The BTR-80 was created in the early 1980s as a further development of the BTR-70 armored personnel carrier, taking into account the shortcomings of the latter identified in the Afghan war, and was intended to replace it in motorized rifle troops. The BTR-80 entered mass production in 1984, and, repeatedly upgrading. Recent modifications of the BTR-80, equipped with reinforced weapons, are classified by many specialists as wheeled infantry fighting vehicles. It was used by Soviet troops in the Afghan war, and since the 1990s it has been the main armored personnel carrier of the Armed Forces of Russia and a number of other former Soviet republics and has been used in almost all major armed conflicts in the post-Soviet space. In total, the BTR-80 is currently in service with approximately 26 states. BTR-80A modification with armament of 30-mm automatic 2A72 gun and 7.62-mm PKT machine gun installed in the new gun assembly tower.

The BTR-90 Rostok (GAZ-5923) Combat wheeled amphibious armored vehicle equipped for use in motorized rifle units of ground forces. The BTR-90 was first introduced to the public in 1994. The developer is Gorky Automobile Plant OJSC, the manufacturer is declared OJSC Arzamas Machine-Building Plant . Tests of an armored personnel carrier were completed in 2004.

The BTR-90 is equipped with an automatic hydromechanical reverse gearbox, independent suspension of all wheels with all-wheel drive. Armor, compared with the BTR-80, has been significantly enhanced. Significantly improved mine protection, in particular, the bottom of the machine has a V-shaped - more resistant to the effects of a shock wave than the traditional flat.

The fighting compartment is stabilized in two planes. This allows you to fire in motion over rough terrain. Despite the fact that the BTR-90 is heavier and larger than the BTR-80, it is much more maneuverable than its predecessors. So, the car can turn in place - this is possible due to the rotation of the wheels of different sides in opposite directions (like a tank).

GAZ 39371 "Vodnik" Designed to transport personnel of army units, as well as to create on their base special army vehicles, both combat and maintenance vehicles. Able to move quickly on roads and on impassable terrain for distances up to 1000 km without additional refueling, carry weapons from light infantry to 120 mm mortar, transport a crew of 10 people (motorized infantry unit). To protect the crew worked out several options for booking a car. The design is based on the modular scheme of building a car.

The welded body has two removable modules - front and rear. The volume bounded by the front module includes a power compartment and a control compartment separated by a hermetic partition. The rear module is a useful volume that can be used for transporting people and goods, installing weapons, special equipment and mobile installations. The main advantage of the car is that due to the quick disconnect connection of the rear module and the housing support flange, it is possible to quickly replace various modules on one vehicle even in the field. This design significantly increases the life of the combat vehicle.

The machines of the family are widely used waste units and aggregates of the BTR-80. Chassis has high reliability provides unique cross-country maneuverability and sufficient smoothness. The car has a displacement hull, which allows it to overcome water obstacles not only ford, but also afloat due to the wheel propulsion. It is designed to operate at ambient temperatures from -45 to +50 ° C; with a relative humidity of up to 98%, in high-altitude areas with a height above sea level up to 4500 m and with the possibility of overcoming passes with a height of up to 4650 m.

Vodnik cars combine the qualities of an all-terrain vehicle and a high-speed maneuverable car. This allows in a short time to transport armed formations over long distances and makes it possible on the move to engage in hostilities. Due to the high power density the car can reach a maximum speed on the highway from 112 to 130 km / h, depending on the installed engine. Independent suspension, large radius of the wheels and high ground clearance provide him with the ability to move at high speeds in conditions of complete off-road. These qualities make the car indispensable for rapid response units, conducting reconnaissance-sentinel and sabotage operations.

In addition to the production of military products, the company constantly seeks to develop new civilian markets, using technical potential and intellectual experience accumulated over the years. At different times, the company manufactured hulls for wheeled all-terrain vehicles based on the main armored personnel carrier BTR-80, as well as a variety of armored cars for banking and law enforcement agencies, providing the 4th class of protection of the crew and cargo.
