Russian company develops Strela multipurpose car family for Armed Forces
Currently, the line includes six vehicles, two of which - a base armored car and an amphibious armored car - are ready, the company said
MOSCOW, February 4. /TASS/. Russia’s Military-Industrial Company (VPK) will develop a new multipurpose car, based on the Strela armored vehicle, for the Ministry of Defense, VPK CEO Alexander Krasovitsky told TASS Thursday.
"The Strela car line is being developed in compliance with the Defense Ministry research and development work. Currently, the line includes six vehicles, two of which - a base armored car and an amphibious armored car - are ready. The series will also include a multipurpose non-armored car, making it possible to update the park of universal off-road vehicles of the Russian Army," Krasovitsky said.
According to the official, the Strela family will also include a light buggy for special operations forces, as well as armored and unarmored chassis for deployment of various weapons and systems.
He disclosed that Strela is cheaper than the Tigr armored vehicle due to use of commercial parts.
"Due to wide use of parts from commercial cars, the Strela vehicles could be services and repaired at the vast car service station network," Krasovitsky added.
He disclosed that VPK developed the Strela base car in 1.5 months under the company’s own initiative.
The vehicle family was first presented at the Army 2020 military forum in the Moscow Region’s Kubinka.

This is a sensible place to put that video... I was hoping people would be interested in a thread specifically about quad bikes and those very light metal framed dune buggy type vehicles used by special forces, and that perhaps a separate thread could be used.
Infantry Mobility Vehicles is a very broad topic and should include the topics on tanks and BMPs and BTRs too, but for instance there is a Kurganets and Boomerang thread for discussion specific to that.
No big deal.

Eskadron buggy. Replace the rockets with a few Hermes/Klenok missiles or some loitering ammunition (= suizide dones) and you got a higly mobile deep strike weapon.

It looks like one of those three wheel motor bike things that are all enclosed but the front part leans into corners at lower speeds...
The firepower looks interesting... I assume they are 80mm rocket pods of the new type being developed for drones and aircraft... I would think a rifle calibre machine gun and 40mm grenade launcher would be a useful back up too for ground and air targets too.
Interesting idea...
Conceptually like those Aerosans from WWII with a front mounted MG and it sat on skis and was powered by a big fan propeller...
Seems to be a single person vehicle... so this could be the equivalent of the RPG guy in a squad... imagine a family... with MGs and with grenade launchers and sniper rifles etc etc... mobile relatively lightly armoured... fast moving...

Actually one of those metal cable thresher things for setting off mines mounted on the front will make short work of any cars in your way that need to be mulched to make them easier to drive over...
And a basic over the shoulder mounted RWS with a rifle calibre machine gun and grenade launcher linked to a helmet mounted sight would be useful too.

Really? Nobody's going to mention the Russians made the rocket buggy real? For shame

It's obvious why they chose rockets:
1.) Dirt Cheap.
2.) Accurate with new laser guidance packages.
3.) Versatile because of all the different types of munitions, including loitering drones (including suicide ones).

Yeah, this turd will not fly
And I have a feeling it looks even more retarded from behind
Here is a crazy idea: Start ordering Mi-38s and then load normal armoured vehicle inside it instead of this abortion

Russia’s Baltic Machine-Building Company (BMK) will unveil the world’s first all-wheel high-speed amphibious vehicle christened “Drozd” during Army-2020 Forum to be held next week.
Drozd is based on a modular platform of the same name. The vehicle can accelerate to 70 kmph on water and up to 100 kmph on land, Mil.Press FLOT reported Monday.
Built from carbon fibre, the Drozd weighs 2 tons and can carry an additional weight of 1.5 tons. "Drozd" is powered by a 260 hp diesel engine weighing 120 kg.
The vehicle’s hull is distinguished by mine protection and the ability to install light armor. The wheels are equipped with an on-the-go inflation system. Drozd can be armed with various weapons - from machine guns and combat modules to multiple rocket launchers.
Although US (Lockheed Martin, General Dynamics), UK (Gibbs) and China (Research Institute of Vehicles) have built amphibious vehicles, none of the foreign analogs have a "real" all-wheel drive with blocking center and cross-axle differentials.
"The vehicle is designed modular, which makes it possible to create on its basis a line of amphibians for various purposes and carrying capacity," Sergey Tereshenkov, chief designer and head of BMK, noted. "Among them are options for the marines, the Navy, land force, coastal troops, reconnaissance forces, special operations forces, logistical support units, engineering troops (including for the guidance of pontoon crossings), medical services, etc. Also, the machine will find its use in other power structures: rescue, fire services and law enforcement agencies.”

Unarmored Variant.
I don't agree.
This one:
Is clearly a single seat vehicle... an armoured motorbike.
While this one:
Is a car like vehicle with two crew in the front, a person standing in the centre and two crew side by side facing backwards, they are totally different vehicles.
The former might be for a team of soldiers each in their own mini vehicle each with different levels of fire power but all with personal armour and high speed especially across flat open terrain where the enemy does have anti armour weapons.
The latter is high speed mobility for a group of 4-6 soldiers but also with mobile fire power... speed is the key.
I would suspect the single person vehicle is intended for flat open terrain with an enemy equipped with anti armour weapons... that vehicle would protect from small arms fire and spall if wearing body armour inside, but be a small tricky target for anti armour weapons and of course the fact that the enemy will be dealing with large numbers of vehicles all able to communicate and fire back would make them an interesting idea.
It is an alternative to putting everyone in big heavy vehicles like T-15 and try to absorb hits while moving across the battlefield.... of course for very dangerous missions they could be unmanned, or unmanned models could be part of the group and sent forward to get the enemy to open fire and reveal their positions which the manned models or drones can locate and target themselves.
The larger vehicle is tried and tested and is essentially a jeep with lots of machine guns for high speed mobility across rough terrain, where you locate enemy concentrations and units... if they are too big... run away and call in artillery or air strikes and if they are small rear area units hit them with fire power and clean them up... taking out supply routes and rear HQ and comms centres as well as storage areas and forming up points.

Looks like a roof mounted M60?
Or is it an Airsoft SCAR rifle?

The ongoing confrontation between armor and weapons has reached a new level with the development of high-precision artillery and guided missiles. Therefore, the leading armies accelerated the introduction of active protection equipment for armored vehicles. So, the state corporation "Rostec" has presented a new ammunition, which, by its detonation, can save equipment from high-precision weapons, the press service of the corporation said on Friday. Shooting smoke grenades with a T-90MS tank. Photo: http://vitalykuzmin.net/ Protective cloud The development of the Central Research Institute of Precision Engineering (TSNIITOCHMASH JSC, part of the Rostec State Corporation) is designed to increase the survivability of equipment on the battlefield. 76-mm ammunition weighing 2.8 kg, when detonated, forms a cloud of aerosol and dipole (false targets made of metallized materials) interference. The length of the scattered dipole reflectors should be approximately half the wavelength that the enemy radar emits. Coupled with aerosol interference, this allows you to protect equipment from active radar, television and thermal homing heads. The new ammunition differs from previous developments in the increased density of the aerosol-dipole curtain. Twice as large "cloud" is more likely to suppress ammunition with different types of guidance. Defensive ammunition will be used as part of existing protective equipment over a wide temperature range. The state tests of the development will be completed this year, and the demonstration of the ammunition will take place within the framework of the Army-2021 forum, - noted in Rostec. Application prospects Apparently, the new ammunition will be used as part of the Arena active protection systems (KAZ), and the Arena optoelectronic active protection (KOEP). So, "Arena" includes a radar that looks for targets flying up to the vehicle. After detecting the movement parameters of the enemy ammunition, the on-board computer calculates the optimal firing time, and the number of the counter-ammunition produced. Existing ammunition "Arena" (and other KAZ) create a cloud of damaging elements that destroy the incoming ammunition. T-90A with working spotlights of the Stora complex. Photo: http://btvt.narod.ru Probably, the new projectile will make it possible to turn the Arena into a soft-kill system, which will allow the vehicle to be secured even at the aiming stage. This will make KAZ similar to the KOEP "Shtora". Recall that this system has sensors for laser irradiation and detection of ATGM control channels. When a threat is detected, the system activates IR illuminators, the modulated radiation of which disrupts the control of enemy ammunition. Additionally, the machine is masked by the shooting of 12 smoke grenades. If they are replaced with promising ammunition, "Shtora" will be able to deal with threats with greater efficiency. The exact purpose of the ammunition, most of the characteristics of which are still classified, may become known after the demonstration of the novelty. Let us remind you that the Army-2021 forum will open on August 22 in the Patriot Park.
