At workplaces of crew members there are isolating gas masks, a unit for automatically turning on a radio station for transmission with a tape recorder. This armored vehicle provides crew comfort in combat conditions.

A disadvantage of the known car should be recognized as the fact that its appearance clearly indicates its purpose.

The closest analogue of the developed design of an armored vehicle can be recognized (RU, patent No. 2090391) an armored vehicle containing a chassis, a cabin having front, side and rear walls and a roof, doors in the walls of the cabin, equipped with locking mechanisms and controls for these mechanisms, instrument panel, vehicle controls, seats for passengers and the driver, fixed in the cab on the power beams with fixing elements, glazed windows, auxiliary attachment points cabin equipment, located on its walls in places with increased rigidity, the front armored plate, the side, rear and upper armored panels, placed around the perimeter inside the cabin with the formation of a protected area for the driver and passengers, and bulletproof glass. The armored wall and the armored panels are interconnected at the joints with the formation of a rigid armored capsule, placed inside the cabin with a gap relative to its walls, provided by the position locks of the armored capsule. The armored capsule is made with cantilever plates fixed in the lower part of the armored panels, the free ends of the cantilever plates are placed between the seats and the power beams and are fixed on the power beams with fixing elements for securing the seats, the latches of the armored capsule are fixed in the attachment points of the cab auxiliary equipment. The armored capsule is made with armored doors located opposite the cabin doors, in the armored doors opposite the controls there are openings blocked by movable armor plates. The specified armored vehicle has a high degree of protection for passengers and the driver from external damage by small arms and fragments of grenades and mines.

A disadvantage of the known design should be recognized as the use of mounting armored panels through the clips of the armored capsule to the power structures inside the car, which significantly reduces the strength of the armored cab of the vehicle, in addition, the design is practically not protected from undermining.

The technical problem to which the claimed technical solution is directed is to create an armored vehicle on the basis of a production car that provides reliable protection for passengers and the driver.

The technical result obtained by the implementation of the developed design is to provide the possibility of converting a production car into an armored vehicle while maintaining a standard appearance, increasing the bearing load, the rigidity of the armored structure, the service life of the vehicle and ensuring the safety of the crew.

To achieve the specified technical result, it is proposed to use a hidden reservation vehicle of a developed design. A hidden reservation vehicle containing an armored capsule welded from armored panels and a glazing of the body, the armored panels being made as large as possible and pressed against the inner surface of the car's outer skin, the body armor glass repeats the original ones in shape, while the car additionally contains a floor reservation made from the inside or outside mounted, and when booking outside, booking a floor is a set of armored boxes and armored panels mounted externally and overlapping interconnected, while the exhaust gas exhaust system of the engine is open, the gas tank is protected by a separate armored casing, the engine compartment has an armored box protecting the battery, an armored box protecting the on-board computer, armored panels located behind the headlights, armored panels installed behind the wings, armored panels installed in the area of wheel arches, as well as armor protection of the radiator.

According to the invention, a hidden reservation vehicle comprises a chassis, a cabin having front, side and rear walls, as well as a roof, doors in the cabin walls equipped with locking mechanisms, a dashboard, vehicle controls, placements for passengers and a driver, glazed windows, an armored capsule welded from armored panels made of the largest possible area and pressed against the inner surface of the outer skin of the car, while the car may additionally contain a floor reservation, flush mounted inside or outboard (representing a set of armored boxes and armored panels mounted externally and overlapping, while the exhaust system of the engine is open), the gas tank is protected by a separate armored hood, an armored box protecting the battery, an armored box protecting on-board computer, armored panels located behind the headlights, armored panels installed behind the wings, armored panels installed in the area of the wheel arches, as well as radiator protection . The windshield and rear windows of the car are identical in shape to the windshield and rear window of the original car. Preferably, in the reservation of the floor and gas tank, hatches are made for access to the drain holes. Booking elements protecting individual components of the car can be installed with the possibility of removal. This facilitates further maintenance of the vehicle. In addition to armored boxes and armored panels to enhance protection in some embodiments, mats made of aramid fibers can be additionally used.
