Russian armored vehicles "Shot" in Syria

A photograph of an armored KamAZ-43269 “Shot” located in Syria was first posted on the network in March 2016. Then a reconnaissance version of the car, “Dozor”, accidentally got into the camera lens. But as we managed to find out later, “before their first“ flare ”,“ Shots ”, also known as BPM-97, had been in this hot spot for half a year,” writes in an article for Messenger of Mordovia Roman Katkov.

“Thus, in a number of sources, a photograph of the“ armored Kamaz ”appeared in the characteristic desert camouflage, dated as early as October 2015 of the year. True, unlike the intelligence officer, this armored car is generally without armament and, apparently, the very first releases, ”the author reports.

“It’s surprising that in Syria, where it’s almost impossible to hide something, the photos of the Russian armored car hit the Web just now,” he notes.

According to Katkov, from the Russian-made wheeled armored vehicles in the Syrian army are “armored vehicles Vystrel”, “Tiger”, Lynx ”, armored personnel carriers BTR-80, BTR-82, as well as armored versions of the Ural and KamAZ trucks.

With weapons would be, still wonderful.

I want a class machine for a long time, just for our roads, again, suddenly, tomorrow is a war.

I do not recommend buying this for cross-country travel. I worked for such and I will tell you that this machine is very bad for everyone who sits inside. No depreciation. If the driver can still hold on to the steering wheel, then others shake godlessly. Better buy BRDM-ku. I am writing to you with all responsibility.

[lelikas]

Such ? (from there)

[vodolaz]

Well, it is necessary to arrange real tests, especially in different climatic zones.

The same as in New Russia. Our Moscow Region is actively getting rid of discontinued small-series machines on a special chassis (as part of unification).

The best tests of technology are combat conditions.

light combat conditions. since you still need to be able to tow the equipment back, to have access to the observation of hostilities in order to take into account the strengths and weaknesses.

What tests? This car has been in the Moscow Region for a long time. And according to the results of its operation in parts of the Ministry of Defense, partly shoved "Shots" far away, and partly - fused to neighboring departments.

[Forest]

The shot is already being disarmed. Pretty bad car turned out, well, albeit beautiful.

Something is already annoying such a variety of armored vehicles.

So "Shot" is a car of the early 2000s. They were then bought for lack of better. Now MO is actively fusing these BAs anywhere.

[ovod84]

While there is an opportunity it is necessary to test in combat conditions.

[iliya87]

In my opinion, everything was tested in Syria, well, except for nuclear weapons.

[zyablik.olga]

And this car strongly reminded me of an old armored car, which, if I remember correctly, is called the BTR-40. If you put them next, I probably would not have distinguished. I remember a neighbor who went to the military unit at the end of the 80's where they wrote off old armored cars and changed parts and wheels for his truck to alcohol.

Or maybe the American M3 ?
BTR-40 - the Soviet light armored personnel carrier of the 1950s, due to the specifics of its purpose according to the Western classification, is also sometimes referred to as an armored car. It was developed at the GAZ Design Bureau in 1947-1949 on the basis of the GAZ-63 all-wheel drive truck and became the first serial armored personnel carrier of the USSR. Being developed under the influence of the experience of using US armored personnel carriers delivered during the Second World War, primarily M3.

This is not the BTR-40, but the BA-40.

Even if this technique was not there, instructors should be protected, I'm talking about ours, that the Syrians are being trained.

Dear, this is a police armored car and only, and without weapons, the most common "trough" and it is correct that the Ministry of Defense did not adopt it, specifications and reviews are on this site

Do not forget that in addition to fighting, there is a need to deliver ammunition and grub, to transport the wounded. And for this, weapons are not always needed.

[kapitan92]

The main differences of the “Shot-M” armored car from the KAMAZ-43269 “Shot”:

1. Car:
- Engine Cummins 300 HP
- Transmission: manual 9S1310
- 43118 and 4350 serial drive axles
- Serial transfer box 65111
- KAMA-1260 425 / 85 R21 tires
- Protection class 6 according to GOST 50963-96

2. Armored Corps:
- new booking scheme
- explosion proof design:
- V-shaped bottom construction,
- protection of the engine pallet and transmission units
I would not call the modernized Shot a trough. In addition to the Ministry of Defense there is the FSB Border Troops, the Federal Penitentiary Service, the rear service, in one word, will not remain idle.
The car is positioned in the segment of armored vehicles with a total mass of up to 14 tons. I am sure that it will occupy its niche.
If my memory serves me, the topic of "Shot" was raised at VO.

[Pon69]

Better BTR-40

[kam4atka]

By the way, this "trough" was blown up by an anti-tank mine, the crew survived. the rear axle was torn off and the hull was torn under the bridge, as well as in the forehead 12,7 holds armor-piercing. But in general, the machine is good. But with loading it is inconvenient. Here.

[Romin]

And here we all open the search engine together and look at the photos and performance characteristics of the BTR-40, 60 and 152.
Everything is new, it is well forgotten old.
It seems to me alone that from that time on, our military thought took a wrong turn by transferring personnel to gas-66 and airborne KAMAZ trucks.
More than received for this in Afghanistan and internal conflicts.

[Koshak]

In the picture, people are standing on the bandwagon. Looks like ISIS.

It will be necessary and "Ash" will be accepted, but seriously, the FSO has territories for which they bear "personal responsibility" and in the affairs of the RKhBZ time is one of the most important factors, and the involvement of units of other power structures can be difficult, for various reasons, so that such units are needed. They will also carry out primary reconnaissance, but "specialized military units of other ministries and departments" can already deal with the consequences. Another thing is that more "invisible" machines, for the eyes of the average man, can be used as BS.

[tol]

Perhaps you are right, the FSO has a lot of different bases and objects, most likely they are used there, it's just unusual)

[serezhasoldatow]

Intelligence machines !!!

[Plato]

God forbid that it be used for intelligence. The car has a horseradish patency. Only on a good road to patrol, but to bring the right and take away the wounded and only on good roads.

[v.yegorov]

Running in.

[SG11]

there are more new types of Russian weapons in Syria now than in Russia, probably))

The more technology we try in the ATS, the better!
