The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation is used on the front line "Volk": how effective the armored vehicle is (photo)

According to the "Sniper+" channel, this APC was surprised to be surprised by Ukrainian fighters-the car allegedly withstanding several FPV-ducts, as well as Javelin PTRC. The author of the publication writes that a fierce battle was struck near Nelipivka, in which Ukrainian fighters repelled the attack of the enemy who used an armored car to plant a landing.

As a result of combat collision, the enemy lost about 40 fighters, but in the battle "Wolf" proved to be a fairly effective means of transportation. "The Russian Wolf car surprised, which withstood 6 FPV, and after the hit of Javelin, only the driver was killed, the landing was almost all survived. He landed at retreats and was completed by discharges," the statement said.

Meanwhile, users in the comments asked a fair question - how did this armored vehicle withstand so many hits by various means of damage? The fact is that according to the information of the profile Russian resources, "Wolf" is not intended in principle "to solve serious combat tasks in the army offensive units. " Currently, four versions of this armored vehicle have been created: it is noted that one of the main design features of the Wolf is its reservation.

The armor of the machine is reinforced in vulnerable places, with the possibility of installing additional composite hinged armor plates in the field. Multilayered armor can withstand a 7. 62 mm ball at a distance of up to 300 meters and protects the crew and staff from all kinds of small arms, as well as fragments of mines and shells. In addition, the armored car has a V-shaped bottom designed to increase protection against explosions.

However, the body of the armored vehicle differs from the predecessor-the armored vehicle GAZ-2330 "Tiger"-its modular performance and has the third level of armored protection in accordance with Stanag 4569. It is stated that "Wolf" is able to withstand up to 4 kg of explosive The blast of 122 mm of a fugas projectile. However, this figure can be skeptical, given the weight of the armored car - about 7 tons.

Also, all the Wolf family machines are equipped with a high -strength bug glass of 68 mm thick, which can withstand the hit of automatic weapons. Despite all the technical achievements, the Russian observers themselves write, the "wolf" is not intended to perform serious combat missions. The light armor makes it vulnerable on the battlefield, especially in the conditions of reflection of attacks from the ambush.

For example, when hit in vulnerable places, such as the fuel tank, an armored car can be an object of slight damage. Thus, a wolf is an armored car that is more suitable for solving internal conflicts, eliminating mass riots or use in law enforcement operations than for effective fighting on the front line.
