Early
2009, the Serbian defense Company Yugoimport had
completed the prototype of a new Multi-Role Armoured
Combat Vehicle (MRACV) called Lazar. The Lazar
BTR-DR-8808 8x8 is a multi-purpose armored vehicle
designed following modern world trends in the
development of a family of wheeled armoured vehicles
intended for carrying out of a number of tactical
tasks in different armed conflicts. The concept
and technical solutions of the vehicle are especially
adjusted to the requirements of modern infantry
units and sepcial units engaged in carrying out
of the tasks of antiterrorist and peace keeping
actions. Special accent is made on vehicle actions
in urban conditions, inhabited areas and cross-country,
against enemy ambushes, anti-tank mines, improvised
explosives devices, etc. The vehicle practically
represents modern vehicle of MRAP class (Mine
Resistant Ambush Protected vehicle) with certain
characteristics (such as high mobility and fire
power) of the vehicle class MRAV (Multi Role Armored
Vehicle), which combines the basic characteristics
of the two classes of modern wheeled armoured
vehicles exceptionally important in the world
today.
In
the LAZAR design concept special accent has been
made on the development of its high mobility,
armour protection system, armament system, and
the possibility of transport of 10 soldiers and
the possibility of their quick dismemberment and
embankment from protected positions via back door.
The passenger compartment is designed so as to
provide for the soldiers to be oriented toward
large windows made of ballistic glass, and towards
gun holes, thus enabling them excellent visibility
and survey of the surrounding environment and
their combat engagement by using of their personal
armament.

| Armament |
Various
weapon stations can be mounted to the
LAZAR. The vehicle weapons are installed
in the space behind the driver and the
commander, and in front of the embankment
crew compartment. There are few optional
weapon system concepts.
•
Light one man turret with 12.7 mm M87
machine-gun, coaxial 7.62 mm M86 machine-gun
and 4 • smoke pot launchers.
• Light one man turret with 20 mm
M55 automatic cannon, coaxial 7.62 mm
M86 machine-gun and 4 smoke pot launchers.
• Remote controlled overhead weapon
station with 12.7 mm M87 machine-gun and
4 smoke pot launchers.
• Two axis stabilized one man •
turret M-91 with 30mm M86 automatic gun,
coaxial 7.62 mm M86 machine gun, ATGM
subsystem Malyutka and 4 smoke pot launchers.
• Modular armoured gun mount M06
which can be fitted depending on vehicle
application and the given tactical scenario
with: 7.62 mm infantry machinegun M84
in the infantry variant or 7.62 mm M86A
machine gun with electric triggering or
12.7 mm machine gun M87 or 30 mm M93
• Automatic grenade launcher or
20 mm M55 automatic gun.
Total combat weight of the turret/weapon
station/gun-mount is from 400 kg up to
two tons, while the bearing diameter is
from 640 mm up to 1600 mm, depending allied
armament.
|
| Protection |
| High
level of armour protection of LAZAR is achieved
by application of armoured body produced
of armour piercing steel which, together
with ballistic glass, basically provides
for ballistic protection in accordance with
STANAG 4569 standard of grade III+ (12.7x108mm
b-32 from 100m) on the front side and grade
II on all other sides of the vehicle. Application
of combined additional armour of complex
composite construction mounted on top of
the basic armour provides for ballistic
protection of grade V on the front side
and grade IV on all other sides of the vehicle.
Introduction of reactive explosive armour
system mounted on combined additional armour
provides for effective protection against
infantry armour piercing weapons of class
RPG-7 which represent major threat to the
above mentioned categories of combat. Additional
bottom part of the armoured body is V shape
and provides for protection against explosion
of antitank mines and improvised explosive
devices underneath the vehicle wheels and
vehicle floor. The design of armoured body
provides for fast installation and replacement
of additional armour, and the installation
of the same does not degrade basic functions
of the vehicle.

| Propulsion |
The Lazar is equipped with a high mobility
chassis 8 x 8, and motorized with a 440
HP power engine, coupled to a mechanical
synchronized gearbox. The suspension is
composed by a 2 x 2 tandem axles, with leaf
springs and shock absorbers. The design
concept of drive and suspension of the vehicle,
based on long-time studying and modelling
of possible technical solutions, a principle
of application of 8x8 formula has been chosen,
with rigid bridges and springs which, at
the same time, provides for high level of
protection against anti-tank mines and improvised
explosive devices, and high level of manoeuvrability
outside regular roads. Central tire pressure
regulation system is installed in the vehicle,
and run-flat inserts may be installed into
the tires which provide for driving of the
vehicle even with damaged tires. |
| Accessories |
| The
Lazar is equipped with central pressure
regulation system for the tyres. Command
information system (KIS) with GPS based
navigation. Panoramic optoelectronic reconnaissance
observation station, stabilized in two planes,
fitted with CCD TV camera, thermal imaging
camera and laser rangefinder. |
