Water cooling Bashny.Net

It would be good if cars, which will be discussed, were not there! But, alas, they are - even in the most democratic countries. Because uncontrolled crowd, whether demonstrators or football fans, can do considerable harm. And if the situation gets out of control, it is necessary to extinguish. In the truest sense of the word - with the help of powerful water jets.


At the end of last year in the media it was reported that the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs received three new jet Avalanche-hurricane for the crackdown. Here it is, Lavina-Uragan, our picture shows barred window on the roof of the barrel with two spotlights and cameras, to the "nose" - two of the trunk and a knife-blade hydraulically. Horror, one slovom.Gazety began to speak maliciously about the "violent heads cool", but we were interested in something else: what is this car? How does it work? What is different from peers? And get acquainted with novelties in the help of experts and NGOs Special link the Interior Ministry, we decided to tell you about other such structures, which are the world's full of them. Only a few people know them, because they are hidden behind seven seals - at police and police garages ...

Instead of foreword

I beg you: never go to rallies, demonstrations, and any crowded gatherings. Whatever their purpose. The fact is that 20 years ago, while serving in the interior troops, I was taught to "eliminate riot" - or more simply, to disperse a demonstration ...
The first of the square, where a crowd stormed, crawled out of the BTR-80 - without a gun, but with a siren. His crew was ordered: "Do not stop under any circumstances. Even if they throw under the wheels! "Next came two fire Urals with barred windows: they are simultaneously turned to the right and to the left - and the crowd began to pour streams of water from fire monitors in the cabs.

Taken aback demonstrators rushed in all directions - and then broke into a run, we formed: for four in a row, with lowered visor helmets stranglehold holding each other by the elbows, under cover from the hail of stones plastic shields with the beautiful name "Stained glass product." In the center - riot police, on the edges - the soldiers. Riot policemen were scattered and began to tag back demonstrators chalk crosses, and we drew batons ... Fortunately, while it was only the doctrine: the role of the demonstrators were playing fellow police officers (but shouting and throwing stones they really!), And the "street" and "Square "were marked with flags in the quarry, hidden from prying eyes.

And still - scared, boys. Even if you look at the situation through the plastic zabralo.Ili sitting in the cab of the truck with a water cannon on the roof.
ALL BEGAN IN GERMANY

The existence of police water cannons Soviet citizens learned from the newspapers, where there were pictures of people running from the water jets. The headlines read: "The massacre of the participants virnoy demonstration", "If you want peace - receive a baton", "water cannon against demonstrators».










The first water cannon appeared in Berlin in 1931: it was built on a five-ton truck chassis Mercedes. Please note: the bus is not air, and the cast, pulezaschischennye
People read and shook his head: ah, what a nightmare going on in the capitalist countries! And, in general, it is far from the truth ... water cannons homeland was Germany: in 1931, when the unemployed rioted in the streets, at the Berlin police has its first such car. It was built on the basis of Mercedes truck and watering is a hybrid car and an armored car. Located behind the water tank, the cabin was covered with steel sheets, and above it rose a rotating turret with a hose: Turn on the pump - and dissatisfied washed away! Then Hitler came to power, riots subsided. But it was after the war, divided Germany into East and West as water cannons have been used again. However, their design has been refined: pump is driven by an autonomous engine (not to take away the power from the main "quenching" -That is made on the fly!), Instead of one turret began to put two jets appeared and speakers on the sides, where the same beat water.

In post-war Germany as water cannons were built (and at various chassis: Magirus, Mersedes, MAN, Bussing, Ford), that in times of calm authority, even the police have committed to carry drinking water and water the streets! And later many cars written off from the police, were repainted in red and for a long time served by the fire. And what's the difference that watered - demonstration or burning houses?

"ARMORED TURTLES»

Police progress reached its peak in the 70-80, when the light appeared "armored turtle." The first such machines were built to West Berlin: base is mersedesovsky chassis, rear positioned tank 4, 5 tons of water (which is not really a lot by today's standards), and instead of the cab was bronekorobka of 7-millimeter steel with slits instead of windows . This monster could accelerate right up to 85 km / h, but was spending 50 liters of diesel per 100 kilometers, but still strives to roll when cornering.

Later, looking at the Germans, began to order such vehicles and other very distant from European countries - Chile, for example, or Algeria. A real pro in "vodometostroeniya" was the Austrian fire company Rosenbauer: it offered just seven different models - from the Unimog with 3, 5-cubic tank to retrieved the breastplate of monsters, which even near impossible to find Mercedes.



Masterpiece police thought the end of the eighties - an armored 10000 Rosenbauer RWD chassis Mercedes

In the meantime, technological progress is not standing still: if at first "gunners" leads trunks manually, you have stood on Rozenbauer remote control - using the buttons and joysticks. In addition to the water tanks were tanks with a foaming agent (extinguish combustible mixture using nozzles under the chassis), dye and irrigant (or more simply, tear gas).

Both are added to the water for effect, and the gas can also be sprayed from nozzles on the sides!

In the socialist countries

The first "socialist water cannon" appeared again in Berlin - only this time the East and the post-war. The then government had feared the mass of shoots on the west side, in a hurry to set up water cannon (and covered with metal sheets - though not from bronestali) based on the bonnet of the truck IFA G5. Local people call it a maliciously armored Arbeiterwaschmaschinen - something like "golovomoek for workers».

... Rosenbauer has built on the same chassis Mercedes «bronecherepah" for the "dictatorial regimes" In the fifties, the Germans gave a couple of water cannons Poland: learn, they say, the population need to be daunting! And because the Polish brothers already loved pomitingovat, in 1973 there was set up own design Hydromil - from words hydro, «water» and milicia, «the police." Initially, "hidromili" built on truck chassis Star (with two such instances as "reciprocal gift" were sent to the German Democratic Republic).

Then the Poles in Austria bought a water cannon on the chassis Steyr, who got the nickname "horror fashion police." And in looking at them, local designers have created a model Hydromil 2 - tank with 8,000 liters of water and on the chassis Jelch.

In the nineties, when it started the collapse of socialism, such "hidromili" does watered Polish demonstrators, but they went no better in Berlin "turtles." Try and two-axle truck chassis clap barrel of water, pumps, body kits armor design, and even make her go!

By Typhoon - an avalanche

In Soviet times, when the revolt have nobody even thought, the police "in extreme cases" attracted fire. For example, in the wording of the picture there in 1968 with the signature of "Police and troops dispersed the festivities of the Crimean Tatars," where Uncle policeman crowd pours out of the sleeve, going to the Fire tanker based on an ancient MAZ-205.



& lt;
Moscow putsch 1993 .: "putschists" gives the driver a fire jet handkerchief, that he wiped the blood from his face, cut by broken glass, but when the country faced serious unrest, it became clear that no fire ZIL and Ural even barred, will not help. Even the "pozharki" were ill-suited to the needs of the police - not least because they can not engage in battle with the move.

It was necessary to urgently buy from Poles party "hidromiley" (mentioned 20 vendors bought copies, but probably wishful thinking). It soon became clear that "hidromili" peretyazheleny and clumsy, and pump it too weak - it is driven by an autonomous four-cylinder engine and gave out a total of 26 liters of water per second.



In the mid-nineties Park riot police with water cannons added Avalanche chassis BAZ Therefore, it was decided to start the development of their own design. The first water cannon, which began to build in the then Institute of Ministry of Internal Affairs Special machinery, called the Typhoon-K and based on the chassis of MAZ Uragan missile. I found the car: in the mid-nineties, she lived out her
Century on campus, in a ravine near the metro station "Botanical Garden» ...



Avalanche-M of 1994 differed blade and plenty of additional weapons



Avalanche in action - at the exercises before the celebration of the 300th anniversary of St. Petersburg (photo paper "Defender of Motherland»)

But then Belarus became independent, and entered a new order: to find a similar Russian-made chassis. As a result, the basis was taken Bryansk BAZ (another missile, by the way) and its chassis set up water cannon Avalanche.

Lavinia stood just three (!) Engine: two KAMAZ set in motion the wheels, another, Zilovskoye - pump unit. Cab welded from bronestali, protects the crew from a Kalashnikov (which did not provide any single foreign equivalent), and most importantly - the Avalanche looked menacing and has excellent maneuverability. They say that when Boris Yeltsin showed Avalanche compared to "hidromilem" the shamefully stalled at an army training ground. And Avalanche pulled "Pole" of the mud - and is ready for battle! In total, according to our data, Dmitrov plant MIA (located exactly near avtopoligone fence to fence) built around three dozen Lavigne - mainly in the "short" chassis with a tank on 8000 liters of water, although there were "long" items with tank 10000 liters.

Special mention deserves the Avalanche-M, packed with weapons so that resembled
mobile fortress from the movie "Universal Soldier" .Before bumper blade was on the roof - two triple-grenade (they shot, of course, not grenades, and light and sound and tear gas Prunus), on the sides - three of the shooting weapons (besides gas or rubber bullets). The "feed" have built plants for dymzavesy (!), And on the perimeter ejected "gas protection", enveloping the car in a radius of 2, 5 m. Yes, Murom Radio Plant (his spetssignalami equipped government ZIL) has provided hands-free unit MSP-500 capacity already 500 watts. Such ka-ak will bark!



Water jet Belarusian



In Minsk, the rule of law protects the monster, a converted airfield fire MAZ. Fortunately, neither this monster, no ordinary Avalanche never "engage in." To cool the ardor of protesters, it was enough to crawl out of the square frowning ...

AVALANCHE-HURRICANE

The past years have taken their toll: Avalanches, standing in the police garage, had deteriorated. We
data on the move today is no more than six copies!




VCR reinforced the ceiling



"I can see everything from above" - ​​through a mini-camera. Since lavinovskoe chassis was not only unusual, but also oversized (its width - more than three meters), a former Interior Ministry NIISTU, now renamed the Special NGO and communications, has created an entirely new model - a more compact and maintainability



"Gunners" backseat controlled trunks, each with their console video screen with



Unlike most of the fire trucks, the pump is run without getting out of the cab



Under the bumper - two additional trunk



"Guns," spotlights, video camera, 500-watt speakers ... Do not stand in the way!

Novelty is based on the "crane" Ural-532 365 - with a 300-horsepower engine YMZ-7601 and cabin rendered forward. As a result, the length of the machine was almost the same as the "short" Avalanche (9, 9 meters), but it is already quite standard width - 2, 5 m.



Avalanche-Hurricane built on a heavy "crane" landing gear Ural. Facilities at this time engaged Vargashinsky plant - the same building where the fire trucks. In Vargas put the tank on the chassis of the volume of 9000 liters tanks for the dye,
foaming agent and tear gas, fire pump mounted SPC-60 / 100s operated by autonomous YaMZ-236, put four barrel - and not manually, but with "push-button" operated. And book a cabin for protection class 2a - from a hunting rifle



If you look into the compartments on the sides ...



... Seen the water pump ...



... Tanks with the "special means" and a stand-alone diesel
But it is necessary to look at the car carefully as soon as detected Design puncture. Usually water cannons so close handles and steps to the rebels could not climb here. Here input is not just open, but also equipped with a convenient platform! And the second thing that catches your eye - a depressing quality. Outside, through the paint sometimes emerges rust; Exterior cladding is made very rough, and the interior cabin downright miserable. Numerous blocks and boards piled on top of each other, fleecy interior lags behind ...



Two serial Avalanche-Hurricane. Loudspeakers on the roof have become smaller, but came back the door of the cabin. The fact that the machine has a multi-channel video cameras around the perimeter - that's good. But the "VCR" and a screen mounted on the ceiling handicraft - and, if you inadvertently open the latch folding screens, he and all the fluff hit on the head! And what a plank lying on the floor of the cabin? It turns out that a piece of skin fell off the VCR ...



Behind the rear door - "the weapon of the proletariat." In any case



Quality trim depressing



Above the wheel - extinguishing nozzle



On the roof - launcher for shooting Sounder ammunition and tear gas grenades



The "feed" machines have equipment for water intake



"Factory workers in a hurry with the construction of a prototype - sigh experts. - That's the result. " Yeah. Maybe serial items (and their delivery has already started) done carefully?

SWAT ON-Israeli

There our riot police and other water cannon - Israeli production company Beit Alfa Technologies, based truck Mercedes Axor Turkish origin. Interestingly, the first Israelis sold us not very nice piece - unarmored and rear wheel drive chassis. But then it was delivered seven water cannons, modified by the requirements of the Ministry of Interior - armored, four-wheel drive and mirrors, pick up the bars.



Israeli riot police water cannons to the left - experienced, 4x2 chassis, to the right - the serial, and four-wheel drive armored. The Israeli model is very different from the avalanche! First of all, it looks as computer scientists say, users friendly, «friendly to the user" (which in this case is rather negative: the demonstrators it hardly frightened). Only two guns and tank is less than a third.
But the upper trunk rotates 360 degrees and thanks to the compact chassis water cannon was very maneuverable. The crew is not an example of comfortable, management of "special equipment" is much easier ... And the quality of performance is very different from a domestic.


Front Office "gun" the light and the blade



All inscriptions - in Russian. Even the display



"Vidic" very compact



Interior familiar - not counting the bars on the windows



"Kids" - in a cage! Note the closed door handle and footrest

However, the price significantly higher if the Avalanche-Hurricane worth 9 million rubles (about $ 350,000), the water-jet Axor - to 11 million (about $ 420,000)
