual detection range of certain objects may be lower.
To expand the range of the Typhoon-M BPDM, it is equipped with Eleron-3SV unmanned aerial vehicles. UAVs equipped with optical-electronic means of observation and can be used for patrolling territories. Each such apparatus is capable of being in the air and observing for two hours. The range of the drone is 25 km. According to some reports, each anti-sabotage vehicle has two aircraft and one set of auxiliary equipment.
The main task of BPMD "Typhoon-M" is to protect mobile ground-based missile systems from possible sabotage on patrol routes. The enemy sabotage groups, according to the military and the authors of the project, can use various means of destruction, including remote-controlled explosive devices. To counter this threat, the Typhoon-M machine is equipped with an electronic warfare system. This system is designed to suppress possible radio signals controlling explosive devices.

According to reports, during combat operations, the Typhoon-M anti-sabotage vehicles must be accompanied by mobile ground missile systems of the Topol or Yars family. The task of the crew is to monitor the environment and search for potentially dangerous objects. In the case of their detection, the crew can open fire from an existing machine gun or cause help. The equipment used allows monitoring in any weather and at any time of the day and keep under control a zone with a radius of up to 6 km or more (when using UAVs). In addition, equipment is provided to prevent the use of radio-controlled explosive devices by the enemy.
According to the latest reports that appeared earlier, 15Ц56М Typhoon-M combat anti-sabotage vehicles are being mass-produced and are being used by the Strategic Missile Forces units operating mobile soil complexes. To date, the Teikov, Tagil and Novosibirsk rocket divisions have acquired such equipment. The exact number of vehicles already delivered and the requirements of the military, as well as the pace of production, are still unknown. Nevertheless, even without such information, it is clear that the Strategic Missile Forces receive modern equipment that can improve the safety of missile systems and ensure the fulfillment of their combat mission.
