The Tigr (Russian: Тигр, lit. 'Tiger') is a Russian 4×4 multipurpose all-terrain infantry mobility vehicle manufactured by Military Industrial Company, first delivered to the Russian Army in 2006.

Primarily used by the Russian Armed Forces and Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs, it is also used by numerous other countries.

History

[edit]

The Tigr was first shown at the IDEX exhibition in 2001.[3] Pilot production started in 2004 with 96 vehicles. The Russian Army officially adopted the GAZ-2975 into service at the end of 2006.[4] The vehicle was then officially manufactured in 2007.[4]

China co-produced the Tigr with Russia after it initially refused to grant them a full license.[5] 110 Tigrs were delivered from 2008-2010 and are in service with the Chinese Public Security police.[6] Some saw use publicly in the 2008 Beijing Olympics and in the 2009 Xinjiang riots.[6][7]

Five Tigrs, fully assembled, were delivered with five more in kit form for assembly while 100 were assembled in China under Beijing Yanjing Motor Company.[6][8] The contract was reported at the International Salon of Weapons and Military Equipment exhibition (MVSV-2008) in August 2008.[9] Yanjing Motor-made vehicles are known as YJ2080C and YJ2081C, the differences are the engines installed and the weight.[10]

During the 2010 Interpolitex exhibition, MIC presented the upgraded version of Tigr-the VPK-233114 Tigr-M-with a new YaMZ-534 diesel engine, additional armour and an NBC protection system. This new Tigr-M entered service with the Russian army during the first half of the 2013. Mass production and the export version have already been launched with a 205 hp engine.[11][12]

Tigr armoured cars were reported to be among the AFV's deployed by Russia during its annexation of Crimea.[13]

In early March 2015, OSCE inspectors spotted "a camouflaged Tigr-type armoured personnel carrier" guarding a DPR Checkpoint, close to the village Shyrokyne east of Mariupol.[14]

In 2011, "Rosoboronexport" has offered Azerbaijan to create a licensed production of armored vehicles on its territory.[15][16]

Since 2015, Tigr vehicles are used by the Syrian Army in fight with opposition and extremist groups.[17]

The Minsk Wheel Tractor Plant unveiled the Lis-PM (Fox-PM in English from Russian), a variant of the Tigr, in a public relations event on April 30, 2015.[18] It's made from parts supplied from VPK-233136 Tigr kits.[19] Parts made in Belarus are around 85 percent[citation needed] with plans to have the Lis-PM made with all the components made in Belarus.[20] The vehicle was previously seen at the 7th International Exhibition of Armament and Military Equipment or MILEX-2014 event.[18] They were then shown on May 9, 2015 in a Belarusian military parade.[18]

BYMC announced on November 8, 2016 that an unnamed country has purchased 177 YJ2080s, winning its first export order.[21]

In January 2017, Tigr-Ms entered service with the Russian Army mounting the Arbalet-DM remote weapon station (RWS). It can hold a Kord 12.7 mm machine gun carrying 150 rounds of ammunition or a PKTM 7.62 mm machine gun carrying 250 rounds. The module has TV and thermal imaging cameras allowing target identification out to 2.5 km and 1.5 km respectively, an integral laser rangefinder, and the ability to lock on and track targets.[22] In the same month, Corvus Slovakia received their rights to manufacture and sell the Tigr.[23]

In 2018, Streit Group has the rights to manufacture the Tigr as the Falcon, which debuted at the AAD 2018 and EDEX 2018 defense conventions.

As of May 2020, Tigr has been exported to 16 states and since 2005 over 2,000 vehicles have been built in various configurations and delivered to Russia and foreign countries.[24][25] In July 2023, Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu stated that the supplies of Tigr-M by Arzamas Machine-Building Plant had surged 2 times since early 2022.[26]

During the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, the Tigr was heavily used by the Russian forces.[1] Some Tigrs used by the Russians in Ukraine are equipped with the Arbalet-DM RWS.[27] Ukrainian forces have been using captured Tigrs.[28] As a result of fighting, a set of a new quickly-mounted armor was developed and combat-tested.[29]

Design

[edit]

The vehicle was designed to transport troops and various equipment quickly on road and off-road. It has a chassis frame construction, with a traditional layout of front engine, middle crew compartment, and rear cargo area. Standard features include: power steering, independent all-wheel torsion suspension with hydraulic shock absorbers and stabilizer bars, a transfer case with a locking center differential, limited slip differentials, two-speed transfer case, automatic tire inflation, engine block heater, and electric winch.

The GAZ-233001 has optional air conditioning, stereo, electric windows, and an anti-lock braking system.

Armored versions of the Tigr feature 5 mm (0.20 in) (7 mm (0.28 in) for the SPM-2) heat-treated and stress-relieved armor plates. The Tigr can carry a half ton of cargo.

The available engines are a Cummins 5.9 L (360 cu in) B180 turbodiesel with 180 hp (130 kW); a Cummins 5.9 L (360 cu in) B205 turbodiesel producing 180 hp (130 kW); a Cummins 5.9 L (360 cu in) B-214 turbodiesel making 215 hp (160 kW); or a GAZ-562 3.2 L (200 cu in) turbodiesel with 197 hp (147 kW).

Designed for performance in mountain, arctic, and desert environments, the Tigr is capable of operating at ambient temperatures ranging from −14–50 °C (7–122 °F). Moreover, the vehicle has approach and departure angles of 52 degrees and a wading depth of 1.2 m (3.9 ft).

Lebanese Army Nimr II

After the refusal of the Arab company BJG to continue work on the project with the Russian company PKT,[74] each of the parties was left with a package of technical documentation; in addition, three prototypes of armored vehicles remained in Abu Dhabi, which after being exhibited at IDEX-2001 were tested in desert conditions. Soon in Al-Dulaila, Jordan, by order of the UAE General Staff, BJG and KADDB created a joint venture, Advanced Industries of Arabia (AIA, 80% of shares in BJG), at whose plant, starting in June 2005, the 500 Nimr armored vehicles in four different versions, including a 6x6 wheel arrangement with a load capacity of 5 tons. Compared to the prototypes, the new machines are equipped with an MTU 6R 106 engine with 325 hp. s., Allison LCT 1000 transmission and differ in armored body geometry and conventional spring wheel suspension. The base version Nimr cars were first demonstrated in 2005 at the IDEX-2005 exhibition, where BJG announced the signing of an agreement with the Indian Vectra Group to create a joint production of these cars in India (however, no production of Nimr cars has yet begun in India). In 2007, at the IDEX-2007 exhibition, AIA demonstrated the Nimr II family of machines,[75] developed on its own initiative, which is a further development of the basic version of the Nimr machine. Among the improvements were stated: all-round ballistic protection brought to level 3 B6 of the STANAG 4569 standard; basic mine protection against mine explosions weighing up to 6 kg; increased from 320 to 350 l. With. engine power; lifting capacity increased to 2.5 tons. Apart from the wheels, engine and gearbox, all components of the Nimr platform, including the driveline, chassis and armor, were designed and manufactured by BJG.[76]
