The Rida company from Nizhny Novgorod has been engaged in the production of armored vehicles for a long time. The most famous model is the Buran armored car,
As officials assure, the car protected by armor is needed for work trips to the border areas. In addition to the governor, officials from the regional administration, doctors and employees of the Ministry of Emergency Situations should go there – all of them will also be able to use the governor’s Buran.
As for the armored car itself, the car has a modular construction: any extensions can be installed on one chassis. In particular, the Belgorod authorities opted for a purely passenger version for the transport of ten people.
We add that the car is equipped with a forced YaMZ-536 engine, which produces 210 forces instead of the standard 149. But what kind of gearbox it is is unknown, since Rida offers both mechanical and automatic options.
From the cargo donor, the armored model took not only the power unit, but also the frame structure, four-wheel drive system and leaf-spring suspension, which, however, had to be further strengthened with springs.
By the way, Buran was shown to the general public last year at the army forum, where, in addition, the Strela SUV was illuminated. It was clear that the car was built quickly, but the idea itself seemed very interesting! After all, the authors have custom-made a civilian all-terrain vehicle for the Gazelle units. However, after the exhibition, there was no more news about this project … The AvtoVzglyad portal not only found out about the serial prospects of this car, but also conducted a test drive of a spectacular domestic all-terrain vehicle.
