Fighting "Zhiguli": Russia came up with VAZ-2104 Bagi (photo)

Military observers noted that the appearance of unmodrated cars on the front, "like a powerful golf trolley," smells like frank madness. Vytaz, which is part of the Uralvagonzavod Concern (UVZ), provided a VAZ-2104 to the military, recycled to order to perform combat missions. As a result, the ancient "Zhiguli" began to resemble military Bagi with dubious running characteristics. On April 17, the press service of the UPZ announced the regular technical decision of Russian engineers.

"The car will come to the battalion, equipped with mobilized and volunteers from Ishbai and Ishbaysky district Bashkortostan. Earlier for the Motorized Rifle Regiment" Vityaz "modernized SUV" Niva " Troops similar to golf kari are part of a strategy approved in connection with significant losses of vehicles in the war. not for hostilities. numerous improvements to increase its strength, off -road capabilities and survival in hostile territories.

These improvements often contain modification of suspension, shock absorbers, tires and body. First of all, it is necessary to improve the suspension to a strong off -road version. Such modernization will allow the car to cope with relief irregularities and absorb strokes from obstacles. The increase in suspension height will also be useful as it provides additional clearance, protecting the car from possible damage from stones and debris.

It is also necessary to increase the maneuverability of the car in different areas, such as dirt, sand and stones - this immediately requires the transition from ordinary tires to the type used in the ATVs. They are usually larger and wider than usual, which significantly increases the road lumen and provides increased resistance. But the most important attribute of military transport is the armored body to protect against fire weapons and fragments.

In addition, to protect the passengers during tipping, the bottom of the car must be strengthened. It should be noted that the post of UVZ does not say all these necessary improvements. But based on the published photo, we can assume that the Soviet "Four" has passed the minimal "modernization". Earlier, we wrote about Russian armored vehicles, which falls into the hands of Ukrainian fighters.
