Forcing water barriers even with the modern development of engineering technology is a very difficult task. The actions of the troops were to be facilitated by the Holder ferry support vehicle developed in the 80s by the Luganskteplovoz Design Bureau.
As the project "RG: Russian weapons" reported, this machine was made in a single copy, last year it was resuscitated by the servicemen of the People's Militia of the LPR. She was attracted to participate in the parade dedicated to the 76th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War.
To perform the necessary tasks, it was equipped with excavator and bulldozer equipment, a hydraulic monitor, a motor drill and a winch. A rotating turret with a 7.62 mm PKT machine gun (1000 rounds of ammunition) is mounted on the roof of the protected cabin.
The engine power is 710 hp. The maximum speed on the highway is 60 km / h, on rough terrain - up to 35 km / h. When forcing water barriers - up to 15 km / h. The fuel reserve is about 500 km. Weight - 37700 kg., crew - 3 people.
The MOS was created on the platform of the already outdated PTS-3 conveyor, currently there are much more advanced floating tracked vehicles in Russia.
