Slovakian APC TATRAPAN
Something for next version's OOB update?
TATRAPAN is a 6x6 wheeled APC based on Tatra T815 VP 21 265 6x6.1R truck chassis - the design is somewhat atypical in the fact it mounts the chassis backwards, thus two axles are at the front and one axle, along with engine, in the rear. In the front there's fairly big cabin with troop/special equipment compartment behind, the vehicle should be resistant to bullets up to 12.7 mm if I got it right. Basic stats (TATRAPAN T1): Crew: 2+10-12 Length: 8.66 m Width: 2.5 m Height: 2.75 m Roadspeed: 70 kph Armament: Up to 2x NSVT Variants: TATRAPAN T1 - APC for 10-12 troops, with two pintle mounts available for weapons - NSVT, AGS-30, UK-59... TATRAPAN ZASA - developped for peacekeeping, with reinforced structure, esp. against mines. Originally unarmed, but vehicles deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan got armament back. TATRAPAN AMB - Ambulance TATRAPAN VESPRA - command and staff vehicle TATRAPAN PVO - AA command vehicle TATRAPAN DELSYS - Artillery command vehicle TATRAPAN BAZUS, TATRAPAN VPG - Command vehicles for ZUZANA-equipped arty units TATRAPAN MOD - modernised variant with better engine and transmission (C3I) TATRAPAN ASTRA PVO - Automated AA coordination and command system TATRAPAN VShRV-2 - C3I Warning! Here and here be pictures, here be liks to other variants. |
Re: Slovakian APC TATRAPAN
