INDRODUCTION VARIANTS DESIGN DEVELOPMENT ENGINE 3. INDRODUCTION
Manufactured in Russia, the DT-30 Vityaz is an articulating tracked
vehicle (ATV) designed to transport heavy loads in extremely
difficult off-road conditions such as swamps, sand and snow. In
addition to armed forces, the vehicle is also used for civilian
applications. 4. VARIANTS "The DT-30 Vityaz is an articulating
tracked vehicle (ATV) designed to transport heavy loads in
extremely difficult off-road conditions such as swamps, sand and
snow." The DT-30, with a single flat-bed cargo body, is the
original vehicle in the series. Due to its high load and bale
capacities, the vehicle could be used in unfriendly road and
climatic conditions. With a payload capacity of 10t, the DT-10P
Vityaz is a smaller articulated tracked carrier. The DT-10PM
Vezdesusciy is an improved version of the DT-10P. 5. DESIGN The
various segments of the DT-30 vehicle are held together by joints.
The payload capacity as well as the weight of the vehicle is 30t.
Seating for driver and four passengers is provided in a forward
control cab, which is fully enclosed. The power plant is arranged
in the first unit behind the cab, while the rear unit can be used
for storage. Large surface contact with the ground for better
stability is achieved by an unconventional pattern of four active
track envelopes. 6. DEVELOPMENT The state trials of DT-LP and DT-L
(the first atvs) were carried out in 1971 and the DT-10P, DT-20P
and DT-20 atvs entered in service in 1980. The first batch of the
dt-10p atvs, manufactured by ishimbai transport machine-building
plant (ishimbaitransmash), came out in 1982. Trials of the
twin-unit atvs dt-30p and dt-30 were completed in late 1981. An
intensive research and development programme for the creation of
twin-unit vityaz family compriseing the dt-10, dt-20 and dt-30
variants was completed by 1985. 7. ENGINE "The vehicle is powered
by a V-shaped, 12-cylinder multi-fuel diesel engine." The vehicle
is powered by a V-shaped, 12-cylinder multi- fuel diesel engine.
This four-stroke engine, generating 710HP, was developed from those
used on the T-64 main battle tank. A pre-heater facilitates the
start of the engine at temperatures as low as -50C. 8. REFERNCE
