1/35 Russian K-4386 Typhoon-VDV Armoured Vehicle

The Russian Airborne Forces or VDV (from Vozdushno-desantnye voyska Rossii, who wear blue-and-white striped shirts, camouflage uniforms and blue berets, own heavy airborne equipment like airborne fighting vehicles and self-propelled guns. They outgun the light airborne forces of other countries. As early as 1980, the Soviet military started to seek a special armoured vehicle which could be used in operations by special forces. In 2010, Russia restarted this project and named it Typhoon. A number of well-known Russian automobile manufacturers were involved in the Typhoon project. Among them, Kamaz developed a light four-wheeled armoured vehicle for the VDV, the K-4386 Typhoon-VDV. The K-4386 has an EPOCH remote controlled weapon station equipped with a 30mm 2A42 autocannon, which makes its firepower stand out from its counterparts. This vehicle's hull is made with composite ceramic and steel armour. Its height adjustable suspension can be used to adjust its ground clearance. There's no doubt that this fast and lethal light armoured vehicle will become another powerful weapon of the VDV.
