Luxury armored car
If you doubted the existence of these luxury armored cars, you can be sure: they exist. These include the T-98 “Combat” model, an armored SUV developed in Russia and intended for the transportation of VIPs, including in a combat zone. The car was designed in St. Petersburg by the design office of Dmitry Parfenov in close cooperation with Avtokad, which has extensive experience in booking cars. To date, the T-98 "Combat" is one of the fastest armored SUVs in the world. A manufacturing company can provide a car reservation from the level of protection B2 to the highest B7 + (protection against bullets of caliber up to 12,7 mm inclusive, including those produced from large-caliber machine guns, sniper weapons or anti-gun)!
Avtokad LLC has been designing and producing armored cars for more than 10 years, and Dmitry Parfenov’s design bureau has been involved in the development of promising cars since the end of 1980, the beginning of 1990. In 1991, this design bureau was one of the first in the country, which developed samples of promising armored vehicles: collector and VIP-class. In addition, the company provided booking services for the customer’s cars, including the executive class, using its own production facilities located in the Kirovsky plant in St. Petersburg.
One of the most famous developments of the company was a special-purpose vehicle, called the “Combat”, designed by Dmitry Parfenov Design Bureau and built using a large number of foreign components. The car combines the advantages of an all-wheel drive jeep with the comfort of a limousine and "tank armor. " Off-road qualities of this car are ensured by the use of reliable and high-quality components and assemblies of General Motors. At the time of creation (the beginning of the 2000s), the car used the latest achievements of the automotive industry. The comfort of the driver and passengers is achieved through the use of only high-quality finishing materials and modern electronics imported. Bulletproof glass for the car is supplied by the factory from the city of Gus-Khrustalny. Initially, Kombat was produced in St. Petersburg, but in 2009 the production was moved to Estonia, small-scale assembly is carried out in the village of Loo near Tallinn.
The front panel and SUV devices also inherited from General Motors, for this reason, the T-98 meets the requirements of service and diagnostics in the GM dealer network in Russia. In the case of using an individual interior, which is not particularly difficult to design, customers who bought a car could have difficulties with service and maintenance. And so, the client is able to carry out all the necessary maintenance operations for his car at any available General Motors station.
The special pride of the company "AutoCAD" is an armored car body. It is made of high-alloy steel of Swedish production, the car body is extremely durable. Shell T-98 "Combat" double (case in the case). It is created using a special technology and is a metal-ceramic honeycomb sandwich. The technology used provides the car with a level of protection that exceeds the level of protection of modern civilian armored vehicles. The above-mentioned qualities of the car, which are well combined with its brutal appearance and truly “masculine” design, make this SUV not only a reliable and safe means of transportation, but also a real business card of the owner, his distinctive feature. It is worth noting that the unusual appearance of the car was liked by the representatives of the film industry. Kombat cars were shot in both Russian and American films.
Special car T-98 "Combat" is presented in two basic versions: 5-seat sedan and 9 (12) local station wagon, which differ in overall dimensions and weight. The body of an SUV is an all-metal construction of high-alloy steel, it is made according to a frameless pattern. This solution provides the maximum strength parameters of the body and the design of the entire vehicle as a whole, according to the manufacturer's website. Chassis "Combat" was built using components and assemblies of the American company General Motors. For example, used steering, front and rear suspension, engine with transmission manufactured by GM, similar equipment is used on low-tonnage C / K series trucks and heavy off-road Suburban 2500 heavy vehicles manufactured by General Motors. In addition, a similar transmission and engine can be found on the famous American SUV «Hammer».
It is very difficult to do without comparisons with the famous “Hummer”, but the H1 version, in fact, is just the result of a rework for a civilian vehicle of a standard army all-terrain vehicle HMMWV. Whereas the T-98 was originally designed by designers as an armored vehicle of a luxury all-terrain vehicle. That is why it is incorrect to call the “Combat” Russian “Hummer”. The civilian version of the army Tiger SUV is much better suited to the role of the Russian “Hammer”.
Appointment of the car gives already a cursory visual inspection. The massive front bumper is clearly hinting at the impressive Combat potential of the Combat. To reduce the area of the affected surfaces, the front window of the SUV consists of three elements. Front optics are deeply recessed enough, which immediately gives an idea of the thickness of the armored body panels made from high-quality Swedish steel. Also eloquently, the absence of the left passenger door is a tribute to security. This is done in order to limit access to the cabin to the VIP-person protected unwanted items. Thus, the car in the sedan has only three doors (two right and one left), on the model in the station wagon two more doors to the cargo hold are added to them. Also available are standard versions with two right and two left doors.
As they say in winged terms, the steeper the jeep, the farther behind the tractor. And really cool the car T-98 does not hold. However, firstly, this car is not formally considered a jeep, the car is available in two body styles - sedan and station wagon. And secondly, if this car can be planted on the roads, not every tractor can help. The curb weight of the sedan body with the maximum level of protection is 4350 kg, in the station wagon - 4550 kg. And it is really possible to plant a car on the roads, a permanent four-wheel drive, a huge ground clearance - 315 mm and special off-road tires - not a panacea. If you decide to test the quality of the car off-road, it is better to determine the route beforehand and do not stop, digging in with such a curb weight of the car is not difficult, but to pull out the stuck car will be a difficult task.
The SUV is delivered to customers with two main types of V8 engines: GM-Vortec 8,1L horsepower 400. at 4200 revolutions per minute and a Duramax turbodiesel with a volume of 6,6 liters and 320 horsepower. at 3100 rpm. These motors are enough to accelerate a multi-ton car up to the speed of 180 km / h, although the cruising speed of the car is quite within the limitations in force in Russia. At the same time, an armored vehicle accelerates to 100 km / h in 10 seconds. Fuel consumption ranges from 20 to 25 liters per 100 kilometers.
The car is quite attractive in appearance, the chopped body design, the high seating position of the driver and the presence of all-round cameras help to feel better the car’s powerful dimensions. As noted by the people who drove the “Combat”, the armored car is controlled slightly worse than any of the heavy American trucks. The cruising speed of the car on our roads is up to 120 km / h. You can accelerate faster (even to 180 km / h), but it is hardly worth doing it. Soft acceleration and smooth braking - the car ultimately dictates only a similar driving style. At the same time the width of more than two meters to the car only on hand The SUV is incredibly stable and, most importantly, the car is not prone to overturning, unlike the same armored Gelandewagen.
According to the assurances of the manufacturer, there are various options for execution in terms of booking, for example:
Light armored class B2 / B3, Рro - provides protection against all types of small arms (TT pistols, Makarov, submachine guns such as Uzi). The thickness of the bronestali 1-3 mm, the thickness of the glazing 14,5-20 mm.
Class B6, HI.Pro (base) - provides protection against automatic and sniper weapons of caliber up to 7,62-mm, including 7,62-mm AK bullets, 7,62-mm rifle SVD rifle, 5,56-mm NATO bullet M16 rifle. The thickness of the bronestali 6,5 + 3 mm, the thickness of the glazing - 44 mm. Protection of the floor from the explosion of TNT (200 in grams equivalent), from F-1 grenades, WGD-5.
Class B7 +, HI.Pro.S (special design) - provides protection against 7,62-mm armor-piercing bullets of the SVD rifle, as well as NATO rifles of the same caliber, all types of automatic weapons of the caliber 7,62-mm. The car is equipped with dual energy-absorbing floor protection with a honeycomb filling, the thickness of the energy-absorbing sandwich reaches 200 mm. This protects the driver and passengers from the blasting of an explosive device with a mass of 500 grams of TNT. The thickness of the bronestali 6,5 + 4,5 mm, the thickness of the glazing - 56 mm (lightweight) or 70 mm.
In addition, a special STANAG NATO L3 / 4 protection class is available, which provides protection against 12,7 mm caliber bullets, including the DShK machine gun or anti-tank gun. Reservations increased to 6,5-mm steel + ceramic filling + 6,5-mm steel. Glazing - 70 mm (or 100 mm). The floor of the machine is double energy absorbing, the door panels are also made double with energy absorption.
The car "Kombat" is produced in two basic configurations "Patrol car" and VIP. The main differences are in the use of different materials, finishes, systems and electrical equipment. In the VIP package, only natural materials are used in the interior trim: leather, wood, a full power package is available, an audio system is installed and a special high-quality body painting is performed. In the VIP version, second-row seats with extra space for legs of passengers are used. Additionally, it is possible to install navigation devices, outdoor cameras, a telephone, a computer, and various multimedia equipment on the machine.
