russia's amphibious lander

The ZUBR landing craft is intended to carry out beach landing of assault troops, as well as provide fire support. It can ferry three medium tanks or ten armored personnel carrier's or 360 troopers. The bow landing ramp provides rapid landing of armour and troops on shore. The high- temperature gas turbine engines drive four air-cushioned blowers and three air thrust propellers.

Wow. Thats pretty nice. It sure can carry a lot of stuff. 10 APCs or 3 tanks is very impressive. This means a couple of them could deploy a considerable force in one trip. 360 soldiers is definatly enough to do some serious damage. Combined with it's speed and covering fire makes this one heck of a lander. I can see Spetsnaz might like these thanks to it's speed, capacity, and firepower.

Not really that new...........

WOW never knew they are ARMED!

- four IGLA-1 AD Missile Systems
- two 30 mm AK-306 Gun Mounts
- two MLRS

and for safety - light armour plates

Wow! That is so neat! Why doesn't the US have one of those? We should totally go steal a couple.

How many does Mother Russia have anyhow?

As much as I am against stealing designs I think the Russians owe us something considering they stole our A-Bomb designs and one of our bombers. I don't think that we need to steal it though. We could probably design our own equivlent. I mean it's a lander, not a brand new bomber or something.

Yeah but why not take the origional? Do we really want a look alike? Besides, it's cheaper to steal it than to design and make it.

you dont have to steal any, because USA HAVE THEM

but i dunno if its any close to rus one

Sorry gave the wrong link I know the pictures right though I picked it up on a non english site.

It small compared to the Russian one only lifting a 100 tons cargo

I know the US has landers like the Russian one we all admire, the problem is Russias is better which is why I'm dying to get one. I have to admire the Russians for this design. So I wonder how much one costs.

o crap. ummm mr. president russia has an amphibious lander so does this count as an WMD cause if it does we can bomb them

Im not really sure sure But I think Greece is going to buy two of them. I would guess they cost somewhere between 10-20 million but dont quote me on that.

uhhh.... only if you want to be bombed back to ice age


while on google, i found this article:

RUSSIAN HOVERCRAFT FOR GREEK NAVY
"The first one has been launched in November and the delivery of two, commissioned at the price of 100 million dollars, is previewed within the mid 2001"


and these facts:

Military Lift
- three T-80B tanks, or
- ten BTR-70 armoured personnel carriers, or
- 140 assault troops with 130 tons of cargo

Weapons:
- Air defence guns and missiles
- Strela-3 portable air defence missile system
- 4 x 4 launchers plus 32 AP missiles
- 30 mm AK-630 Air Defence Gun Mount 2 x 6 with 6000 rounds
- 140mm Ogon launchers
- 2 x 22 with 132 rockets

100 million Titus I was way off on that one. I guess thats why a country buys a grand total of 2 of them.

Man I had no clue they cost that much.

Perhaps the engine cost 10-20 million

Oh, now Greece has some and we still don't. Great!

They are actualy working on a new landing craft called the heavy lift landing craft air cushioned it is capable of carrying two M1A1 abrams tanks or 10 light armored vehicles. Still the russian one is cooler maybe me and cyberdude78 could work on our own design of the russian one and make millions of dollars hah! Then somehow rule the world yah um chicken wings. LOL
