American edition appreciated new Russian all-terrain vehicle

The new all-terrain vehicle TTM-4902 "Ruslan", created in Nizhny Novgorod, has a number of advantages, can be used for the transfer of infantrymen and for the development of the Arctic spaces. Its characteristics make the car a truly versatile vehicle, leading RIA News An article published on the American resource Popular Mechanics.

“Ruslan is a civilian tracked all-terrain vehicle TTM-4902, purchased for the Russian Ground Forces. The TTM-4902 is equipped with a KAMAZ turbodiesel engine in 300 horsepower and can simultaneously carry a 22 person or 2,5 tons of cargo, ”the author writes.

He emphasizes that "initially the all-terrain vehicle was created to work in arctic conditions, for which it is equipped with wide tracks, providing optimal pressure for movement through the snow." According to the resource, "the vehicle can reach speeds in 46 km / h."

“The all-terrain vehicle consists of two parts. The first one is equipped with an engine, and here 6 people can be accommodated, as well as a 2 folding bed. The second section is equipped with space for 16 people and accommodates up to 6 beds, ”writes the publication.

According to the author, “the TTM-4902 armored covering deserves special attention, which allows it to continue working even in shelling conditions”.

In Russia, a significant part of the territory is covered by permafrost and is located in the most severe climatic conditions. Such a technique is simply necessary as air. So we must have the best for the development of the Arctic and the North. Thanks to the designers.

[vlad66]

The Arctic is a serious region and such a technique will help us master it. It is interesting how it was appreciated in Russia, and not in the American edition.

[cniza]

Yes, there is a lot of interesting things and the future of the Arctic will become a very important region, who didn’t manage to be late.

[Baikonur]

Such all-terrain vehicles are a great thing not only in the Arctic! In any terrain, these tractors are very useful! And to pull out the tank, and everywhere they will pass and help. Such a faithful mule workhorse would come in handy for every ground unit! Yes, and in civilian life and in the Ministry of Emergencies!
I watched and rejoiced a lot for our technology kostruktor!

A small "civilian" KAMAZ engine of 300 horses can easily pull and the tank all depends on the transmission and chassis!
For that light, for transporting people, it will be much more economical than tank-like monsters.

".... Tracked two-link snow and swamp vehicle TTM-4902 Ruslan.

The two-link caterpillar floating snow and swamp vehicle TTM-4902 Ruslan is designed to provide emergency recovery work, transportation of repair crews and cargo.
A feature of this all-terrain vehicle TTM-4902 Ruslan is its unique cross-country ability, which is ensured by three degrees of freedom (with the possibility of blocking):

horizontal rotation
rotation about the longitudinal axis of the all-terrain vehicle,
rotation relative to each other in a vertical plane.

The snow and swamp vehicle TTM-4902 Ruslan confidently moves through swamps with any surface, unlike ordinary all-terrain vehicles, it can climb steep banks, rafts, overcome ditches, ravines and other difficult sections on rough terrain.

Having caught at least one caterpillar on the TTM-4902 snow and swamp vehicle for a small area of ​​the support, the machine can get out of the most difficult situation on the roads.

Passability through swamps and virgin snow is complemented by buoyancy - it easily crosses rivers and lakes at a speed of 5 km / h. Another advantage of the Ruslan snow and swamp vehicle is its smooth running and low ground pressure.

Three hydraulic cylinders of the swivel-hitch device provide the ТТМ-4902 Ruslan snow and swamp vehicle, changing the angle between the links in the horizontal and vertical planes, including for turning the machine left and right and folding the links up and down when passing obstacles.

The swivel hitch provides rotation around the longitudinal axis ..... "

But the tanks in the swamps of the tundra have nothing to do. I served for some time beyond the Arctic Circle, so there our tanks could only move along the roads, otherwise they just drowned in melted permafrost.

Alexei, you think what tank, what asphalt? Where, in the tundra, beyond the Arctic Circle or in the Arctic, are you going to ride a tank and why?

Once, in 1971, while serving beyond the Arctic Circle, I saw a Soviet-style similar vehicle that carried tactical missiles (a tractor with a trailer, while the trailer was controllable from the tractor and with very wide tracks) along the complete impassability and through the swamps of the summer north. And it was not a civilian development. So in the USSR, such a technique was highly appreciated. Such a cross did not even dream of a tank.

The Americans are winding up on the Arctic mustache they have a sick one. And you want (ambition rod ..) and prick (Arctic equipment, icebreakers, etc., are clearly not enough) ..

I left Western Siberia in 2004 - we already had such equipment there - the swamp rover was called like Vityaz, the same goose circuit and trailer on tracks.
Why did it suddenly become a novelty? because it was additionally insulated (we had frosts up to 60 degrees in Siberia anyway), or because can the Kamaz engine be installed there now?

[Magic archer]

for the northern latitudes it’s the same. Finns and Swedes have similar transporters. We also had a military model. But I don’t seem to get into the troops ...

[willi]

I myself am from Gorky. So this machine was running back in the mid-80s (either a diploma, or a postgraduate study at the auto faculty of our Polytechnic University), but it was made on the basis of the ShiShiGi ((GAZ-66). (!!! Please do not confuse it with the auger on that- the same base, which was shown in "PROGRAM TIME" on TV in the early 80s, and (which I will be surprised myself) in the early 2000s.
There is nothing fundamental.

[Primus pilus]

Such an all-terrain vehicle can be found everywhere.

[ohtsistem]

And it is right to prepare for American and other ambitions in the Arctic. Let the enemies envy

[Tra-ta-ta]

In the distant 1974 year, the Swedish company Haeggulunds, now a division of the BAE Land Sistems corporation, won a state tender for the development and development of serial production of light articulated tracked all-terrain vehicles designed for the armed forces, rescue and patrol units.
A normal copy .., only 300 mares will not be enough.

In terms of its capabilities, it is a World War I airplane compared to the Russian Ruslan!

[electrooleg]

In this "moose" the articulation itself is not capable of anything. In "knights" it is a serious manipulator with several degrees of freedom, which can bend the angle between the links in any given direction. And I do not understand the meaning of this "Ruslan", when we have an unsurpassed "knight" since Soviet times, which was developed as a promising polar tank.

So "Vityaz" is much larger. "Ruslan" in size is something between a knight and a Swede. The wider the ATV fleet, the better.

And if a "bike" from another manufacturer is made of better quality, the characteristics are higher, and the price is lower? Moreover, is it produced in our country?
One is alarming: Kamaz is being seen. Since the time of Serdyukov, KAMAZ has been trying to crush all wheel equipment for itself, but this is not good.

But you should also consider the money for the development of the project, the adjustment of production and so on. DT-10 already coming off the assembly line, I think, will also be cheaper.

III, why did you write this? Copy? 300 mares are not enough, but how many are not enough? Can you provide a calculation? The 21st research institute in even more distant 1971 began the test of the future DT-10 Vityaz, if that.

Tractor Plants wants to transform the TM-140A Arctic all-terrain vehicle and make it unmanned. This was stated by the president and co-owner of the concern Albert Bakov. A similar innovation will help transport goods in the Far North without human intervention. Bakov said that the goal of Tractor Plants was to reach a level at which five cars a day in the form of a caravan delivered cargo to the right place using GLONASS. In this case, the route for the equipment will be laid in advance. It is important that such trips can be carried out without human assistance. According to Bakov, personnel will be needed only to service new unmanned ATVs. But for these purposes one or two people will be required. The task is to completely avoid the use of the crew. The tracked vehicle ТМ-140А ​​is specially designed for transportation in the Arctic climate. It can also be used in various difficult areas, in off-road conditions, swamps or heavy snow. The vehicle is easily mounted bulletproof protection and remote machine gun installation, which can be controlled remotely.http://rueconomics.ru/104548-v-rossii-razrabotayut-bespilotnyiy-vezdehod-dlya-ar

My opinion in the form described in the article "Ruslan" is not needed, why not make it multifunctional, change modules for different tasks and save money, the second question is the technical base, in what state is it, just talk? The third point is not specified, can it float? I agree with the comments about the Knights, a whole line of machines has already been developed there, including and the military, in addition, these machines have been in operation in the North for a long time and already have their own supply base, so why also "Ruslan"? In addition, 2,5 tons for equipment is not enough

Have you exploited Vityaz DT-10 in real life? Only a person who has no idea about their operation will talk about the reliability of this technique.
The assembly is complete ha..o, there is no quality, permanent damage. Box, engine (3-4 walks), welding, etc., can be continued indefinitely.
I’m even afraid that such equipment is delivered to the troops with such quality.

[Severok]

This is a type of TTM- "Taiga", only with a trailer ... Experience with TTM- "Taiga":
- fastening track extensions to bolts with plates (quickly welded to the links of the tracks) and tubes (bushings) is a unique solution; when driving on a rocky tundra, expanders are quickly lost, pulling a track with these rubber products in the cold is still a pleasure.
- transmission, if a breakdown occurs, then the search for spare parts as in that song is beautiful far away, it is almost impossible to find.
- there are several autonomous heaters in the tractor, it seems good, but until then, until you have to carry out an item similar to paragraph 2 (spare parts)
- the location and capacity of the fuel tanks is similar to that of the GTS, that is, until you completely fill the car, you will run into laughter: 4 different tanks of 35 liters ....

You can continue, but lazily. And so, looking at the picture it is clear why and for whom they made this car. Obviously not for those who are faced with its real operation in the Arctic.
