Plectos is an armored car that looks like a hero from a science fiction movie, but works for special forces. The media called this car the Batmobile and the Moon Rover. Plectus is a special armored vehicle of the Special Purpose Center of the FSB of Russia. Its silhouette is so unusual that it immediately catches your eye, but behind the futuristic design there is serious combat logic. The name refers to the curved Celtic sword blade and the image matches - aggressive, collected, ready to strike. It all started with a model on Zeal, which was nicknamed Klopp due to its characteristic shape, and the project itself went under the name Manish. Designers Sviatoslav Sakhkian and Andrey Chirkov worked on the form; It was their approach that determined the very familiar geometry. In 2012, the first sample appeared, and after testing, the machine went into small-scale production. Vehicle type approval in 2016 allowed the production of up to 100 units, but they are produced individually and only by special order. What's inside and under the armor:

Vehicle type approval in 2016 allowed the production of up to 100 units, but they are produced individually and only by special order. What's inside and under the armor:

A chassis based on the extreme rally Kamaz-4911, the same one that storms the Dakar. The suspension was seriously strengthened at each wheel with a pair of hydraulic shock absorbers to withstand the impact and the weight of the armor.

Turbodiesel engine with a power of about 730-830 hp. with.

ZF 12-speed robotic gearbox.

Weight about 15.4 tons, dimensions are about 6.5 m length and 2.5 m height.

Speed ​​160 km/h, in tests accelerated to 200 km/h.

The soldiers compartment can accommodate up to 10 soldiers. The design is thought out down to the details: - Sloped body panels not only look impressive, they reflect bullets better.

- Reducing the wedge-shaped bottom and bottom reduce the risks of detonating mines.

- The soldiers sit in the center facing the sides and stern, this gives visibility all around and the ability to shoot through the loopholes.

- The automatic tire inflation system allows you to drive even with severe damage.

- Explosion-proof seats and protected fastening of armor plates are another layer of security.
