BTR 82A - a new word in the production of heavy military equipment.This armored personnel carrier, in fact, is deeply modernized and updated version of the BTR 80. The efforts of the designers and the leading military engineers has been improved and modified several units, parts, upgrades and weapons touched conveyor.
Armor
on the inner surface of the housing 82A armored personnel carriers mounted layered Ballistic protection of a synthetic material, the properties of Kevlar-like.Protect the floor mats provide high-quality mine, reducing the negative effects of explosions under the wheels.Each layer forming the mat has a set of certain properties, as a result provides reliable protection.In addition to mechanical protection, multi-layered mats also dampen the impact of the wave generated by the explosion.Fight with the blast and help special suspension seat crew and troops.
Opposition fire
significantly improved and fire-fighting system.Outdoor firmly opposed to anti-armor shells, and multi-layered protection, in addition to the immediate function, also increases the comfort of the crew, increasing the thermal insulation inside the case.The whole complex of measures to improve the fire resistance has enhanced the vitality of the conveyor in the battle to an additional 20% compared to the prototype.
fighting capacity
on BTR 82A set a unified fighting module, equipped with electric drive and two-plane stabilizer arms.The main weapon of combat unit - 30 mm gun 2A72, moreover, there KPVT gun with a caliber of 14.5 mm machine gun PKTM (7.62 mm).KPVT equipped with a single ribbon of five hundred rounds, and is provided for PKTM tape with 2000 cartridges.Designers should consider the possibility of installation and other weapons aboard an armored personnel carrier.
BTR 82A was fitted with a combined sight is equally effective at any time of the day.The sight that has great opportunities, thanks navodchikuTKN-4ga with stabilizer review.This improves the efficiency of fire compared to the prototype 2.5.With new weapons BTR 82A whose specifications are suitable for conducting reconnaissance and sabotage activities to further expand its capabilities in the contact battle.
Chassis, engine and dynamic performance
Because the armor weight of the new machine has increased slightly.However, the dynamic performance is not had a negative impact.Moreover, the increased mobility of the machines.This happened due to the installation of the diesel engine KAMAZ 740 with a capacity of 300 "horses".Wheel gears were unified.The machine is equipped with shock absorbers of increased power consumption and drive shafts with special end slots.It was developed and drive axles.The new BTR 82A they were able to 100% positive locking.It is at times increased the ability of the machine to overcome the lack of roads.Among other things, on the conveyor was installed transfer case having a permanent engagement.This improvement increases the wear life of gears and prevents premature failure.
Comfort crew
If necessary, muffle the engine when stationary, when there is no possibility of using energy storage battery, is designed to assist the installation pyatikilovattnoy power capable of powered all of APC.Motoresurs main motor at that time is not wasted.For the convenience of the crew with a powerful air conditioner that allows to provide adequate climate inside the machine.
Accessories
machine is equipped with a radio station, and is responsible for the navigation system of orientation "throne-1", equipped with satellite TV and autonomous information.The system determines the current position of the machine, calculates distance finding objects, records the route of movement.
armored personnel carrier armed with
February 7th, 2013, Sergei Shoigu signed an order on statement on the new Russian Army BTR 82A.Features armored vehicle can use it in several combat arms, including assault and intelligence.
Recently, public attention was again drawn to the APCs in connection with military operations in the Donbass.According to the Ukrainian side, BTR 82A in Ukraine was seen armed militias.Official Russia denies this information, referring to the fact that abroad, the model of the conveyor is not delivered.
are currently under development even more advanced version - BTR 90. Most likely, the new machine will be other, more serious and expensive class.But armed with a "mass" of the army remain conveyors grades 80 and 82.
