Today Канюк конструкторское бюро are proud to announce completion of Нормович (translates as Normovich), the superior family of wheeled exploration and combat vehicles. Available in the four configurations;
4 x 4 Single hull
6 x 6 Single hull
8 x 8 Articulated Double hull
10 x 10 Articulated Double hull
Equipped with dual Fuel Cell power plants, powering advanced technology electric motors dedicated to each wheel, the Нормович has the power to go anywhere. With large, heavy tread tyres, the Нормович can cope with all terrains, and being fully amphibious, will not be stopped by a mere lake or river. Production examples will soon be rolling out every day in large quantities. Amongst the first to be issued to our glorious RUSK regiments will be the specially designed 10 x 10 articulated, dual barrelled 120mm Mortar version, which will provide much needed rapid fire, high explosive, support.
After extensive testing, the Нормович will also be deployed to the brave Internal Security units protecting our challenging frozen borders. Designed to allow long periods of operation, each vehicle contains a central corridor allowing even the tallest of our courageous soldiers to stand tall and proud whilst braving the worst Arctic storms. The ability to move around, and not be cramped by a restricted environment, has been proven to allow deployments far longer than in the inferior vehicles of our enemies. Equipped with weapon and other systems to meet each specific mission challenge, along with classified armour protection, the Нормович is clearly superior to any challenger in it's class. The fully enclosed articulated corridor between the two parts of the larger vehicles, allows full use of extended hull space, whilst not limiting the Нормович's excellent multi-terrain mobility. As always it is an honour to provide our brave soldiers with the best we can give during this Supreme Patriotic War.
Press release issued on behalf of Comrade Burton, Director, Канюк конструкторское бюро, and authorisation is granted for distribution via all approved news channels under the control of the Media Relations Department of Armies Army.

Great work, again from Comrade Burton!

A very cool vehicle, not only for military and police use, but I could see civilian versions being used for civil and industrial functions. So now I have Rusk troops on the way from Black Hat, I'm making sure to pre-order three of the BTRs before 02/14, and now these are on the short list. |

Agreed rvandusen – expedition vehicles, mobile labs and suchlike spring to mind for the articulated versions in particular. |

OMG right on! The brutish looks of these vehicles are on target for the East. |
| Twoball Cane | 04 Feb 2014 11:37 a.m. PST |
Best vehicle to track moose and squirrelll. |
| War Monkey | 04 Feb 2014 7:50 p.m. PST |
Yes I agree as well, would have more civilian use for myself then others uses, yup on my the list |

Make optional armor covers for the windshield and windows. I was also thinking these would be great for the Control Battalion. |

Very nice indeed Andrew & Keith and to quote Mr Treadway you also know my thoughts on this range of vehicles and I've seen the future but ill keep a lid on it. :) zac |
| Armiesarmy | 05 Feb 2014 2:58 a.m. PST |
Ssshhhhhh Avamango :)
Thanks all, keep your optional ideas coming in.
So far I have additional stowage and crew members in the pipeline and a few others as Avamango alluded to :) Keith |

Oh, these are perfect. They look the business for any sort of conflict on a world in the process of being terraformed, or with a thin atmosphere. I can just picture a convoy of some of these on a somewhat-lower-than-earth gravity world where the population lives largely in artifically lit bunkers under a sky of constant night and stars, being attacked by a gang or scavenging patrol of technobandits on the verge of being organised into a state proper by a gang leader with a vision. |
