"Russian" Tiger, "" Polite "Tigers," "Our answer to" Hammer "" - this is how the Russian armored car "Tiger" was nicknamed after "forcing Georgia to peace," the return of Crimea and the counter-terrorist operation in Syria. The car was developed on GAZ by order of the Jordanian king, but the Arabs preferred to produce this car independently under the name "Nimr," and in Russia mass production was established at the Arzamas Machine-Building Plant. To date, the Tiger family has already exceeded 40 modifications, including combat vehicles armored in the 5th class of ballistic protection for the army, police and special forces, the Kornet-D self-propelled anti-tank complex based on this car, command and staff vehicles. And today, traces of "Tigers" can be seen both on the roads of Eurasia and in African savannahs and Latin American selva. The author of this book is not only a professional specialist in the field of armored weapons and military vehicles (readers of this series know him from excellent books about infantry fighting vehicles and Leopard tanks), but was also personally involved in the appearance of Tigers in the power structures of Russia.
