At a Buggy Pace: Production of Ultralight All-Terrain Vehicles for the Military Mastered in Russia

Soldiers Received a Light and Maneuverable Vehicle

Repair and recovery units of the Russian army have mastered the production of buggies directly on the line of combat contact, using engines, components, and assemblies from captured samples, as well as automotive equipment subject to restoration.

Thus, hundreds of buggies have already been manufactured, which are successfully used on the front lines. A buggy is a fairly simple and inexpensive vehicle to produce, said military expert Yuri Lyamin.

It is important that buggies are easy to repair. They also have a good power-to-weight ratio, which makes them very passable. And the front is off-road and mud. As a result, our soldiers receive a light, fast, passable, and maneuverable vehicle. In the face of the constant threat of FPV drones, these are very important qualities. Speed and maneuverability are now crucial - they allow you to evade attacks from the air.

According to him, buggies are easy to camouflage. It is enough to throw branches over a small car or drive it into a small room, hiding it from the enemy.

Earlier,www1.ru reported that Russian military invented a unique periscope with a thermal imager for observation.
