Armored Vehicles of the future. 

Meet - «Krauja»! 

 A fundamentally new type of armored vehicles, featuring ultra-high security, mobility and striking power with the unusually high secrecy of movement (including those in the infrared detection). 
Represents a single armored capsule weighing about 1 ton of different forms of the original book, which protects the pilot from any small arms fire up to 30 mm cannons, infantry combat vehicles and armored personnel carriers. This was achieved thanks to the unique layout decisions, allowing to reduce the limit zabronevoe space vehicles. At the same time there is a high comfort for the pilot (the system of climate control, ventilation system, the system of eating, toilet, vibration, etc.). 

 «Krauja» also has an automatic pilot ejection system in case of defeat enemy armored vehicles from RPG, shell or bomb that dramatically improves the survival of personnel. 
Such a system has no analogues in the world. 
Staffing weapons «Krauja» -- 
Class PKTM machine gun (7.62 mm) and three managed specialized vertical 152 mm rocket launch with thermobaric, fragmentation, and high-explosive shaped-charge warhead. 
The staff is complemented by a variety of weapons, and optical electronic equipment (including thermal), which allows to work at any time and at a great distance from the object with an accuracy of a sniper or two shots. 
On the totality of their combat skills «Krauja» roughly the equivalent of main battle tanks, but also able to successfully fight the enemy and in the upper hemisphere (the enemy planes and helicopters, the upper floors of buildings, etc.). «Krauja» is unique not only as a new type of armor that can radically change the entire structure of the Army of any country. «Krauja» also requires an entirely new level of logistical support, training pilot (multi-thinking), constructing a new order of battle. 
Thus, posts, «Wolf flock» strength of 30 units will be able to control the area of 8-10 km2 and monitor the airspace up to an altitude of 3.5 km. In doing so, the cost of the pack will be equivalent to the value of a single main tank. Of course, that the destruction of a dispersed low goal it would be almost impossible. However, the response-controlled fire is very impressive! 
«Krauja» well suited for offensive operations, and in the defense, the ideal tool to combat patrol and reconnaissance, the stripping area, desantirovaniya (both from the air, and submarine). 

 I think that in future armed conflicts, traditional weapons systems (tanks, infantry combat vehicles, armored personnel carriers, field artillery, etc.) give way to super, sverhmobilnym fully autonomous, almost invisible, well armed, protected, with excellent communication and organization of military groups «Krauja» . Against a massive attack of several thousand «Krauja», carried out with a wide reach and within minutes, will not stand no modern army the world. Even the very existence of such weapons from the enemy will stop any aggression from outside. «Krauja» is ideally suited for guerrilla actions on the principle of «hit and disappeared». Even in small amounts can be totally upset and demoralize the enemy's logistics, to cause panic and chaos that generally affect the overall fighting capacity of the main armed forces. 

 At the time, the project «Krauja» was offered to them in size. Morozova, T-do them. Malysheva, but due interest was not shown. 
Apparently, they still think in terms of World War II, and all that, though little different from the prototype T-34 shall be shut off immediately on the vine. However, the era of main battle tanks have long ceased, and the massive (standard) issue a new ultra-armored vehicles (primarily - for export) plant would be enormous profit, and not marazmatichesko-dependent existence. Thus, the market value of the series «Krauja» in the base is estimated at $ 150-200 thousand, and the real needs of the world market - about 10 thousand units per year. 
 The massive use of «Krauja» in the army will allow almost an order of magnitude to reduce their size and cost, while dramatically increasing the impact strength. «Krauja» can also be used in counter-terrorism activities, police purposes, in the MES (Fire Engineering, a small tractor). «Krauja» - this is a totally new way of thinking, not only in design and technology, but also in building the future of armed forces , the method of their application and organization of the projection to the armed conflicts of modernity.
