"The fact that Russian military equipment regularly gets into various kinds of road accidents and emergency situations on the endless Russian roads is a fact that has been documented more than once. But for the first time in my memory this is such a spectacle! ", writes Evil Odessit for the Southern Courier.
On the road near Tula, the BAM of the UAE, Nimr Ajban 440A poses very effectively for Russians passing by, with "easy" damages as a result of an accident.
And it is at such moments that the question of the causes of accidents becomes not that of secondary, but in general does not even want to ask it, because the appearance of an armored car produced by the UAE in the Tula chigiri is already a sensation. How? What for? Why?.
As it is not strange, the most intelligible at the moment only two answers. The first - an Arab armored car was sent to Russia for tests on it ATGM (after all, in the modification of the self-propelled ATGM this Nimr traveled in the Russian Federation), in particular - "Cornet". However, taking into account the monopoly of the French, the PTRK cluster for the army of the UAE, this option raises doubts.
But the second answer may not be very popular with Russian cheers-patriots, because Nimr Ajban 440A can be used to copy the technologies of this BMS in a fairly mediocre Russian "Tigre" (the very one that curbs with difficulty overcomes), although both were initially created for one copy. However, the Arabian BBM proved to be much more effective and universal, in comparison with the Russian ruffle.
Whatever it was, but the traditional Russian neatness has led to the fact that the appearance of the Arab armored car in Russia is not only declassified, but also managed to ruin it.
