Iran reveals Shahram NBRC

[Henry ME 95]

Iranian defense industry presents its latest technology of NRBC (nuclear, radiological, biological and chemical) vehicle with its new home-made "Shahram" mobile nuclear detection lab Wednesday, April 13, 2016, during a ceremony on the occasion of the Army Day, attended by the Ground Force Commander Brigadier General Ahmad Reza Pourdastan.

New Iranian-made "Shahram" NRBC (nuclear, radiological, biological and chemical) vehicle

The Shahram is based on the Soviet-made BTR-60PB 8x8 armoured vehicle personnel carrier, but with some modifications as the single door on the left side of the hull.

There is no turret, and the roof of the hull is fitted with a wide range of detection and optics as a camera mounted on a mast. On each side at the front of the hull, there is a bank of four smoke grenade dischargers.

For its self-protection the Shahram is equipped with a remote weapon station located at the front top of the crew compartment armed with a 7.62mm machine gun.

The hull of the BTR-60P is of all-welded steel armour with the driver and commander seated at the front of the hull, the open-topped personnel compartment behind them and the engine compartment at the very rear of the hull.


The driver sits on the left with the vehicle commander to his right. Both have a windscreen in front of them which, when in action, is covered by a flap hinged at the top.

The BTR-60PB is motorized with two GAZ-49B 6-cylinder in-line water-cooled petrol engine developing 90 hp. at 3,400 rpm coupled to a manual transmission with 4 forward and 1 reverse gears. The BTR-60PB can run at a maximum road speed of 80 km/h with a maximum road range of 500 km.

only 90 HP? This is not correct.

it does seem under-powered... anyone have the real specs?
army recognition isn't a bad source though

 

[VEVAK]

90HP sad rahmat beh sad o beesto panch e khodemoon!

only 90 HP? This is not correct.

It has 2 90 hp engines, so total of 180 hp.

That's embarrassing

2016 Toyota Camry XLE V6 Sedan
Mid-size car
Model: 2016 Toyota Camry
MSRP: $31,370
MPG: 21 city / 31 highway
Horsepower: 268 hp @ 6,200 rpm
Engine: 3.5 L V6
Curb weight: 3,460 lbs
Fuel tank capacity: 17 gal
Wheelbase: 109.3″

A V6 Camry has 268 hp!!!

Russian BTR 90 has 510 hp

so what is ours made out of plastic?

Military vehicles don't need hp, they need torque. Torque is what moves heavier objects, hp moves them quicker.

I can't find the torque figures for these engines but I'll just say - the BTR 90 weighs twice as much as the BTR 60, of course it will be more powerful.

As I said is our made out of plastic?

It take 500 HP to move the BTR-90 to about the same speed so our has to be made out of plastic to only require 180hp!
specially with all those equipment they added

Actually the BTR-90 is 25% faster than the BTR-60. It also has a 30 mm gun and a grenade launcher, while the -60 only has a 14.5 mm gun. The BTR-90 might have better armour, but the -60 definitely isn't too weakly armoured in comparison, seeing as it has less equipment and speed.

 

[jammersat]

only 90 HP? This is not correct.

perhaps it's designed for city riots

 

[Penguin]

only 90 HP? This is not correct.

Two engines, 90 hp each. Total hp = 180

The same engine also powered the contemporary (1955-57 entry into service) BRDM-1, but just a single engine. Likewise in the BTR-40.

BRDM-1

BTR-40

BTR-60

BTR-60 powerpack

 

[Penguin]

The BTR-70 has similar arrangement, but with bigger engines. Initially 2x 115 hp GAZ-69B 6-cylinder engine, but most vehicles two ZMZ-49-05 V-8 petrol engines (see below)
With the BTR-70, one engine powers the 1st and 3rd wheels on both sides and the other engine powers the 2nd and 4th wheels on both sides, so should one engine break down, the vehicle could make it to safety under limited speed, unlike the BTR-60.

The BTR-80 is the first in this series of 8x8s to have a single diesel engine: KamAZ-7403 (260 hp)

 

[-SINAN-]

only 90 HP? This is not correct.

I think so too....

For comparison....

FNSS 8x8 PARS has two engine options Deutz 500 HP or Caterpillar 600 HP.

 

[Arminkh]

It has 2 90 hp engines, so total of 180 hp.

Still too low, a very normal sedan has more than 200 HP power these days.

An APC does not need to travel faster than 80 km/h. Its not a normal car.
