i cant understand all this conflict in discussion. And all started from me by posting a BTR-80 variant for National Guard

Deliveries to the SMF of combat counter-sabotage machines "Typhoon-M" and their trainers

According to the January 9, 2017 Department of Information and Mass Communications of the Russian Federation Ministry of Defence, has completed the development and testing of anti-sabotage combat vehicles (BPMD) "Typhoon-M", designed for the protection and defense missile systems Strategic Missile Forces (RVSN).

Currently BPDM "Typhoon-M" enter the compound, rearming on mobile ground missile systems (PGRK) "yars". In 2016 the Strategic Missile Forces received 14 such machines, for 2017 planned delivery of 12 more BPDM.



Fighting anti-sabotage machine (BPDM) "Typhoon-M" designed for the benefit of the SMF-is based on BTR-82. It is designed for reconnaissance in position areas in the radar, optical and infrared wavelengths as well as the fight against sabotage and reconnaissance groups of the enemy.

BPDM uniqueness lies in its complex equipping intelligence tools, including unmanned aircraft that can detect the enemy at a distance of 5 km.

Along counter-sabotage machines in the SMF enters a unique simulator for training of military guard units and intelligence to find subversive groups in the areas of invisibility opt-electronic and radio-electronic means.

Due to the multi-functionality of simulator it allows to train all crew BPDM - by the driver to hand remote-controlled platform.

The newest models fitness complex tactical situation in the area of ​​active actions of subversive groups, all fixed and movable objects, including motor vehicles and personnel of the enemy. System simulation tactical situation allows you to control the appearance of the effects of explosions, gunfire and tracer bullets.

The simulator makes it possible to control the actions of the trainees in real-time, capturing each of the calculation error numbers automatically. Television monitoring system allows the head of studies to observe the actions of all members of the crew.

In the educational building, simulating combat starting position PGRK "yars" "soldiers learn to establish intelligence-signaling devices designed to detect spies in all weather conditions, regardless of the time of day.

In 2016 the Strategic Missile Forces was delivered 10 simulators BPDM "Typhoon-M", another 20 such complexes will go up to 2020.

Comment bmpd. Fighting anti-sabotage machine (BPDM) 15TS56M "Typhoon-M" was designed in 2007-2012 for the benefit of the SMF-based on BTR-82. BPDM" Typhoon-M "is intended for the protection of combat missile complexes RVSN, reconnaissance in position areas in the Strategic missile Forces radar, optical and infrared wavelengths, and anti-sabotage and reconnaissance units of the enemy. The complex reconnaissance BPDM "Typhoon-M" consists of small UAVs "Aileron-3CB." The machine is a further development of BPDM 15TS56 "Typhoon", created in the 1990s on the basis of the BTR-80, but not commercially produced.

As informs the Bulletin of Mordovia at the International military technical forum "Army - 2017" for the first time BTR-87 was openly presented. This armored car is considered a radical upgrade of the well-known family of BTR-80 and BTR-82. The most significant difference is the location of the engine-transmission compartment. This armored personnel carrier is located in the front, on the right.
The driver is in the usual place for himself, the commander is behind him. The combat module is pushed back a little. In the rear part there is an amphibious compartment, for which aft hatches are provided.




As for the combat module, it is reported that several options are possible. Including uninhabited. All of them are equipped with perfect fire control systems with thermal imaging channels and are armed with a 30-mm cannon with a twin machine gun. The installation of anti-tank complexes "Cornet", as well as containers with flamethrowers "Shmel" is foreseen.



BTR-87 has reinforced armor and mine protection. The engine of increased power will achieve a maximum speed of 90 km/h.
This machine is not created as an alternative to VPK-7829 "Boomerang". The fact is that, inside the country and abroad, there is always a need for cheaper armored personnel carriers, on which units and aggregates of equipment well mastered in the troops are widely used.

Having rear entry doors would be a serious improvement for the BTR-80 family... and would not increase costs that much.

For exports it would improve performance without costing too much or needing too many changes.

It improves a vehicle design and makes something that was adequate even better.

Another step up above the BTR-82.

It wont replace Boomerang for the Russians, because the whole idea of the Boomerang family is logistics tail so having a different vehicle in the force makes little sense because it ruins the idea of having one engine and one set of spares needed for all vehicles in the force.

For export it removes one problem of the BTR series of vehicles in terms of entry and exit.

It will be some time before the Boomerang and Kurganets and Armata can be exported so upgraded versions of older vehicles make sense... both for export and to upgrade in service models.

A new design that brings new features and new capabilities means producing old models is a bit of a waste of time.
