Shock armored

The power and the professionalism of the army at the present stage of development of the Armed Forces of any country is determined by its technical equipment and mobility, which in turn allows combat units to solve their tasks, at any place and under any conditions.





However, the solution of various problems in their preparation provides the conditions for their implementation ...



Rising political tensions in the world, as well as the events of recent years, coupled with the increasing incidence of regional and local conflicts, which require the use of special light armored vehicles capable of combat operations in low visibility conditions at the front, flank, and often the rear fire damage shows that available in service of the CSTO (Collective Security Treaty Organization) technology, since the days of the former Soviet Union are not always able to solve the problem of modern conditions.



Armored Car "Tiger»



In this connection, the Russian Federation at the end of the last century to the present day, is an active development of modern automotive technology, which as the carrier platform can become the basis of military complex that could become a "shock" light armored vehicle, includes the most available means of fire damage .



So, one of the military factories Nizhnenovgorodskoy region launched industrial production of unique lightly armored car "Tiger". The specialists of "KAMAZ" least developed unique combat vehicle maintenance "shot" that can solve the whole spectrum assigned to it and combat missions as a "good car impact." Also noteworthy is the multi-purpose lightly armored vehicle "Vodnik", whose fate is unknown to me, but I hope the car will take its worthy place in the Russian army.



Fighting vehicle escort «Shot»

The above problem is not just the armed forces of the CIS countries. The army units around the world, along with the standard armored vehicles, reconnaissance units and special assault groups cutting edge equipped with so-called "shock cars" and "lightly armored special purpose vehicles" are of high maneuverability, low visibility and relatively low cost.



Armored Car & quot; Conductor & quot;

These vehicles are in addition to the main tasks carried out a number of additional, such as:
- "Seepage" through poorly protected areas in the enemy defenses to conduct raids in the rear;
- Terrorist attacks in the rear and security missions;
- The fight against the enemy intelligence, and many other tasks that is very difficult with heavy armored vehicles.

It should be noted that the leadership of the armed forces of foreign states, taking decisions on funding projects to create special car, paid particular attention to research and development in this direction.



Thus, according to the concept of further development of the Army Bundeswehr German company "Krauss - Mafey Wegmann" in the framework of the 'Car of Special Forces "has developed a lightly armored vehicle" Mungo ", the first batch of which in 2006 was put into service.



The company "Farmingtons automotive" based on commercial car "Volkswagen Touareg" has created an armored car "Fretthen." One of the fundamental factors in the creation of this car - it is the presence of more than 10 000 service centers in 170 countries. The German company "Daimler" and "Mercedes-Benz" developed armored average tonnage "Enok-2."



M1117 ASV «The Guardian»

The United States have developed and adopted a small special-purpose vehicles ALSV (4x4). The seriousness of the command armored vehicles of the US Army says the fact of conclusion of the contract between them and the company, "Textron", comprising the production of an additional batch of 78 armored fighting vehicles (AFV) M1117 ASV «The Guardian» (for the military police, intelligence and convoys) valued at more than 56 million. dollars.



Along with other BBM United States continues to increase the number of combat vehicles with enhanced mine protection RG-31 Nyala "Nyala", which amount to 44 units in 2008, delivered to the existing 442 machines, operated by the US Army. It should be noted that this vehicle is already in service, not only the US but also in Canada, the United Arab Emirates and other countries of the world.



Fvtomobil Special ACMAT VLRA

The French army is ready to adopt a special-purpose vehicles ACMAT VLRA (4x4).
UK-based car "Land Rover Defender" has developed a special shock car RDV.



Specials hammer car "Desert Raider»

Israel has also succeeded in this by creating a special hammer car "Desert Raider", as well as an armored car "Caracal" ("Desert Lynx"), based on the shortened chassis of the car "Ford - 350".

In Jordan, in early 2005, adopted by the special shock lightly armored car "Al-Talab" (4x4).
In Singapore, whose armed forces make up just over 72 thousand people, designed and put into service a special hammer car "Spidey" (4x4).

As seen from the above issues, this virus has captured the imagination of the top designers of virtually all countries of the world, and makes moving the thought scientist in this field, the most fitting means of fire damage to modern standards of warfare.

And we must pay tribute to the countries leading these types of R & D, whose leadership understands that the XXI century - a century of no large-scale and world wars, and a century of military conflicts at the regional level, where needed, not all nuclear missile power of the state, and the unique ability of advanced shock reconnaissance units to conduct special "surgical" military operations.
