Description:
The Zubr, Project 12322, air cushion landing craft is intended to carry troops to enemy shores while providing support fire during amphibious assault operations. A landing ramp at bow enables Zubr crafts to perform rapid landing operations of troops and materiel on shore.
The Zubr air cushion landing craft propulsion system consists of five high temperature gas turbine engines rated at 10,000-hp which drive four air-cushion blowers and three air thrust propellers. The craft features light armor plates to counter small caliber guns and shell fragments.
The weapon system consists of four Igla-1 short range air defense missile systems, two multiple rocket launcher systems, and two 30mm AK-306 guns. It can ferry three main battle tanks, or eight infantry fighting vehicles, or up to 10 armored personnel carriers, or 140 assault troops with 130 tons of cargo instead of 360 fully equipped troops.
