Russia is facing a serious shortage of vehicles, according to foreign media reports, there are more than 3,000 military vehicles in Russia's military equipment depot, of which more than 40% have been sent to the front line to participate in the war, resulting in a shortage of tanks and other military vehicles. To solve this problem, Putin ordered 1,570 scrapped, rusty tanks from abandoned sites in Siberia, repaired and remodeled, and transported to the war zone by military trains.
Russia's auto manufacturing industry has been sluggish, and the economic transformation caused by the collapse of the Soviet Union has taken a heavy toll and hit hard,** and has since fallen into a sustained recession. In 1995, automobile production fell to 1.01 million units. Entering the 21st century, Russia *** is still stagnant. It was not until 2002 that Russia realized the seriousness of the problem, formulated a strategy for the automobile industry, and introduced a new round of various support policies for the country. However, in 2009, due to the impact of the global financial crisis, the production of ** reached 720,000 units, and many automobile manufacturers such as the AvtoVAZ automobile factory had to stop production or reduce production, and the Russian domestic market was dominated by foreign brands. For example, in 2007, foreign brands accounted for 59% of all cars sold, foreign imports of used cars accounted for 14%, and the market share of domestic cars was only 27%. In 2015, the market share of Russian brands in the passenger car market was only 20%. At present, foreign car brands in the Russian domestic market are mainly Chinese brands.
This is true of both commercial and military vehicles in Russia, the Russian MAZ multi-axle heavy-duty missile launcher and the well-known MAZ and Belas heavy-duty trucks, both of which are produced in Belarus and do not belong to Russia. That is, in the field of multi-axle off-road missile vehicles, Russia has practically no of its own technology and relies on Belarus. Therefore, when faced with a vehicle crisis, Russia can only turn to China, which has supplied 1500 civilian all-terrain vehicles for this. According to Russian media, this is a desert off-road 1000-3 all-terrain vehicle, an all-terrain vehicle is a vehicle that can adapt to a variety of complex working environments, and is an all-weather, all-regional vehicle.
The Ukrainian battlefield has already descended into trench warfare, and the two sides are at a stalemate on the front. The line of contact and its depth are within the range of the opponent's artillery for tens of kilometers, plus in the summer Ukraine is full of mud, heavy vehicles are greatly limited in such an environment, and due to their slow speed, they are easy targets for attack. In this case, resupplying the front line, especially the front-line squads, requires more compact and flexible tools, and all-terrain off-road vehicles are ideal.
ATVs play an important role on the battlefield, and the importance of ATVs cannot be overemphasized in any way. They can quickly deliver ammunition and personnel to weak positions, quickly evacuate the wounded, bring stability to the troops deployed at the front. And military all-terrain vehicles, such as China's bobcat, can achieve rapid maneuvering even in the most alpine mountain environment, and can achieve amphibious maneuver, in short, the bobcat can drive on any terrain and can easily cross swamps, snow, mountain forests, ponds, streams and other harsh terrain. And the Bobcat can be equipped with a variety of different types of **, at the 2016 Zhuhai Air Show, there was a variety of different equipment ** deformation vehicles, whether it is a 120 mm light mortar, 81 mm rapid-fire mortar, or 23 mm chain gun, 107 mm rocket artillery, can be installed in the small body of the "Bobcat". What's even more powerful is that a set of 8 anti-tank missile launchers can be installed in the rear crew compartment of the "Lynx", and the firepower is very powerful.
The desert off-road 1000-3 all-terrain vehicle is a small all-terrain off-road vehicle of 4 4, and the Russian army purchases a large number of 2022 models, with a length of 335 meters, width 18 meters, with a 1000cc displacement 85 hp petrol engine, a maximum driving speed of 80 km/h, wading depth of up to 04 meters, the theoretical range is 250 km. There is also a cargo bed at the back of the car with a length of 23 meters, can load personnel or goods, the load capacity of 550 kg, the total weight of the whole car is 1600 kg, the cargo bucket also has a dump function, the practicality is very strong. The ** of this car in China is about 90,000, and it is about 150,000 sold to Russia, Russia has purchased 500 units in 2022, and now it has proposed to purchase 1,500 units, China has also agreed, and Putin has also given a special gift.
Russia said that in the future, the volume of Russian pipeline natural gas to China will reach 100 billion cubic meters per year.
