Russia’s latest Atlet armored vehicle to enter preliminary trials

The new armored vehicles will have to cover a distance of thousands of kilometers on cross-country terrain, primary and special roads


MOSCOW, August 1. /TASS/. The latest Atlet armored vehicles developed by Military Industrial Company will enter preliminary trials on August 5, Company CEO Alexander Krasovitsky told TASS on Thursday.

"From Monday [August 5], the prototypes of the Atlet armored vehicles are entering the program of preliminary trials," the chief executive said.

The trials will run on the testing grounds of the R&D Center of Automotive Equipment (Bronnitsy, the Moscow Region), the R&D Center of Armored Vehicles (Kubinka, the Moscow Region), Russia’s Defense Ministry and the NAMI Automobile Testing Center (the Dmitrov district in the Moscow Region), he specified.

The new armored vehicles will have to cover a distance of thousands of kilometers on cross-country terrain, primary and special roads, including with a 2.5-tonne trailer, check their operability at low and high temperatures and the fording capability.

Besides, the new vehicles will be tested for their anti-shelling and anti-blast capabilities. "Before the vehicle starts arriving for the troops and accomplishing assignments, we must be absolutely sure that it can fully protect our soldiers in a real warfare environment," the chief executive stressed.

The trials will involve the Atlet armored vehicle’s special-designation (ASN) and five-door multipurpose (AMN-2) prototypes. Representatives of the customer, the research and development institutes and defense industry enterprises will take part in the trials, the chief executive said.

Atlet family of armored vehicles

The new-generation Atlet armored vehicles have been developed by Military Industrial Company on order from Russia’s Defense Ministry as part of the Atlet R&D work. The Atlet armored vehicle was unveiled to the public at the Army-2019 international arms exhibition outside Moscow in late June.

The Atlet vehicles feature the 4x4 wheeled platform and are designated to carry personnel and military cargoes with the required level of protection, tow trailers and mount armament, military and special hardware.

In their standard configuration, the vehicles are equipped with anti-trauma seats for all the crewmembers and with the air conditioning system. The armored vehicles’ ballistic protection in its basic configuration corresponds to the 2nd level by general technical requirements.

As compared to the Tigr armored vehicle produced by Military Industrial Company, the Atlet features an increased lifting capacity of up to 1,600 kg and anti-mine resistance raised to 2 kg in TNT equivalent, a more powerful YaMZ-5347-24 Russian-made diesel engine with the maximum capacity of 240 hp.

Ground forces of the Russian Federation will be transplanted to electric vehicles

Units of the Russian army can get into service vehicles with hybrid power plants and an electric transmission. Electric vehicles will provide secretive and silent extension of military personnel to firing positions.
The issue of new models of weapons and the use of high-capacity energy storage devices is being worked out by the command of the Russian Ground Forces.

As the Army Commander-in-Chief, Army General Oleg Salyukov told the Krasnaya Zvezda newspaper , new technologies will make it possible to increase the energy of vehicles by an order of magnitude and expand the capabilities for arranging equipment and crew habitability. It will also be possible to ensure the use of new means of protection, modern and promising weapons.



"The appearance of these promising samples will allow us to fulfill the tasks in various conditions, adapt to the dynamics of changes in external factors, and significantly increase the autonomy of the troops," said the army general.
Note that in May the military traffic police in Moscow received the first two electric motorcycles IZH-Pulsar. In addition to environmental safety and low noise, motorcycles have low operating costs. The cost of 100 kilometers of the Izh-Pulsar route will cost from 13 to 36 rubles, while the gasoline analogue will cost 236 rubles. Without recharging, an electric motorcycle can travel about 150 kilometers, and the time it takes to fully fill its batteries is about an hour and a half. The electric motorcycle develops a maximum speed of up to 100 km / h with a power reserve of up to 150 kilometers.
