FROM 25 by 30 of June in Moscow Kubinka must pass military-industrial forum "Army-2019". It Russian defense enterprises have to present the latest technological innovations. One such promising demonstration models must become all-terrain armored car "Tiger" second generation.
The first images of the new army armored car "Tiger Next» – it was under this name it appears in the press - first appeared in mid-June: then "Military Review" has made an overview of the machine, and what can we expect from it. The downside was that, that totally make out "Tiger" new generation was difficult - it was laying tarpaulin cloth, under which lies the vehicle contours.
New car (supposed, that its official name is "Tiger AMS-2"), as previous, designed military-industrial "GAZ Group".
The first generation of machines had different responses and turned out quite controversial. The first question concerned the reservation. originally stated, that "Tiger" will be able to pull 6A protection class according to GOST R 50963-96 or 3 level of STANAG 4569. It is also intended to strengthen mine protection to the Level 2A STANAG (6 kg explosives under the wheel, and 3 kg explosives underbody).
However, initially declared characteristics remained on paper. In reality, the most "Tiger" could withstand about 600 g of TNT under the wheel. it, if I may say TPK, in the treasury of the downsides. It is worth noting, what in 2011 LiveJournal k_a_r_d_e_n year user posted detailed photo and comments on the fighting qualities of the police version of the machine.
Build quality and ergonomics JMP-1 ("Tiger" version "Special Police cars") It did not differ high quality of workmanship. It noted, that "streamer" car is not pulled, despite the Cummins engine B205. It was also highlighted problems with booking, inconvenience footrests, brake system was not properly debugged. unknown, whether these remarks to the military version of the machine.
The new version should inherit the frame, bridges, 4,4-liter turbo-5347-10 on YaMZ 215 l / s with a full drive. Car Carrying capacity should increase to 1,6 tonnes (earlier it was equal 1200 kg). "Gas" going to establish an assembly of hydromechanical six-speed automatic transmissions GAZ-1K0808 (It was first introduced in 2017 year): it should Samain 5-speed manual and 5-speed automatic gearbox Allison 1000. It is worth noting, it is not in-house development of GAZ: its six months by order of the Russian company has established firm Zoerkler Gears (Austria).
For photo and video, appeared in the network, it is seen, that "GAZ Group" is preparing to submit 3- and 5-door version of the machine. also significantly, that the body has acquired V-shaped, helps to dissipate the blast, change the overall appearance of the grille (which acquired a trapezoidal shape) and hood (on it there was a noticeable handle). Exhaust pipe brought to the level of the roof - obviously, to facilitate the crossing water obstacles. It in the treasury of the pros.
In appearance wheelbase mean you can judge whether the automatic air pressure control system Tire. The ergonomics of the car looks much more elaborate than the first version, at the door pristupki obviously more convenient to climb. apparently, job creators and manageability - Video, published a few days ago, it is seen, that heavy machine comes in a sharp turn, though not without effort, but neatly and clearly.
Some observers pay attention to seemingly small ground clearance. At the same time he is often on such machines adjustable, and evaluate it fully available for photo and video is not possible.
Data about mine protection of the new machine are conflicting. Likely, Exact figures will be presented tomorrow, on the presentation of the car at the forum "Army-2019".
Any questions and the implementation of improved ergonomics.
According to preliminary data of the machine booking levels can vary according to customer's request.
celebrated, that from 2017, all experimental research and development work on the car financed by the Ministry of Defense of Russian Federation.
