Typhoon - K | Armored vechicles

“Typhoon” - is a family of enhanced security armored vehicles developed by cooperation from more than 120 enterprises, including the Ural Automobile Plant, KamAZ, Yaroslavl Motor Plant, Steel Research Institute (car armor), Federal Nuclear Center in Sarov (calculation of security of the armored corps), “Magistral” (bulletproof glass), MSTU. Bauman (hydropneumatic suspension). For the first time were demonstrated in 2011 at the site, May 9, 2014 - at a military parade in Moscow (Typhoon-K) and the parade on May 9, 2015 (Typhoon-K, Typhoon-U). It is planned to adopt in 2015. In December 2014, the first batch (30 vehicles) arrived in trial for trial operation, in the spring of 2015 - the second batch.

Purpose

The family of armored vehicles is designed to transport personnel, as well as to install various target equipment or weapon systems. At its base, you can create communication vehicles, mobile artillery systems, truck cranes, transport-launch vehicles of unmanned aerial vehicles, tow trucks, excavators and other modifications. The family will serve as a single unified platform for the "light" brigades of the Ground Forces.

Construction

All vehicles of the family are unified for engines (YMZ-536), information and control system, mine protection and suspension. On all vehicles for the transportation of personnel it is possible to install a remote-controlled machine-gun module. Combined armor (ceramics and steel), as well as bulletproof glass, provide circular protection according to the fourth level of the standard STANAG 4569 (14.5 mm armor-piercing bullets B-32). Anti-mine machine protection is provided by a V-shaped bottom, absorbing the explosion energy of the seats and corresponds to level 3b in accordance with STANAG 4569 (an explosive device of up to 8 kg in TNT equivalent). In the roofs of cars there are hatches for emergency evacuation of personnel in case of overturning. A video camera is installed around the perimeter of the armored vehicles, which makes it possible to monitor the situation without leaving the transport module, as well as to control the armored vehicle if the windshield cannot be used. The habitable space on all the machines is hermetically sealed, with artificially maintained overpressure, filtration of the incoming air is provided by the installation of the FVU-100. All machines of the family can be made in two-axle or three-axle versions.
