Technical Data

Armament
The Tigr-M GAZ-233114 can be armed with a light machine gun or grenade launcher. Hatches and brackets for the installation of a 7.62mm Pecheneg machine gun and 30mm AGS-17 grenade launchers are mounted on the vehicle’s roof.
Design and protection
The layout of the Tigr-M GAZ-233114 is standard with the engine at the front, the crew seats in the middle, and the troop’s compartment at the rear. The hull of Tigr-M GAZ-233114 provides protection against small-arms fire, shell fragments, and IED blasts. The hull and door windows are bulletproof and the vehicle’s spall liners protect personnel against spalls if the hull is hit by bullets or fragments and exclude ricochets from the opposite side if the hull is pierced. To protect the engine from small-arms fire, the bonnet is armored.
Mobility
The Tigr-M GAZ-233114 is motorized with the Russian-made YaMZ-5347-10 diesel engine compliant with Euro 4 environmental friendliness standards. The engine is turbo-charged and has after cooling capability. It burns various types of fuel and produces an output of 215 hp. The vehicle can run at a maximum road speed of 125 to 140 km/h. The vehicle's off-road capability on the soft ground has increased owing to a new design of the axles fitted with forced-locking bevel gear differentials. The efficiency of the braking system has been boosted through the use of sophisticated brakes and the introduction of a pneumatically-actuated auxiliary exhaust retarder controlled from the driver's station. The Tigr-M can ford water up to 1.3 meters deep without any preparation.
Combat Equipment
The Tigr-M GAZ-233114 incorporates a central tire inflation system that can adapt tire pressure to suit a variety of surfaces. The TIGR carries an electric winch with a pulling force of 4,000 kg and 20 m of wire rope. The vehicle is also equipped with an automatic fire extinguishing system for the engine compartment. In addition, the Tigr-M has cross-bar locks in all of its doors and improved gaskets, as well as the air conditioner, FVU-100A-24 filtering unit, and enhanced-performance PZhD-16 prestart heater (16kW instead of 12kW previously).
