Wheels for army: Typhoon maintains tank attack Futuristic appearance, wheel formula 6 on 6, a ceramic armored protection, immunity to blastings demolition warheads do family of the Russian armored cars of Tayfun family by one of the most unique novelties of the Russian army in 2014. The first party from 30 superprotected trucks came to troops for trial operation. Family of Typhoon cars it, as the fighter of the 5th generation of T-50, the last word in automotive vehicles. Cars with wheel formulas 6x6 and 4x4 are intended for transportation of infantry and can be equipped with guns with remote control. They belong to the class MRAP (Mine Resistant Ambush Protected) - the armored cars protected not only from small arms, but also blasting various explosive devices. It is such unique class of armored cars which balance between the armored personnel carrier and armor trucks. The family of Typhoon cars originates in the nineties the last century. Then this work was called Garage. Its sense was to create the uniform, unified automobile platform, - the former chief of the Head autoarmoured department Sergey Mayev reported to the STAR TV channel. On Typhoons the combined armor with use of ceramic plates is used, their booking corresponds to the level III of the standard of NATO. For domestic equipment it also has no analogs. Whether the joke - the car has to maintain without damages and death of staff, explosion of 8 kilograms of explosive under a wheel and under the bottom. New armored cars are issued on the basis of KAMAZ-63968 and Urals-63095 chassis, have a hydropneumatic, independent suspension bracket, a box machine gun. Typhoon weighs about 25 tons, is equipped with the 450 hp domestic engine. This engine got the award Innovation — Technological Break in 2010. And most important, it completely domestic. Besides, cars are completed with automatic transmission and bulletproof tires with autopumping. In the car the onboard management information system (OMIS) of GALS-D1M for supervision and regulation of operation of the engine, calculation of a list of the car, an inclination of the road, speed of the movement, location is installed. In a cabin - liquid crystal screens which not only give technical information on a condition of the car, but also broadcast from external cameras a situation behind a board. That is even at full loss of visual visibility the driver will be able to conduct Typhoon across the field of fight literally on devices. Directly not the truck, but fighter of the fifth generation of T-50. On frame and panel cabins by means of bolts bronepanel fasten. A special glazing which can sustain a direct hit of an armor-piercing and incendiary bullet from a tank machine gun of large caliber from distance of 200 m. Security of crew - the main know-how of modern Russian military vehicles. In an armor shelter on boards there are special antimine chairs for staff. The design of a chair is made so that if the car will run into a land mine, the serviceman who is in it shouldnt suffer from a blast wave. All chairs have the ergonomic basis which is completely repeating contours of a back of the person, the passenger is fixed in them by belts, as if in a racing race car. Plus all chairs of fighting office are attached by special arches to a car ceiling. Thanks to it the resistance to blastings which is very impressing for modern cars on mines is reached. According to experts, the family of Typhoon cars is capable to move on a cross-country terrain with a speed up to 80 km. in an hour. The car can overcome the ford of 1,80 meters in depth. Thus the driver up to shoulders will be in water. Typhoon is the whole family of versatile cars of KAMAZ and Ural plant. For example, on the basis of this platform the Kamsky automobile works developed an armored car Shot and the even landed option of the truck which has to succeed legendary and still irreplaceable GAZ-66. At each ruler complete interchangeability of details and mechanisms that facilitates repair in field conditions. Firms offer platforms under installation of systems of arms. This year Typhoons from KamAZ passed on parade on May 9 on Red Square. Their competitors of Ural plant the Ministry of Internal Affairs buys. But the main competition goes today to areas of heavy platforms on which it is possible to place missile and artillery systems. Same KAMAZ has option of the 4-axis tractor on the Typhoon base - Tornado. On its basis the self-propelled gun Armour surface-to-air missile system which fighting module weighs 24 tons is created. For troops the newest jet system of volley Tornado-G fire is created. The wheel formula and characteristic beskapotny design do Typhoon by the first candidate for such dimensional functional modules, as option with Pantsir-S, option about RSZO, option with artillery arms up to 152-mm self-propelled installation. But these options of configuration of cars still ahead. So far the army buys бронегрузовик for transportation of staff. Only in 2015 the Ministry of Defence will buy not less than 150 thousand brand new cars
