the engine...is from Chevrolet of the 80, It might has carburetor or throttle body injection....hahaha!! Russians can't design their own eengine..

@nolicustodio

Kombat Armouring is primarily an armoured vehicle builder, not strictly a carmaker; powerpack outsourcing is commonplace in this kind of industry regardless of country of origin. What you call "80s engine" still propels this vehicle to a topspeed of 180 km/h and it still is the fastest all-terrain armoured vehicle in current production.

@nolicustodio

Russians design some of the most formidable engines out there for their military vehicles, from tanks to ballistic missiles carriers. An armour company's choice to go with foreign-sourced engines; especially a private company, do not have any bearing on Russian engine-making capabilities.

почему-то дизайн этого авто напомнил мне Lamborghini lm 002 и тут наши преуспели.

Почему карбюратор а не дизель вить дизеля выносливей и мощнее и не так прихотлив в погодных условиях

@nolicustodio Что ты ржёшь?Русские Т34 вошли в Берлин,А американские Шерманы горели как свечки,да в Арденах застряли..и помёрзли.

@nolicustodio

Карбюратор говоришь? Это потому что инжекторы после электромагнитной бомбежки неспособны работать. Это вам не аборигенов демократизировать. Вся армия США сейчас подвязана на блага электроники, а ведь сильная сторона может стать слабостью.
