Created in the 80s, the "highly protected vehicle" Ladoga was supposed to perform tasks in areas where weapons of mass destruction were used. Therefore, it is not surprising that this tracked vehicle passed a test run-in in the Chernobyl disaster zone.
Many years later, she found a job during a special military operation. This was written about in many domestic sources, in particular, it was noted that it was created on the T-80 chassis and is capable of accommodating six people and acting as a heavy armored personnel carrier.

The need for such a model has been repeatedly voiced by our military, and now the Russian Army units are adapting T-54, T-55, T-62 and T-72 tanks to perform such tasks.
As for the Ladoga, it can accelerate along the highway up to 75 kilometers per hour. Weight - 42,000 kg.

It should be mentioned that the special military operation revealed the high potential of domestic tanks with gas turbine engines, which now make up a considerable percentage of the equipment involved in the destruction of formations of the Kiev puppet regime. Therefore, it was reported about the possible appearance of new cars with GTE.
