MAZ-5316
Notes: As noted
in Belorussian Heavy Unarmored Vehicles, the MAZ-5316 is a smaller version of
the MAZ-6317. In fact, the two
vehicles share some 50-70% of their parts, depending upon which engine the
MAZ-6317 is using. The MAZ-5316 is
known to be used by the Belorussians and the Syrians, but most use seems to be
by civilian concerns, ranging from relief organizations to civilian
thrill-seekers. Some of the
versions the MAZ-6317 has have their counterparts in the MAZ-5316.
The basic
MAZ-5316 is about 8 meters long, and has a two-man cab.
The cab has a space in the back of the seat and underneath part of it for
crew equipment, and behind there, are essentially “bunk bed” sleeping berths for
the crew. The rear cargo area has fold-up passenger bench seats and tie down
points for cargo; the benches may also be totally removed and tied to the bows
if more cargo space is needed. The
engine is a standard YaMZ 238DE2 turbocharged diesel, with manual transmission.
Drive is 4x4. The cab is tilted forward for access to the unitary power
pack. The MAZ-6317 also has winch mounted in the front bumper, primarily used
for self-recovery. This has a
capacity of 10 tons and 50 meters of cable.
Like the MAZ-6317, the engine has a lot of torque and has locking
differentials, as well as central tire regulation and
run-flat/puncture-resistant tires.
The truck has all-wheel drive and can steer using all wheels,
Military
variants include an artillery tractor/ammo carrier/equipment/crew carrier; the
MAZ-5316 is capable of towing 16.28 tons if nothing is carried in the bed. Other
variants include the MAZ-53161 extended-cab version, MAZ-531605 Shelter Carrier,
and the Zasashnyk MRAP APC.
Military versions are generally used as troop/cargo/ammo carriers, but are also
used as artillery tractors, MRL tractors, or tow trailers with even more cargo.
The shelter-bed versions are generally used as command vehicles, FDCs, shop
vehicles, communication vehicles, etc.
Civilians
concerns often use shelter carriers, but just as often use standard-bed
versions. Long-distance haulers
with box-body beds often are equipped with luxuries like a TV, CD/DVD player,
small refrigerator, etc., Thrill-seekers will often have independent suspension
for each wheel, upgraded shocks, etc. Civilian versions will not be covered
here. It might be noted, though,
that PCs or NPCs who are equipped with an extended-cab civilian version will be
well-appointed indeed.
The Zasashnyk,
is, as stated above, V-hulled MRAP with suspended explosion-resistant seats for
the crew and the troops in back.
The roof of the Zasashnyk has a Rafael Protector RWS equipped with an M2HB and a
Mk 19 AGL. These weapons can be
aimed, fired, and reloaded from inside the troop compartment, and there is a
seat with a downlinked monitor for the gunner to sit while operating the RWS.
The RWS has its own sensors and day/night vision devices, and the RWS is
electrically rotated, traversed, and elevated.
See the Glossary
for Ground Vehicles for the effects of an MRAP hull and interior. Though
Belorussia lists the Zasashnyk, as an APC, it is more an armored logistics
vehicle and also can be used as an artillery tractor.
