Typhoon-K MRAP Vehicle to Enter Foreign Markets
Rosoboronexport (part of the Rostec State Corporation) has started promoting fully import-substituted Typhoon K-53949 mine resistant ambush protected (MRAP) vehicles in foreign markets.
The Typhoon-K motor vehicles are designed to provide integrated logistics support to combined arms and special units, including peacekeeping formations, in various environments. They can be used to carry personnel and military cargos and serve as the basic chassis for mounting a variety of technical systems and weapons.
High Reliability
The Typhoon-K vehicles feature high reliability, manoeuvrability, cross-country ability and innovative approaches to their protection, ergonomics, layout and equipment. They can ford up to 1.5 metres without preparation and climb 30-degree slopes. With a new generation 350hp diesel engine, the Typhoon K-53949 can reach a maximum speed of 100 km/h.
All models of the Typhoon-K family are equipped with an onboard information management system, a central tyre inflation system, bullet-proof tyres, an all-round video surveillance system, an automatic fire-extinguishing system, and a diesel auxiliary power unit (APU). In addition, remotely controlled weapon stations with stabilised armament can be mounted on them. The armament suite varies depending on customer needs.
The 4x4 vehicles are equipped with a hinged ramp in the rear to allow troops to board and disembark from them quickly and easily.
Vast experience in the development and operation of army vehicles has been complemented by new approaches to design and state-of-the-art technologies of protection against the most dangerous threats.
Enhanced Protection
Typhoon K-53949 armoured vehicles are distinguished by enhanced mine and ballistic protection corresponding to NATO STANAG 4569 Level 3 with the possibility of strengthening it to Level 4.
A high level of protection is provided by composite armour, including an armoured hull and add-on armour plates with ceramic elements, as well as a streamlined hull design and removable anti-mine plates.
Troop seats have a suspended system of attachment to the roof, are equipped with blast energy absorbing elements, safety belts and head restraints for fixing the head.
The designers have provided for the possibility of installing additional protection — internal spall liners, as well as special hinged mats to increase the level of protection against anti-tank grenade launchers.
Vehicles for various purposes are being developed from the Typhoon-K chassis by installing weapons, process, engineer and other special equipment.
Industrial Partnership
Rosoboronexport Director General Alexander Mikheev said: “Rosoboronexport presents to its partners an armoured vehicle of the Typhoon-K family assembled exclusively from Russian-made components. This vehicle has proven to be a reliable and highly protected personnel carrier. The Typhoon-K is in service with the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation and has substantiated its performance under actual operating and combat conditions. Many of Rosoboronexport’s partners are operating armoured vehicles based on this family of vehicles and give them positive feedback.”
He added: “This MRAP vehicle is of great interest for Middle Eastern, African, Latin American, Asia-Pacific and former USSR countries. Independence from foreign components in the production of the Typhoon-K gives us and our partners confidence in timely and complete after-sale service of the vehicles supplied, their modernisation and development.”
According to him, Rosoboronexport is witnessing great interest from foreign customers and is ready to cooperate in the format of industrial partnership in the production of various versions of Typhoon-K vehicles, including localisation of their production. “Today, we have a significant portfolio of completed projects on licensed production, cooperation within joint ventures, as well as building an infrastructure for the maintenance and modernisation of Russian military equipment on the territory of partners,” he pointed out.
Rosoboronexport is Russia’s sole state agency for export of the full range of defence-related and dual-use products, services and technologies. It is part of Rostec State Corporation. Rosoboronexport accounts for over 85 per cent of Russia’s exports of arms and military equipment. It cooperates with more than 700 Russian defence industrial enterprises and organisations.
