3. INDRODUCTION The Dozor B is a 4x4 light armoured personnel
carrier (APC) privately developed by Kharkiv Morozov Machine
Building Design Bureau (KMDB) in Ukraine. This tactical utility
vehicle can carry three crew members and eight troops.
4. DESIGN Dozor B has a bonnet-type layout with crew and power
pack compartments. These two main compartments are differentiated
by a noise-insulating and air-tight vibration bulkhead. The power
pack compartment is located between the front and central parts of
the hull. It contains the engine, transmission, elements of the
steering system, an air system, braking system, the operations
support systems and components of heating and air conditioning
systems.
5. FEATURES The motor car-type layout allows for ease of
operation and maintenance and provides high cross-country mobility.
The APC is transportable by rail, road, sea or air. The engine
components, braking, steering and air systems can be easily
accessed for repair. It also increases the safety due to easy
mounting and dismounting of the crew.
6. DOZOR B WEAPONS Dozor B is armed with a remote controlled
12.7mm NSBT-12.7 machine gun with a PZU-7 optical monocular
periscopic sight. It has an ammunition capacity of 450 rounds. It
can fire within an elevation range of - 3 to +68. The roof-mounted
anti-aircraft machine gun can be rotated 360.
7. PROTECTION Dozor B is designed for protection against
anti-tank mines and small arms fire. It has an armoured hull for
protection of the crew and internal equipment against 7.62mm
bullets. The cylindrical armoured steel bottom provides protection
against mines. The windows of the APC are also armoured to the
level of the main armour.
