The Russian Mechanics (Russkaya Mechanica) company showcased the first Russian-made quad bike designed for use by the armed forces at the International Military-Technical Forum 'Army-2016' in the Moscow Region, Friday.
The new quad bikes are to be deployed by Russia's Arctic infantry to defend the Chukotka peninsula in the far northeast of Russia. The new division comprising of the infantry battalions will use four- and six-wheeled quad bikes to patrol the Bering Strait coastline.
The vehicle was both present at the exhibition centre of the Patriot Park in Kubinka and tested at Alabino range within the military hardware demonstration. According to Aleksander Kryuchkov, the deputy director general of the company, the quad bikes are based on the civilian model RM-500, but they also come with an "option to attach weaponry to it."
The issue of the number of infantry vehicles for the defence of the peninsula is yet to be determined.
