The car "The Wolf". Armored car for the Russian army. Civic version

The development of military vehicles is a responsible matter, and at the same time it requires the most accurate calculations. In order to create something similar, whole design bureaus are used. After all, the army should be the most reliable and safe car, which will not fail at the most crucial moment. Something similar was created. Car "Wolf" - the latest development of military engineers. After successful tests at the test site, located near Nizhny Novgorod, the Defense Ministry decided to use this technique for service in the army.

Production

Sufficiently promising family of modular vehicles "Wolf" has a load capacity of 1.5 to 2.5 tons. The armored car "Wolf" is intended for carrying out multifaceted operations, which are connected with the solution of counter-terrorist tasks. New machines are designed taking into account all modern trends regarding security, as well as the universality of use. Before the designers was tasked to create the most unified machine. The family "Volkov" was designed on the basis of the so-called modular type. Thanks to this armored car "Wolf" can be used not only in military, but also for civil purposes.

Modifications

The modular design of the machine allows the creation of three different groups: armored vehicles, unarmored, as well as a fairly promising direction of commercial copies. Currently, the trial phase of armored versions is completed. The civil car "Wolf" is still at the stage of development, testing and various tests.

The main group of this family includes:

• The base machine VPK-3927, which has a secure managed module, as well as a separate rear module, equipped with additional functionality;
• VPK-39271 with one-volume functional module, as well as with additional protective equipment installed;
• VPK-39372 is a transport vehicle used for delivery of goods, as well as transportation of personnel; It is worth noting that this military vehicle "Wolf" has the ability to install additional elements and modules;
• VPK-39273 is a vehicle that differs from all of its counterparts by the wheel formula; This SUV is 6 to 6 with an additional module installed to carry out the control.

Development

The Russian car "Wolf", according to its developers, has unique technical capabilities. A high level of specific power, as well as increased permeability, predetermine the need for the development of a so-called commercial SUV, which is tested for civilian purposes. It is planned to create an option for sale (both on the domestic and foreign markets) to carry out certain tasks in a variety of industries.

Platform

The car "Wolf" boasts a unified platform that allows you to significantly expand the scope of this model range. Depending on the task, additional equipment and various specialized units can be installed. Such a solution significantly reduced the cost of creating and preparing production. In addition, such a step stimulates the optimization of modern basic machines.

At the moment, there is a development and unification of a special platform, a civil version, as well as a separate truck. Soon anyone can buy a personal car Wolf. The price of such a purchase may vary depending on the equipment, as well as the availability of additional equipment, the average figure is about 8 million rubles.

Implementation of new solutions

On all vehicles belonging to the family "Wolf", completely new design models are used. A unified platform was created, supplemented by an independent suspension with the ability to adjust the stiffness. Particular attention was paid to the degree of protection of the cabin, the engine compartment. In order to force such a heavy car "Wolf" to move, a new YaMZ-5347 engine running on diesel fuel was used. Such a solution allowed to obtain more power, while reducing the level of fuel consumption. In sum, all decisions have endowed the family with a number of excellent qualities, among which:

• Passability;
• High resource;
• unification;
• maneuverability.

Protection

When creating protection for the car "Wolf" as the basis was taken the concept of mine and ballistic protection of personnel, as well as the machine as a whole. To improve the versatility of the SUV, a frame-panel construction was used, which is capable of providing a quick installation and dismantling without the involvement of individual specialists and the use of a specialized tool. It is worth noting that the area of the protected elements is more than 85%. The level of ballistic protection corresponds to level 6a, according to the normative document GOST-50963, if necessary, this parameter can be increased.

Min protection is achieved by installing additional elements of the bottom reservation. To increase this parameter, a number of innovative solutions were used, among which the installation of specialized seats, as well as the presence of a double floor construction.

Power unit

On all vehicles of the "Wolf" type, a promising YaMZ-5347 engine is installed, which complies with Euro-4 standards. The peculiarity of this engine is that it has a so-called modernized power reserve. This ensures that the high value of the power parameter remains at the time of increasing mass. The increase in weight is possible in the event of a change in the requirements for the protection of the integrity of the body. With a motor power of 240 forces, the transmission resource is more than 250 thousand km.

Chassis

On all machines "Wolf" is installed independent suspension, which allows you to change the height of the ride height if necessary. The average clearance is 400 mm, if necessary, it can be changed from a minimum of 250 to a maximum of 550 mm. Due to the possibility of adjusting the rigidity, the car can ride off-road with a speed of more than 60 km / h.

This type of suspension allows you to drive on the track of various all-wheel drive vehicles with a large load capacity, such as "KamAZ", "Ural". The car "Wolf" corresponds to them both in width and height of the ground clearance. This parameter provides an increase in the average speed of the military column.
