Lynx: Italian armored car of Russian production
Take a look at the next miracle of military equipment - armored "Lynx", which was released in Russia by Italian license. The legendary technique, which more than once proved its strength and fighting capacity, was presented at the last exhibition DSA in Malaysia. Take a look at the "Lynx" in the continuation of this post.
This is the famous armored vehicle IVECO LMV 65, which is produced in Russia by Italian license under the name "Lynx". It was shown at the exhibition DSA 2014 in Malaysia. Pay attention to the sticker on the windshield: there is the flag of the Russian Federation among the countries that have chosen this model.
P.S. In 2013, the Russian Defense Ministry said it would not renew the contract for the purchase of armored vehicles "Lynx» (LMV 65). Then-Chief of Land Forces, Colonel-General Vladimir Chirkin said: "The contract for the purchase of these vehicles further with Italy suspended».
As part of the initial contract has been received 1, 5 thousand cars, some of which came in the final performance, part - in the form of components. "Of course, we will find a use for them, they are generally good, but his fighting qualities inferior armored cars" Tiger "unequivocally" - said Chirkin. He noted that the cars "Iveco" for weapons with light type planned to buy much more, but their performance characteristics were worse than domestic cars of this type.
"We will use them, but most will not buy. We have a family of "Bear", "Tiger", "Wolf", carried out development work, which will allow a family of light-armored vehicles, which can be installed fighting module - said Chirkin. - In contrast, the "Iveco" can take over the entire 150 kilograms above to put kakuyu- the machine gun, and accommodate four people with their equipment. In this context, the prospects for "IVECO" no ", - said Chirkin, adding that the Ministry of Defence will continue to focus on domestic producers.
In the light of the West announced sanctions against Russia for joining the Crimea, the Russian Defense Ministry decision last year to abandon further purchases "Lynx" is absolutely the right thing. The only thing - and it is now to be with parts?
