An all -terrain vehicle is sold in Irkutsk, who could replace UAZ in the army

On the classifides, the Skorpion-2M prototype was discovered. We are talking about the now forgotten project of the transfer of the Russian army to modern all-terrain vehicles, which were supposed to replace the UAZ-469 and UAZ-3151. In the second half of the 2000s, with the Minister of Defense A. Serdyukov, a whole line of light assault vehicles with armor protection and without it was developed.

The defense corporation first took the UAZ chassis, but gradually moved to its own platform with an independent front suspension in the spirit of the Ford F-Series of the early 1990s. The handout was made on the basis of the decisions of the GAZ Group, the Andoria diesel (2.6 liters, 136 hp, 280 nm) was purchased in Poland, and the mechanical gearbox was borrowed from the supplier of the UAZ, the Korean company Dymos. In a word, there were enough imported components.

A car from Irkutsk without armor, with a full package of documents, including TCP and STS. It was released in 2013, but on the odometer only 18.7 thousand kilometers. There are typical “chips” for military vehicles like a lightning, and shops are installed along the sides without seat belts. To match the appearance: protective color, steel bumpers, behind the bracket for the spurt, in front of Kangurin.

They want to help out 3.9 million rubles for an experimental all -terrain vehicle, but bargaining is appropriate. It is curious that the first registration in the traffic police was dated 2024, and since then the Scorpio has had two owners. Probably, for 11 years, the SUV was in the status of a prototype.
