Engineers at "Omskmash" have created a unique fire engine capable of effectively fighting fire and conducting rescue operations in particularly dangerous conditions. It is designed to extinguish fires in warehouses of explosives and ammunition, as well as to lay firebreaks and clear paths during forest fires. A special feature of the vehicle is the use of components from Russian T-72 and T-80 tanks, which ensures high cross-country ability and reliable crew protection thanks to the armored hull. The vehicle, weighing up to 60 tons, is equipped with 25 cubic meters of fire extinguishing agents with a delivery range of up to 100 meters. The crew consists of three people.
