"Russian UralVagonZavod (UVZ) has developed the TMM-6 heavy bridge system intended to be used with the MTU-90M armoured vehicle launched bridge (AVLB), according to a source in the company. The TMM-6 bridge is based on the MZKT-7930 8x8 wheel truck produced by the JSC Minsk Wheel Tractor Plant (MZKT). The bridge sections can be laid down from within the cabin of the vehicle or via remote control system.

The TMM-6 bridge includes up to 6 separate sections with 102 m total maximum length. The system can cover a gap of between 17 and 100 m with depth up to 5 m. TMM-6 has assembly time of 60-80 minutes and disassembly time of about 90 minutes for the bridge of maximum length. Two MZKT-7930s carry one bridge section per truck. The remaining four sections are transported on 6 Ural 6x6 truck which tows a trailer.

The TMM-6 bridge system has a high pass-through capacity. Approximately 300 tracked (or 400 wheeled) vehicles can cross the bridge in one hour moving at speed up to 20 km/h. TMM-6 is fully compatible with MTU-90M AVLB which is based on the hull of T-90 main battle tank. TMM-6 is supposed to replace the obsolete TMM bridge system mounted on 6x6 truck.



The MTU-90M is a bridge laying system based one the chassis of the T-90 main battle tank. The MTU-90M has entered in service with the Russian army in 2013. The MTU-90M is an improved version of the MTU-90 but with a shorter bridge. The MTU-90M can configure one bridge of 19 meters length."

"The Avrora Design Bureau in the Russian city of Ryazan developed the Mars A-800 versatile unmanned transport platform designed to carry infantrymen on the battlefield. It has been unveiled at a Russian Defense Ministry-sponsored conference on robotics recently. The Mars A-800 platform is designed, in the first place, to accompany infantrymen in combat and carry cargo as well as to resupply units. It can carry six troops in full battle rattle.

The vehicle weighs 950 kg and features a high carrying capacity - 500 kg. Its maximum speed is 35 km/h. The platform can swim at 5 km/h. the Mars A-800 can operate in ambient temperature of -40°C to +40°C. It is remotely controlled via a radio channel by a single operator.



The vehicle can operate in four modes. The Follow Me mode implies the platform’s automatic following of an active beacon attached to the operator’s uniform. In the Track mode, the Mars A-800 follows a route with the waypoints programmed by the operator in its map. The Cyclic Visit mode implies continuous following of a preset route. The operator also can directly control the vehicle in the Remote Control mode. According to the Avrora Design Bureau, two advanced technologies - operation as a group and parachute drop - are integrated with the Mars A-800."

"The Russian Company Tractor Plants has announced trials tests in cold weather conditions of its TM-140, an all-terrain tracked amphibious vehicle especially designed to be used in Arctic region. The TM-140 is based on the Chetra, an all-terrain vehicle manufactured for the civilian market. The CHETRA is one of the world's finest all-terrain vehicles in terms of cross-country capabilities. The vehicle is especially designed to have high maneuverability and survivability, even in soils with low bearing capacity.

The CHETRA is able to carry loads of up to 4 tons and traverses swamp areas and permafrost. The vehicle is purposed for transportation of shifts of workers, geological survey troops, and repair teams and for other off-theroad transportation requirements. The CHETRA PM-140 is designed to operate in boreal climatic conditions within temperature range of +40°C to -40°C. The TM-140 is the military version of the CHETRA all-terrain vehicle. In December 2015, during 5th Arctic - Today and Tomorrow International Forum, the Russian Defense Ministry has showed interest for the TM-140A arctic all-terrain vehicle (ATV).



The TM-140 is based on a tracked chassis with a crew cabin at the front and a cargo area at the rear. The cab’s seating capacity is seven passengers, including three sleeping bunks. The passenger module seats eight personnel or can be converted to have four full-fledged bunks. The TM-140 can run at a maximum speed of 45 km/h with a maximum cruising range of 550 km. The vehicle is fully amphibious being propelled in the water by its tracks at a maximum speed of 5 km/h."

Military acceptance: The rally in the Arctic Ocean.



Lots of good stuff about all the new Arctic gear being deployed. The portable barracks come with fabric hammocks that are capable of holding weights of 440 kg's (or potentially more) without breaking or tearing, which is pretty astonishing considering that they're just thin sheets of fabric.
