The armored pickup truck "Legionnaire" from the company "RBM" ("Russian Battle Machines") has appeared on the Web. Despite the veil of secrecy surrounding the development, some technical characteristics are already known that allow us to assess the potential of this machine.
The protection class of the car is BR 5, it guarantees protection against automatic weapons and fragments. The weight of 6.5 tons emphasizes the solidity of the design. At the same time, a carrying capacity of 2.5 tons indicates the possibility of using the "Legionnaire" for transporting goods, equipment, personnel or installing large-caliber small arms. The maximum speed of 100 km/h ensures operational movement in various conditions, and a range of 750 km allows you to perform tasks over considerable distances without refueling.
The pickup truck is equipped with a YaMZ-234 engine with a capacity of 200 hp. This diesel engine is known for its reliability and ease of maintenance, which is especially important for cars operating in difficult conditions. The choice of this particular engine indicates the desire of the developers to create a machine capable of withstanding high loads and ensuring stable operation.
In general, the armored pickup truck "Legionnaire" is a promising development, combining a high level of protection, load capacity and reliability. It is expected that after the official presentation, additional details about the design, equipment and functionality of this machine will become known.
Earlier www1.ru reported that the civilian heavy-duty truck "Ural NEXT" was prepared for service in the Russian army.
