Special armored vehicle SBA-60K2 Bulat, designed as personnel or weapons/equipment carrier, will be featured at the Zaschita Corporation stand at Russia Arms EXPO 2013 (RAE 2013), the IX International Exhibition of Arms, Military Equipment, and Ammunition.

The SBA-60K2 Bulat, based on Russian-made KAMAZ military truck chassis, has increased cargo capacity and better performance on and off road, along with bullet and landmine armor (up to class 6 according to GOST R 50963-96 standard). The vehicle is fitted with bulletproof glazing with built-in firing ports. Inside, the vehicle can be lined to protect its occupants from spall and ricochets. A seven-ton winch is mounted in the front part of the vehicle.

The SBA-60K2 Bulat can be operated in all climates and on all terrains. Its total seating capacity is 10 people: 2 crew and 8 troopers. Its console-mounted seats with built-in shock absorbers help mitigate the effect of explosion on its occupants. The vehicle is fitted with a HVAC system that can be complemented with an optional filtering unit to ensure maximum comfort for the crew.

Founded in 1993, Zaschita Corporation specializes in design and research of new prototypes for law enforcement and the military as well as for civilian customers. Its vehicles have high performance and protection characteristics, which ensures their advantage over Russian and international competition.

On Land and At Sea

At Russia Arms EXPO 2013 (RAE 2013), the IX International Exhibition of Arms, Military Equipment, and Ammunition, Russia's Mechanical Engineering Research Institute (NIMI) will present its lineup of munitions for tank, antitank, field, and naval artillery.

The oldest manufacturers of this type of munitions in Russia, NIMI will showcase on its stands full-scale mock-ups of 3VBM17, 3VBK16, 3OF36 rounds for 125mm tank guns with armor-piercing, high-explosive, and HEAT projectiles. Also on show will be full-scale mock-ups of 152mm HE shells for 2A65 Msta-B and 2S19 Msta-S howitzers.

For naval artillery, NIMI is bringing 76mm, 100mm, and 130mm rounds in various versions (HE, anti-aircraft, and radio-fused projectiles), capable of destroying ground and naval targets. A full-scale mock-up of a 100mm shell for BMP-3 infantry fighting vehicle will surely enjoy special interest of visitors.

The history of NIMI dates back to 1932. The Institute's developments played an extremely important role during World War II; for example, it was NIMI that developed the technologies required for mass production of rockets for the famous
Katyusha multiple rocket launchers.

The Institute has been exporting its products since as early as 1937. Most Soviet- and Russian-made ammunitions in the world have been developed in NIMI. Today, NIMI's specialists are working on new generations of conventional and guided projectiles as well as a number of civilian products including oil transportation equipment.
