Today, 15: 50

The RChBZ troops will soon receive a new RKhM-9 radiation, chemical and biological (RCB) reconnaissance vehicle. The creation of the machine was completed by the Tula Plant of the Roskhimzashchita corporation. This was announced by the Deputy Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation Alexei Krivoruchko.

PJSC "Plant" Tula "completed the development work of" Bogomaz ", within the framework of which a promising RCB reconnaissance vehicle RHM-9 with a completely new instrument base was created

- said the deputy minister.

The new RCB reconnaissance vehicle was created on the basis of the KamAZ-63969 Typhoon armored vehicle and is designed to conduct radiation, chemical and biological reconnaissance on the battlefield. At the same time, the design of the vehicle allows data collection without the crew leaving the vehicle. In terms of efficiency, the new vehicle is two times superior to the RCB reconnaissance vehicles of previous generations.

The development of new vehicles PXM-9 based on Typhoon and PXM-8 based on the Tiger armored car was reported in 2017. In 2018, both vehicles were demonstrated during a private display at the Army-2018 International Military-Technical Forum. In 2019, they were shown during the Victory Parade in Tula.

PJSC "Plant Tula" specializes in mobile means of radiation, chemical and biological reconnaissance. It was at this plant that the RKhM-2S was created on the basis of the GT-MU, RKhM-4 and RKhM-6 tracked transporters on the BTR-80 and RKhM-5 chassis based on the BMD-3 for the Airborne Forces.

Reliable wheels

The chief designer of the enterprise, Igor Zarakhovich, told reporters that from next year all Remdiesel cars will be equipped with new domestic wheels with combat-resistant rubber inserts. "The new Kama wheels are intended for all our cars, they are produced in Nizhnekamsk. Now they are in the process of state tests. After the completion of state tests, we will begin to equip our cars with these wheels," Zarakhovich said. Some models will receive new wheels this year, he said.

The chief designer said that the new Russian wheels have "a combat-resistant rubber insert, which allows them to continue moving when they are broken." “This is a full-fledged analogue of the tires that we buy abroad,” he added.

"Remdizel" produces equipment for use in the Armed Forces, mainly armored vehicles of the "Typhoon" line of different classes and different wheel arrangements. The volume of the state defense order at the enterprise is 93%. On average, the plant produces about 300 armored vehicles per year; in 2020, Remdizel produced 250 vehicles for the needs of the Ministry of Defense.

Mi-26: Do you even lift bro?


I'm quite digging this 4*4 Kamaz, its got nice proportions, just the right amount of aesthetic panels, seems to be a maturely featured MRAP, production is now fully domesticated, simplified & high parts commonality with the bigger 6*6 model.

Found this vid with good walkaround/interior of both versions

That was the original test prototype design, why are there pics of it now?

Because the tirelessly working russian engineers turned it into an NBC revon vehicle and presented it at the Army 21 exhibition.

Until it croaks and you have to close it

In case of hydraulic failure and you have to close the door manually I am sure the driver will have attached a rope...

Until you end up sitting next to a mud covered staircase or one of the crewmen steps in some dung.

In case of an attack that leaves the door disabled - do you really want to stay in the vehicle at all, knowing that there are weapons strong enough to punch through the vehicle's protection? If the answer is no, then drop-down doors make a lot of sense since on their own with the lock disengaged the natural tendency of the door would be to open just from gravity, which is neat because if someone is injured they might have trouble opening heavy metal doors.

If there are enemy tank, helicopters or attack aircraft they such tactics may be advisable, but if it is only 1 HMG or man with a rocket launcher backed up by a dozen riflemen then there could be an argument for staying inside.

So exhibition clickbait
Surely they should just put that gear into an existing production 6*6 version

It is the drivers door... if he steps in poo then it is his problem... I would say he would not be getting into and out of the vehicle all that often...
