A unique hybrid of MT-LB and MT-12 "Rapira" was created by servicemen of the 59th separate motorized infantry brigade. They made a fearsome combat vehicle with a powerful artillery gun out of an all-terrain vehicle.
This car is also interesting in that it was assembled from captured equipment of Russian army in Ukraine.
“Our guys did all the design and construction work on their own. What proved once again: the soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine have not only warm hearts and unbending will, but also smart heads and golden hands,” informed press service of the 59th Motorized Rifle Brigade.
MT-LB is a Soviet multi-purpose tracked carrier designed to transport people and goods. Also widely used as an artillery tractor. Operated since 1964.
The MT-12 "Rapira" is a 100mm towed anti-tank gun built in the late 1960s. Allows to shoot direct fire and from closed positions. The maximum range of a "direct" shot is 2500 m, with mounted fire - 8200 m. Ammunition: armor-piercing sub-caliber, high-explosive fragmentation and cumulative.
