ДОСЛІДЖЕННЯ СИСТЕМИ ЗАХИСТУ РОСІЙСЬКОГО БРОНЕАВТОМОБІЛЯ ПІДВИЩЕНОЇ ЗАХИЩЕНОСТІ «ТАЙФУН-К». ПЕРЕВАГИ І НЕДОЛІКИ КОНСТРУКЦІЇ

Abstract

Since the full-scale invasion of the armed forces of the russian federation on the territory of Ukraine, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have been effectively destroying Russian equipment, including the latest models. Thus, in different regions of our country, many cases of the destruction of the newest russian armored vehicles KamAZ-63968 «Typhoon-K» have been recorded, which have been in service with the airborne troops of the russian armed forces since 2016 and are actively used by the invaders in aggression against Ukraine. In addition to the destroyed «Typhoon-K» there are also trophy samples captured that are technically functional, which makes it possible to evaluate the design of the sample and the technical solutions applied in it. Since in the RF KamAZ-63968 is positioned as an armored vehicles of increased security, the subject of research in the article is the protection system of the armored vehicles «Typhoon K». The main method of research in the article is analytical analysis, which allows us to assess the level of technological development of the enemy's military defense system in terms of the protection of armored vehicles, helps to determine elements important for intelligence activities, including foreign components, the restriction of supplies of which in the RF will affect current and future combat operations, and also allows to single out advantages and disadvantages that must be taken into account by domestic manufacturers of similar products. Therefore, the purpose of the article is: firstly, to evaluate the design of the armored vehicles, the elements of the passive protection system and the actual level of protection for their effective neutralization with appropriate means of destruction; secondly, to identify foreign component elements of the «Typhoon-K» protection system to include them in the list of goods to restrict their export to the RF by partner countries; thirdly, to refute the inflated specifications indicators claimed by the russian side for the illusion of dominance over similar armored vehicles of the MRAP class of NATO member countries. Methods of neutralization of such samples remain very relevant, since at the moment more than 260 units of them have been delivered to the armed forces of the RF. From the main material of the article, in accordance with its purpose, conclusions and recommendations for consideration by domestic manufacturers are summarized.
