В 2009 году КАМАЗ купил два итальянских бронеавтомобиля Iveco LMV для испытаний.
Минобороны России приняло решение о закупке этих машин, несмотря на отсутствие конкурса и сравнительных испытаний.
Iveco LMV имеет лучшую противоминную и противопульную защиту, но не обеспечивает полную защиту от пуль с термоупрочненным сердечником.
В 2010 году КАМАЗ вышел из проекта из-за ограничений, связанных с военно-техническим сотрудничеством.
Iveco LMV провалила испытания на проходимость перед трибунами на выставке в Нижнем Тагиле.
Цена Iveco LMV составляет 17,1 млн рублей, что делает ее самой дорогой бронемашиной в мире.
Рыси продолжают свою боевую работу и активно участвуют в СВО.

Hello everyone, you are on the Dasha technician channel and today I will tell you about the adventures of Italians in Russia, namely about the Lynx armored car. How did they end up in service with the Russian Federation

And what does the Italians have to do with it? I will also tell you how these kitty tigers turned out to be stronger than the lynx. It all started with the fact that in the middle of 2009, KAMAZ purchased two “multifunctional light-duty vehicles” for testing – armored Iveco LMV.

The cost of each is as much as 300 thousand euros without customs clearance and VAT in the prices of those years. The leadership of the Russian Ministry of Defense liked the vehicle, which is already serving in a dozen countries, primarily

For its explosion protection. There were no similar structures in Russia at that time. The military leaders announced that they would purchase LMV instead of domestic Tigers, and immediately accepted the armored car for supply (which is tantamount to adoption) – by Order No. 650 of June 16, 2010.

Now compare: let’s say, the Russian BTR-90 Rostock was created in the mid-nineties, but it was accepted for supply only in 2008. (And still, the Russian Ministry of Defense refused to purchase this model, calling it unpromising). And here an unfamiliar, and even completely imported, vehicle,

Purchased in two copies, is accepted into service not only without a competition, but also without a full cycle of tests. Don’t you find this strange? The public exploded with indignation: they are going to transfer our army to Italian armored cars! A video of comparative

Tests on virgin snow, where the LMV outright lost to the Tiger, added fuel to the fire. Everything in the video is fair! After starting on virgin soil 65 cm deep, the Tiger quickly moved forward, and the Italian car crawled with difficulty,

Raking up a mountain of snow in front of the bumper. However, KAMAZ employees assured that the problem was that the bumper was too wide and the lack of protection for the pan – and this was corrected in subsequent samples.

So, the main argument of the Ministry of Defense was that the Iveco is protected much better than the army Tiger not only from bullets (class 6a – the highest according to GOST versus the third class), but also from

Mines and landmines (more than six kilograms of TNT versus 200 grams). This is true. But – crafty. After all, when the military themselves drew up the technical specifications for the Tiger, no one demanded such bulletproof and mine resistance from it! Another thing is that the Military Industrial Company (MIC),

Which inherited the Tiger from GAZ, did not itself offer an explosion-proof model… So the army Tiger-233014 can withstand the explosion of a “lemon” grenade under the bottom and fire from a Kalashnikov assault rifle with bullets containing steel core, although our army has long switched to more powerful bullets

With a heat-strengthened core (TUS). By the way, the Tiger SPM-2, created by order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, is armored much more powerfully, according to the fifth class, and “holds” bullets with TUS. At the same time, both army and armed forces Tigers serve in hot spots where they shoot for real!

When the Lynx was already undergoing full testing (two more samples were purchased in 2010), the military-industrial complex company, on its own initiative, created the Tiger-ba model, protected from bullets in the same way as the Lveco. But this vehicle was not of interest to the army leadership:

In 2010, at an exhibition in Bronnitsy, it was in an open display, but the KAMAZ lveco with the Russian-language inscriptions “Lynx” on the back was in a closed display, accessible only to the Minister of Defense and his retinue. To all questions about the Iveso-Lynx,

KAMAZ General Director Sergei Kogogin smiled: “The car is excellent… Kamaz workers bought ten cars, and then assembled them in addition to four ready-made armored cars purchased earlier. But immediately after this, KAMAZ left the project! Why? The media claimed that the Italians were unable to provide a license,

Since Lynx components are produced in different countries… As a result, the Ministry of Defense took matters into its own hands, and at the exhibition in Nizhny Tagil, Lveco armored cars were already on the stand of the “Ministry of Defense commercial company Oboronservis.”

But at the demonstration show, Lynx again disgraced itself due to cross-country ability – this time in front of the stands, in front of Putin, who arrived at the show. The fact is that the day before the show, the Lynx crew (they say he arrived from Italy on purpose) decided to practice

On the obstacle course and got stuck. Therefore, during the demonstration, the Lynx simply avoided large obstacles under the sarcastic comments of the audience (this video can also be found on Youtube). But the Tiger overcame them all! Not surprising:

Its ground clearance is 400 mm versus 290 mm for the Lynx. And the bottom is smooth, without protruding suspension arms. But let’s return to KAMAZ. This is what its general director at the time, Sergei Kogogin, said : “Now we act only as consultants. Now Oboronservis is engaged in this work.

But from the point of view of localization, it is unlikely to be able to perform the functions that KAMAZ performed… Why didn’t the project go ahead? Because of problems with licenses? – Not exactly. Yes, there was a problem with the generator from the USA:

It was made hermetically sealed to overcome fords. But KAMAZ and IVECO found a suitable replacement option. What then was the reason for leaving the project? Kamaz tested the car for a year, ensured its acceptance for supplies, made a purchase, trained personnel, assembled ten vehicles… But there is a law on military-technical cooperation,

Which imposes very serious restrictions on both the company and the people who head it. There is one very important point. KAMAZ cooperates with the Ministry of Defense , but their area of ​​interest is in the civilian segment, and military topics are secondary. Is this burdensome? That’s not the point: it requires large

Investment costs, labor costs and a clear strategy. And the consciousness of the military has not yet changed. KAMAZ cannot be the country’s greatest patriot forever! As for the explosion tests (the video is on YouTube), when the specialists saw these shots,

They rendered their verdict: “yes, the body is intact. But the crew received severe injuries or died! Not from fragments, but from the flow of a shock wave, when the pressure inside the armored capsule instantly increases

And just as instantly drops. The picture clearly shows that the explosion opened the hatch, and if the body depressurizes, people suffer barotrauma.” And the tests themselves raise serious doubts. As if they were not a well-staged performance! Similar performances had been seen before – both

In Germany and in Russia, when, in front of journalists, an armored car or its glass was shot with bullets not with a steel core, but with a soft, lead… In this case, it is clearly visible that the charge is located in front of the left front wheel.

But according to the European standard, it should lie directly under the wheel, and even with a 50 percent offset into the depth of the car. In addition, experts are alarmed by the color and brightness of the flame from the explosion.

“It looks like the domestic SHIRAS, a saber that imitates the explosion of an artillery shell, which contains 75 g of TNT and about a kilogram of pine sawdust. It doesn’t explode much, but it’s incredibly impressive.”

Be that as it may, there is a suspicion that there is a charge. placed in a pipe, it acted directionally, according to a given scenario – it tore off the wheels and tore open the engine compartment, but left the body

Unharmed. Now look at the pictures of LMVs that were blown up in Afghanistan by real landmines: their crews were much less lucky! No wonder: a small and relatively light armored car cannot be turned into an invulnerable tank. And there are problems with bulletproof protection.

Russian armorers have found a number of places where it is not just weakened – it is not there at all. For example, the armored body panels are separated by a thick rubber seal, and the holes in the front doors through

Which the mirror adjustment levers pass are not protected in any way. connection with all this – One of the main questions: why wasn’t the LMV blown up and shot in Russia? After all, foreign buyers of our armored vehicles often demand testing in their countries!

For example, the Brazilian police, before starting testing the Tigers, riddled one of the vehicles with various types of local weapons – to make sure that the protection class corresponded to the declared one. Here’s another question. Why did the Ministry of Defense choose Iveco, although in Europe there are a number of equally

Worthy designs, say, the German Dingo 2 or the Swiss Eagle IV? After all, we repeat, no competition or comparative selection was held. Be that as it may, the slipway assembly of the Lynxes began in the workshop of the Voronezh automobile repair plant of the Ministry of Defense.

The amount of work is small: workers attach cargo compartments to finished vehicles, screw on the hood, winch, spare wheel… Vehicle kits were sent to Voronezh in trucks – two armored cars per trailer. In total, by 2020 the Ministry of Defense planned to purchase 1,775 copies. And theoretically, Russia became

The owner of the largest LMV fleet in the world! And the most expensive, since, according to auto review, the total amount of the contract is more than 30 billion rubles, and the final price of one car is as much as 17.1 million

Rubles For comparison: a hefty BTR-82A fully equipped with a weapon system with its stabilizer and navigation costs 20.1 million rubles, a Tiger costs only 5.7 million rubles. The problem is that Lynx itself is incredibly expensive.

Consider for yourself: the price of a vehicle kit at customs is 275 thousand euros, or translated at the exchange rate of those years – 10 million 725 thousand rubles. KAMAZ cleared the Lynx through customs like ordinary cars, with a 30 percent duty. Oboronservis – apparently already like “tanks and other combat self-propelled armored

Vehicles”, with a 20% duty. As a result, the car costs, including VAT, from 15 to 16 million rubles. Back and forth-margin-losses. – here is the required 17 million. Do you know how much the Lynx running boards cost, modified at the request of KAMAZ? One

Piece – almost a thousand dollars! “body heater guard $870 apiece. By the way, Oboronservice sent a letter to the Federal Customs Service with a request to exempt Lynx from customs duties altogether: they say, it is a strategic project under the control of the president… In addition, within four years Oboronservice planned to make

Half of the components domestic – through the creation of fifty-fifty joint ventures with the Italians and Germans. Nevertheless, the Russian defense department learned its lesson with the trot. Some time after the delivery of the armored cat to supply the Russian army, several models of armored vehicles were developed that were superior to

The Italian armored car . For example, the Typhoon-VDV, Asteis armored cars and many others, and most importantly, the design search continues. And the huge number of experimental vehicles shown at the Army-2023 forum exhibition once again confirm this. You could see some of them in my videos.

Lynx after abandonment their further purchases continue their combat work and actively participate in the air defense system, one way or another performing their functions. I hope you liked my story about the strange purchase of European armored cars for the Russian army. If so,
