History

 

Tigr in service with the 604th Special Purpose Center of Internal troops.

 

Tigr-M with unfinished interior on the assembly line

The Tigr was first shown at the IDEX exhibition in 2001.^[3] Pilot production started in 2004 with 96 vehicles. The Russian Army officially adopted the GAZ-2975 into service at the end of 2006.^[4] The vehicle was then officially manufactured in 2007.^[4]

China co-produced the Tigr with Russia after it initially refused to grant them a full license.^[5] 110 Tigrs were delivered from 2008-2010 and are in service with the Chinese Public Security police.^[6] Some saw use publicly in the 2008 Beijing Olympics and in the 2009 Xinjiang riots.^[6][7]

Five Tigrs, fully assembled, were delivered with five more in kit form for assembly while 100 were assembled in China under Beijing Yanjing Motor Company.^[6][8] The contract was reported at the International Salon of Weapons and Military Equipment exhibition (MVSV-2008) in August 2008.^[9] Yanjing Motor-made vehicles are known as YJ2080C and YJ2081C, the differences are the engines installed and the weight.^[10]

During the 2010 Interpolitex exhibition, MIC presented the upgraded version of Tigr-the VPK-233114 Tigr-M-with a new YaMZ-534 diesel engine, additional armour and an NBC protection system. This new Tigr-M entered service with the Russian army during the first half of the 2013. Mass production and the export version have already been launched with a 205 hp engine.^[11][12]

Tigr armoured cars were reported to be among the AFV's deployed by Russia in the Crimean crisis.^[13]

In early March 2015, OSCE inspectors spotted "a camouflaged Tigr-type armoured personnel carrier" guarding a DPR Checkpoint, close to the village Shyrokyne east of Mariupol.^[14]

In 2011, "Rosoboronexport" has offered Azerbaijan to create a licensed production of armored vehicles on its territory.^[15][16]

Since 2015, Tigr vehicles are used by the Syrian Army in fight with opposition and extremist groups.^[17]

The Minsk Wheel Tractor Plant unveiled the Lis-PM (Fox-PM in English from Russian), a variant of the Tigr, in a public relations event on April 30, 2015.^[18] It's made from parts supplied from VPK-233136 Tigr kits.^[19] Parts made in Belarus are around 85 percent^{[citation needed]} with plans to have the Lis-PM made with all the components made in Belarus.^[20] The vehicle was previously seen at the 7th International Exhibition of Armament and Military Equipment or MILEX-2014 event.^[18] They were then shown on May 9, 2015 in a Belarusian military parade.^[18]

BYMC announced on November 8, 2016 that an unnamed country has purchased 177 YJ2080s, winning its first export order.^[21]

In January 2017, Tigr-Ms entered service with the Russian Army mounting the Arbalet-DM remote weapon station (RWS). It can hold a Kord 12.7 mm machine gun carrying 150 rounds of ammunition or a PKTM 7.62 mm machine gun carrying 250 rounds. The module has TV and thermal imaging cameras allowing target identification out to 2.5 km and 1.5 km respectively, an integral laser rangefinder, and the ability to lock on and track targets.^[22] In the same month, Corvus Slovakia received their rights to manufacture and sell the Tigr.^[23]

In 2018, Streit Group has the rights to manufacture the Tigr as the Falcon, which debuted at the AAD 2018 and EDEX 2018 defense conventions.

As of May 2020, Tigr has been exported to 16 states and since 2005 over 2,000 vehicles have been built in various configurations and delivered to Russia and foreign countries.^[24][25] In July 2023, Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu stated that the supplies of Tigr-M by Arzamas Machine-Building Plant had surged 2 times since early 2022.^[26]

During the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, the Tigr was heavily used by the Russian forces.^[1] Some Tigrs used by the Russians in Ukraine are equipped with the Arbalet-DM RWS.^[27] Ukrainian forces have been using captured Tigrs.^[28] As a result of fighting, a set of a new quickly-mounted armor was developed and combat-tested.^[29]

Design

The vehicle was designed to transport troops and various equipment quickly on road and off-road. It has a chassis frame construction, with a traditional layout of front engine, middle crew compartment, and rear cargo area. Standard features include: power steering, independent all-wheel torsion suspension with hydraulic shock absorbers and stabilizer bars, a transfer case with a locking center differential, limited slip differentials, two-speed transfer case, automatic tire inflation, engine block heater, and electric winch.

The GAZ-233001 has optional air conditioning, stereo, electric windows, and an anti-lock braking system.

Armored versions of the Tigr feature 5 mm (0.20 in) (7 mm (0.28 in) for the SPM-2) heat-treated and stress-relieved armor plates. The Tigr can carry a half ton of cargo.

The available engines are a Cummins 5.9 L (360 cu in) B180 turbodiesel with 180 hp (130 kW); a Cummins 5.9 L (360 cu in) B205 turbodiesel producing 180 hp (130 kW); a Cummins 5.9 L (360 cu in) B-214 turbodiesel making 215 hp (160 kW); or a GAZ-562 3.2 L (200 cu in) turbodiesel with 197 hp (147 kW).

Designed for performance in mountain, arctic, and desert environments, the Tigr is capable of operating at ambient temperatures ranging from −14–50 °C (7–122 °F). Moreover, the vehicle has approach and departure angles of 52 degrees and a wading depth of 1.2 m (3.9 ft).

"Project 420"

In early 2010, an improved Tigr armored vehicle with a 420-horsepower 5.9 litres (360.0 cu in) Cummins ISB and a Chrysler 545RFE automatic transmission was created. This engine/transmission combination was originally designed for a Dodge Ram pickup. Externally, the vehicle featured an additional air intake on the bonnet and enlarged brakes. Acceleration time to 100 km/h (62 mph) was reduced from 35 to 23 seconds compared to the standard version, and the top speed increased from 140 km/h (87 mph) to 160 km/h (99 mph).

Russia

 

VPK -3927 Volk with armored personnel carrier module

Further information: VPK-3927 Volk

In 2010, an international forum in Zhukovsky publicly presented three prototypes of a modular all-wheel drive family of vehicles, called the MIC-3927 Volk (the Russian word Volk (Волк) translates to Wolf). Like the Tigr, it was developed by the Military Industrial Company of Russia.

Th Volk is available as a 4×4 (MIC-3927) or 6×6 (MIC-39273) and has increased bulletproofing (Class 6A to GOST 50963-96) and mine protection (STANAG Level 2a/2b).
