Zdravo. I’ve decided to suggest a Serbian IFV which was shown a few years ago, this time with double dakka, which would be the Lazar 3 with the “Praga” RCWS!

Description:

Spoiler

The Lazar 3 from Yugoimport is an advanced 8x8 armored vehicle known for its versatility and robust design. It is built with a modular armor system that allows for customizable levels of protection, ensuring high survivability on the battlefield. The vehicle’s interior is designed to comfortably fit a crew of 3 and up to 9 passengers, providing them with easy access through a rear ramp or roof hatches. It is armed with a variety of weapons, including a 2x30 mm “Praga DUBS 30/2” autocannon and options for additional machine guns and anti-tank missiles, namely the NOVA AT missile, making it highly effective in combat scenarios. The Lazar 3 is powered by a 500 horsepower diesel engine, which, along with its advanced suspension system, enables it to achieve high mobility and speeds up to 110 km/h. With its impressive range of 800 kilometers, it can perform extended missions without the need for frequent refueling. The vehicle’s dimensions are approximately 7.92 meters in length, 2.95 meters in width, and 2.32 meters in height, making it both spacious and maneuverable. Also, “Double-Headed Eagle” is the nickname for the RCWS :)

History:

Spoiler

It all started with the Lazar 1 in 2008, which brought a new approach to modular armor and battlefield versatility. Drawing from the experience gained and feedback received, the Lazar 2 was introduced in 2013, boasting improved mobility, protection, and firepower.

In 2015, the focus shifted to designing and developing the Lazar 3. This model aimed to integrate the latest technological advancements in armored vehicles. Entering production in 2017, the Lazar 3 emerged as the flagship of the series, recognized for its enhanced protection, exceptional mobility, and adaptable armament configurations. Its modular armor system allows customization to different levels of ballistic protection, making it effective in various combat scenarios. The vehicle also includes advanced anti-mine and IED protection to ensure crew safety.

The Serbian Armed Forces have deployed the Lazar 3, and it has garnered interest from international clients as well. In 2021, a significant procurement contract worth 3.7 billion Serbian dinars was signed.

The Lazar 3 mounted with the Praga RCWS was shown during PARTER 2021, along with other vehicles which use the same Lazar 3 chassis. From what I’ve heard, it reuses the old Praga gun’s, found for example on the Praga in the USSR TT right now in-game, but now has several improvements, like for example an autoloader.

The Lazar 3 has the following dimensions of 7.92 meters in length, 2.95 meters in width, and 2.32 meters (without turret) in height. It’s combat weight is around 24-26t, meanwhile the full weight is 28t. Powering it is a 500hp engine, which with its weight gives it a HP/T ratio of 19 if its 26t heavy (As the turret itself is 2t heavy). Due to the engine, it can go up to 110km/h (on road I assume). Oh! And it also features spall liners!
