Fighting anti-sabotage machine (BPDM) “Typhoon-M” developed 2007-2012 years in the interests of the Strategic Missile Forces on the basis of BTR-82. BPDM designed to protect missile complexes RVSN, reconnaissance in position areas in the Strategic Missile radar, optical and infrared wavelengths, and anti-sabotage and reconnaissance groups of the enemy.

With the machine equipment allows to monitor the surroundings and the timely identification of potentially dangerous objects. BPDM equipped with a set of all-weather vsesutochnyh funds, providing detection of forces and means of the enemy, The complex consists of radar and electro-optical system with a thermal channel. may use a light drone to monitor remote areas BPDM crew. UAV is equipped with surveillance systems and allows you to monitor the territory of a larger area and further away from the combat vehicle in comparison with the built-in equipment.

Currently, one of the main directions of development of the Russian armed forces is to upgrade weapons and equipment the Strategic Missile Forces. To maintain the required combat capability of this type of armed forces requires not only rocketry, but also various auxiliary machines. Currently, the Strategic Missile Forces units get new combat anti-sabotage machines (BPDM) "Typhoon-M", whose mission is to support mobile ground missile systems and their protection from possible attacks.
known, that the first version of the machine countersabotage 15TS56 "Typhoon" was designed with the end of the nineties. The aim of this project was to create a special armored combat vehicles, capable of protecting objects and technique SMF. NGOs engaged in the creation of the project "Arrow" (g. Tula), is now included in the Concern PVO "Almaz-Antey". The basis for the "Typhoon" of the machine was supposed to be an armored personnel carrier BTR-80. According to reports, project "Typhoon" has not led to any tangible results. Information about the mass production of such equipment is not.

The failure of the "Typhoon" Project, Nevertheless, no impact on the needs of the Missile Forces. There remains a need in the design and development of mass production of counter-sabotage machines. A second attempt to ensure that the Strategic Missile Forces with necessary equipment was made in the middle of the last decade. The development of a modernized machine 15TS56M "Typhoon-M" was launched at approximately 2007 year and lasted until 2012. The. In the same year, a prototype was built, which was released for testing.
AT 2013 , the first instance of anti-sabotage combat machine "Typhoon-M" was handed Serpuhovskoy branch of the Military Academy of the Strategic Missile Forces to them. Peter the Great. Experts of the organization had to learn a new car, and then start preparing the crews of such equipment. At the end of summer 2013 it was announced, the first serial "Typhoon-M" rocket troops will be transferred to the beginning of 2014. At the same time in Serpukhov conduct additional retraining and advanced training of commanders and intelligence guard units and teachers of educational institutions. These events took an active part experts project developer organization.
Later, there were reports about the beginning of mass production of new BPDM and transfer of such equipment to the troops. Nevertheless, accurate production has not yet been announced. According to the Defense Ministry, published in August 2013 of the year, the first production car "Typhoon-M" were supposed to go to serve in Teykovsky Missile Division RVSN. Starting date of their operation has been called the end of 2013 of the year. AT 2014 year, there were reports about the continuation of the serial construction of a new technology and its transfer to troops. Counter-sabotage operators cars become connected Strategic Missile Forces, in service which are mobile ground systems: Novosibirsk, Tagilskoye and Teykovsky.
To date, it was published sufficient information about BPDM "Typhoon-M", provides an overview. The new combat vehicle based on the chassis of armored personnel carriers BTR-82. This chassis has a higher performance compared to the prior BTR-80, as well as commercially available now. In this way, It reached a sufficiently high degree of commonality with other equipment of the armed forces, under construction and transferred the troops at the moment.
According to reports, in size and weight of the combat BPDM "Typhoon-M" is not very different from the basic armored. Its length is 7,58 m, width - 2,98 m, height - 2,44 m. Combat weight reaches 14,85 t. The machine is equipped with a turbocharged diesel engine KamAZ 740.13-300 power 300 HP. This power unit allows it to reach speeds on the highway to 80 km / h, and held until 700 km on one tank.
During the construction of anti-sabotage unit up on housing base armored mounted set of special equipment. Part of the apparatus mounted within the housing. Besides, installed on the roof of a special add-in with some equipment. At the site of the machine-gun turret mounted small combat unit with a machine gun caliber PKTM 7,62 mm. For greater ease of maintenance and reduced size combat unit is equipped with a remote control system from the workplace of one of the crew members.
On alert module has optronic observation system, suitable to monitor the situation as the day, as well as at night or in adverse weather conditions. With the help of a set of cameras firing module, the operator can observe the surroundings and to make visual detection of various objects. In the event of the enemy fighters it can open fire from a machine gun.
The main element of the set of equipment, installed on the roof of the combat vehicle, a lifting mast with an antenna radar. In the stowed position the antenna to the mast folded and lying on the roof of the shell. During combat work they rise and allow to monitor the surrounding area. BPDM "Typhoon" was supposed to equip the radar "Credo-1". As part of the "Typhoon-M 'machine equipment is also used radar, but its exact model is unknown. There is reason to believe, that in a complex all-weather vsesutochnyh means of observation and detection is also present opto-electronic devices.
There is information about the range of the complex surveillance and detection. With the help of electro-optical and radar stations, operators can pinpoint the armor at a distance of 6 km. Standing man found at distances of up to 3 km. For obvious reasons,, depending on various circumstances, actual detection range of various objects can be below.
To extend the range BPDM "Typhoon-M" is equipped UAV "Aileron-3CB". UAVs are equipped with opto-electronic means of observation and can be used to patrol the area. Each such unit is able to be in the air and to observe for two hours. Radius drone - 25 km. According to some reports, countersabotage on each machine has two aircraft and one set of auxiliary equipment.
The main task BPDM "Typhoon-M" is the protection ground missiles moving from possible sabotage on patrolling routes. Enemy sabotage groups, according to the military and the sponsors, may use different means of destruction, including remote-controlled explosive devices. To counter this threat Machine "Typhoon-M" is equipped with complex electronic warfare. This system is designed to suppress possible radio explosive device management.
According to reports, During the fighting, anti-sabotage operation of the machine "Typhoon-M" should accompany the mobile ground missile complex "Topol" family or "yars". The task of the crew is to monitor the surroundings and finding potentially dangerous objects. In case of detection of the crew can open fire with a machine gun or an existing call for backup. Used equipment can be monitored in any weather and at any time and to control the radius of the zone to 6 km or more (using drones). Besides, It provides equipment, You can prevent the use of enemy radio-controlled explosive devices.
According to recent reports, appeared before, combat anti-sabotage machines 15TS56M "Typhoon-M" are built in series and are adopted by the SMF connections, operating mobile ground systems. To date, such a technique acquired Teykovsky, Tagil and Novosibirsk Missile Division. The exact number of machines already delivered and military requirements, as well as the rate of production, not yet known. Nevertheless, and without such information it is clear, that the Strategic Missile Forces receive modern equipment, able to improve the safety of missile systems and to ensure that their combat mission.
