Serbia’s Yugoimport Markets Lazar-3 AFV

: May 23, 2018 - : 3:48 pm

Serbian state-owned defence company Yugoimport is marketing the capabilities of its new Lazar-3 multi- role armoured 8×8 wheeled vehicle at the ongoing KADEX 2018.

 

Lazar 3 has highly sophisticated, modular ballistic protection. The hull is made of armoured steel and can be fitted with a spall liner. The applied ballistic protection can be tailored to the specific needs of the user and allows for application of additional state-of-the- art ballistic protection technologies throughout the vehicle service life. The vehicle floor has two levels of anti-mine protection.

“The number of the crew depends on the type of a mission and the weapons used in the vehicle. When the vehicle is equipped with the remote-control weapon station (RCWS), the vehicle should be manned with 12 troops (commander, driver, gunner + 9 soldiers), while the version with a turret would be manned with one soldier less,” says an official.

 

The Lazar-3 RCWS can be armed with one 30mm M86 automatic cannon or one 7.62mm M86 co-axial machine gun or one anti-tank guided missile (ATGM) for protection against light armoured vehicles, military installations and low-flying air targets.

 

The driver’s and commander’s space is located in the front of the vehicle. The vehicle has two side doors for the entrance/exit of the driver and the commander. Both the driver and the commander have hatches above their seats. The driver’s hatch has a three-position lock, one position being designed for locking the cover while driving with the open hatch. The driver and the commander have each three periscopes available for their use in the vehicle. The driver’s seat is ergonomic and adjustable in vertical and horizontal planes. The steering column is also adjustable in height and steering angle. The power train, designed for various applications and missions, is accommodated in the front right-side of the vehicle in a protected space completely separated from the crew. The central transfer case transmits the torque to all wheels that have independent suspension and provide for the vehicle’s high mobility. All the shafts provide power, while the first two steer the wheels.
