Exclusive models of new armored vehicles "Toros" and "Clown"
Not so long ago, "Intrall" held a contest for the best design of new military equipment. From 6 to 11 May in Moscow held an exhibition of entries. However, the "highlight" of the program were not the original and exclusive models of armored vehicles "Toros" and "Clown", whose development is in full swing. We look at the unique and new models of Russian military equipment in the continuation of the post!
Since the first demonstration of new armored vehicles took place in the framework of the exhibition of works submitted for the competition of designers, not to mention their interesting appearance. The authors of the project had to work hard on the design of the armored corps. According to reports, they are based on the requirements simplify the design while maintaining its high performance. This is due to the characteristic shape body formed conjugate straight armored panels. It should be noted that the armored "Toros" and "Cleaver" received an interesting and recognizable appearance. As for the actual performance of these buildings, then talk about them, it is too early.
Armored Car "Toros" is designed for the transport of weapons and fighters with the necessary goods. Machine design involves the use of several variants of the body, depending on the customer's wishes. In addition to the base case for the transport of fighters customer can get an ambulance or an armored car with a cargo platform at the rear of the housing. Perhaps the construction of passenger and cargo version with a shorter cabin and reduced cargo space. From the entire spectrum of possible modifications at a recent exhibition featured only three: the base, a commander and sanitary.
The total mass of the base four-wheel armored car modifications "Toros" can reach 6, 8 tons. With such a weight machine has a length of 5, 1 meters, a width of about 2, 5 m and a height of 2 to 36 m. The armored car equipped with a diesel engine with a turbocharged 136 hp that meet the requirements of Euro-4 standard. Engine coupled with a five-speed manual transmission. Wheels armored cars have an independent torsion bar suspension. One of the authors of the project, the designer Alexander Kuzmin, told ITAR-TASS that for high performance running gear of the machine uses some units borrowed from Russian armored personnel carriers.
Using these units, an armored car capable of highway speeds up to 85 km / h. Estimated range under these conditions up to 1000 km. The machine is able to overcome water obstacles swimming. The movement is carried out by the rotation of the wheels.
Prospective armored "Toros" can be protected in accordance with the level 3 standard STANAG 4569. This means that the frontal armor thickness of 14 mm and a board thickness of 12 mm ensure protection of the crew and units of armor-piercing bullets cartridge 7, 62h51 mm. In addition, the armor can hold pieces of 155-mm artillery shell in an explosion at a distance of 80 meters. Mine protection carried out by the machine level 2 NATO standards and can withstand the undermining of 6 kg TNT under the wheel. It is noted that at the maximum-security armored car loses its ability to swim.
Armored car "Toros" is sufficiently dense layout of the passenger cabin. In the basic version, intended for the carriage of soldiers with weapons, he has ten seats. Two rows of three seats arranged in the front and middle parts of the cabin (including the driver), and four seats are in the back. Thus, the new armored vehicle can carry a detachment of nine soldiers, not counting the driver. For boarding and alighting on each side of the machine there are two doors that open in opposite directions. To access the rear seats provides four door in the aft hull plates.
Armored "Cleaver" is large compared to the "Toros" and related characteristics. As the second armored car company "Intrall", "Cleaver" is designed for the transport functions. From the available information it shows that on the basis of an armored car can be created by the machine to transport personnel or armored heavy trucks. According to calculations of the authors of the project, with its own curb weight up to 9 tons of "Cleaver" can carry up to 4 tons of cargo. One of the most interesting features of the project was shown at the recent exhibition, one of the prototypes had a six-wheeled chassis, the other - four-wheel.
The plant "AMOUR" for several years been building trucks ZIL-131, and the production of chassis for special equipment on the basis of this machine is still ongoing. That's chassis has been chosen as the basis for the armored car "Cleaver." After some modifications the basic chassis can be used for the construction of armored vehicles.
Armored "Cleaver" both options proposed to equip a diesel engine with turbocharger and intercooler, complying with Euro-4. Engine power - 136 hp The engine is linked to a five-speed manual transmission. Chassis armored car, which is a further development of the units of the truck ZIL-131, equipped with a dependent suspension based on longitudinal leaf springs with telescopic shock absorbers. Leading are the rear (posterior) axis. If necessary, you can connect the front axle.
As the armored "Toros" and "Cleaver" developed in parallel, it is proposed to equip the same armor protection. Declared level of protection of an armored truck "Cleaver" appropriate level of protection "Toros". The machine can be protected from the 7, 62-mm armor-piercing rifle bullets and splinters 155-mm shells at a distance of 80 meters. In addition, the stated anti-mine protection from weapons of charge up to 6 kg of TNT.
As the submissions armored "Cleaver" can be equipped with one of two types of hulls. The first of them is invited to perform as two separate units: one placed the engine and the driver's cab, the second - landing or cargo. The second option involves the use of single hulls. Regardless of the architecture of the body armored "Cleaver" is capable of carrying up to 16 people with weapons. Two seats are located next to the driver, the other - in bulk troop compartment. For planting in the car, there are two doors in the sides of the driver's cabin and a large door at the rear of the hull.
The exhibition at the Russian Museum of Decorative, Applied and Folk Art were shown five cars, prototypes: three options "Toros" (basic, sanitary and commander) and two versions of "Cleaver" (Six-wheeled with the troop compartment and four without). All five machines are simplified prototypes. They used the power plant components and chassis, which are planned to be installed on a production technique. Simultaneously, the machines are equipped with steel hulls nebronevoy. Five machines are designed to test some technical solutions, as well as to showcase the project to potential buyers.
According to media reports, project work armored "Toros" and "Cleaver" started about a year ago. During this time, employees' Intrall "developed technical project and the plant" AMOUR "built several prototype cars. Already the first tests conducted at the site in Nizhny Tagil. It is alleged that some projects are interested in foreign customers. Who exactly - not yet reported. It is noted that as the main customer are considered the Russian armed forces. Russian Defense Ministry, in turn, has yet to respond to the new projects.
