Armored vehicle "Tayfunenok" will not get into the army because of the sanctions

Biaxial armored KAMAZ-53949 nicknamed "Tayfunenok" will not be accepted for service in the Russian army due to the impact of sanctions.

The machine was originally created for the Department of defense, but now it will be offered in the framework of the project "Patrol " And" for the Ministry of Internal Affairs - and it is reviewed by the commander in chief of the MIA Viktor Zolotov.

The reason for the refusal of the military in the possible purchase of a new armored KAMAZ 4x4 is the presence of a large number of foreign components. Typhoons, assembled from imported components and in case of its delivery to the Ministry of defence of the Russian Federation foreign partners simply did not give components.

Engine "Tayfunenok" here is American brand Cummins. gear-box - too American, Allison, bridges with independent suspension - Timoney from Ireland that the naked eye can be seen on the label on the hub caps. Supplier of armor (outside of the aluminum under it ceramic - Plasan Sasa from Israel, belts, "mine" seats - the emblem of the English company Securon, tires - Michelin, headlights - Hella.

KAMAZ-53949 used a fairly large number of foreign components, which puts an end to a possible career in the military, but leaves the possibility of arming the Police.

According to the developers KAMAZ-53949 "Tayfunenok" can be used to protect and support columns, medical transportation, maintenance engineering and radiological, chemical and biological intelligence. In addition, it can be used as a reconnaissance and command-and-staff machine, fire support."

I wonder why IA is not interested in converting old t-55 and t-72 into IFV. Ukraine could be a big help.
Military staff is always behind the military are in the fields. The BTR-3 and 4 have also not wanted in the beginning to buy, but the war showed that they are very effective. Now going is a massive purchase and installation of the combat modules on older APC. Designers warned that you need a IFV with tank armor, but the generals understood it only in the course of the war. This is the IFV test in combat. This is not the final version. After testing, the IFV will be sent for revision. Only then it will be adopted for and put into mass production.

Ukrainian motorist, volunteer and ukropatriot Alex Mochanov, has posted on his page on www.facebook.com an interesting overview of the identified shortcomings in the operation of armored Streit Spartan, used by Ukrainian law enforcement agencies as "KrAZ - Spartan".

1. Chassis can not withstand the car, and it breaks the brackets shock-roll (5 cars out of 15).

2. leaking oil shock absorbers (at all).

3. To enable the front axle, the driver must get out of the car and turn it on (at all).

4. It is not the place for a spare wheel (at all).

5. To charge the vehicle's fuel that meet the specifications for a new generation engine - as a result 60% of the cars lights switch engine trouble.

6. Unable to independent car maintenance, it can be done only at specialized stations, as required computer diagnostics and special tools.

7. When driving on rough terrain or driving over potholes in the steering column there is a strong blow (at all).

8. Winch car can not withstand loads using crashes (car 1 of 15).

9. Armor car in front is weak, that at the first hit of a bullet or shell fragments displays vehicle crashes (at all).

10. Bulletproof glass can not withstand the second shot.

11. Guards are not on all windows (1 car out of 15).

12. During a machine gun shells fall under the hood of the car, which can damage the engine (at all).

13. At the time of shooting on the move can not be hitting the target due to the shaking of the car (as an option, you must mount the gear type for greater stability gun) (all).

14. To replace the box of ammunition to the gun arrow must pop out from behind cover, which increases the likelihood of injury (at all).

15. Weak protection gunner, protective walls need to be strengthened (at all).

16. There is no standard radio (at all).

17. Electronic counter speedometer shows "km / h", but believes mileage in miles of land (at all).

Cars with so much shortcomings and defects can not be accepted for service APU. Under no circumstances, except compulsory elimination of faults and re-picky testing. Under the same conditions in the same composition. Perhaps - and in parallel parts.

The guys on the front line should not become a test on the basis of similarity and dummies for crash tests. KrAZ in his repertoire ...

It is a children's disease of all new models. The main thing that has eliminated.
Not only. Also because joint US-Emirates Streit Group company is a manufacturer of protected commercial vehicles and has absolutely no experience in the development of a full-fledged military armored vehicles.

KrAZ Spartan temporary solution until you establish serial production of Dozor-B.
