Thank you for your understanding.
Klamathian and Bisonic engineers have come up with a new wheeled 8x8 APC designated Veliky Okhotnik-100, or VO-100. Equipped with the best technology built in Dark Terror and Geforce4, the VO-100 will begin replacing BTR-94's in frontline Bisonic Army units. Several versions are available: VO-100, VO-100M Heavy APC, self-propelled 120mm mortar, air-defense armed with 8 Dart manportable SAMs.
Klamathian and Bisonic Designers have developed a new VO-100 wheeled armored personnel carrier (APC) which considerably outperforms world-renowned BTR-60PB, BTR-70 BTR-80, and BTR-90 carriers as well as similar foreign armored personnel carriers manufactured at present. The advantage of the VO-100 is especially noticeable in terms of the three main parameters:
- firepower;
- mobility, cross-country ability and agility;
- protection.
As is known, the APC armament comprises, as a rule, a 12.7 or 14.5mm large caliber machine gun and a coaxial 7.62mm machine gun. Of late, 25 or 30mm small caliber guns are installed instead of large caliber machine guns. The VO-100 has gone one step further with a 45mm chaingun as its rimary armament, with 14.5 and 7.62mm machine guns mounted coaxially.
The fighting compartment of the VO-100 mounts four types of weapons. These include the 45mm 2A77 automatic gun, the KPVT 14.5mm heavy machine gun, the 7.62mm PKT machine gun, the 30mm AGS-30 grenade launcher and the Yastreb antitank guided missile (ATGM) system.
The VO-100 is fitted with the "DeathClaw-5" Anti-Missile defense system made by Geforce4: the "DeathClaw" is something like a mine, there are 15 charges, mounted on a rotating post atop the turret and capable of showering both enemy ground troops and incoming missiles in a hail that could annihilate said missiles or ground troops. it is a fearsome close-up weapon when modified with shrapnel and explosives.
The fighting compartment is stabilized in two planes. It allows stationary and mobile fire, both day and night, at various targets (including tanks) at ranges in excess of 5,000 m.
A comfortable fighting compartment accommodates the gunner and the vehicle commander. To enhance the APC's firing capabilities, the vehicle commander is provided with an all-round view of the situation, which allows him to override the weapon control and engage the target, should the gunner fail to see it.
The fighting compartment also houses the BPKZ-42 day/night sight for the gunner and the 1P-13 day vision device and the radio set for the commander. At customer's request, the fighting compartment can be outfitted with a gunner's sight (type BPK-M) with a thermal module manufactured by SAT of France. In addition, the VO-100 features the 1A5GT fire control system, which includes millimeter wave radar.
In addition, a high load-carrying capacity (7 t) and a considerable inner volume (14 m3) of the VO-100 allow the installation of heavier weapon systems such as a fighting compartment of the BMP-3 ICV, a 120mm mortar, or air defense systems.
More stringent requirements were imposed on the VO-100 chassis in terms of mobility, cross-country ability and agility. High mobility is ensured by a powerful (530 hp) multifuel supercharged diesel engine, an automatic reversible hydraulic gearbox and independent suspension of all fully-driven wheels.
The new independent torsion-bar suspension of all wheels with transverse arms, which features a large stroke of the high-capacity telescopic hydraulic shock absorbers and wide-section shot-proof tires with a central air pressure regulation system, allows the vehicle to move with a speed of 100 km/h on roads and over 50 km/h on heavily broken terrain. The vehicle continues to move with up to four wheels completely damaged.
The VO-100 uses new original transmission. The engine power is devided in the hydraulic gearbox via the differential mechanism into two parallel flows along the vehicle sides. The hydrostatic transmission provides different rotational speeds at the sides, thereby reducing the vehicle's turning radius twofold as compared to the turn ensured by four front steering wheels. The small turning radius plus the capability to move forward and backward with equal speeds due to the reversible gearbox, considerably increase the vehicle's agility.
Despite a relatively heavy weight (about 21 t), the vehicle can cross water obstacles without preliminary preparation owing to the installation of two hydrojets. The vehicle can swim in sea state 3 and confidently climb a landing ship and leave it.
The vehicle can be shipped by rail, air, motor and water transport.
The VO-100 is the first armored personnel carrier to be outfitted with an onboard computer controlled information and control system, which allows effective automated control of the transmission and the engine, as well as testing and diagnostics of the vital systems.
The APC mounts a collective protection system of the combat crew (10 men) against the effect of a blast wave and penetrating radiation of nuclear explosions, radioactive dust, bacteriological materials and chemical agents during operation of the vehicle on contaminated terrain. Besides, the combat crew is reliably protected from large caliber machine gun bullets and shell splinters. To enhance protective properties, provision is made for the installation of additional armor plating as well as systems of passive (explosive reactive armor) and active protection.
The VO-100 is provided with an air conditioner.
The vehicle's high mobility and agility enhanced by its high firing capabilities and comfortable accommodation of the crew and infantrymen make the VO-100 indispensable for the accomplishment of modern combat missions.
