3. INDRODUCTION
•Manufactured in Russia, the DT-30 Vityaz
is an articulating tracked vehicle (ATV)
designed to transport heavy loads in
extremely difficult off-road conditions
such as swamps, sand and snow. In
addition to armed forces, the vehicle is
also used for civilian applications.

5. VARIANTS
• "The DT-30 Vityaz is an articulating tracked vehicle (ATV) designed
to transport heavy loads in extremely difficult off-road conditions
such as swamps, sand and snow."
• The DT-30, with a single flat-bed cargo body, is the original
vehicle in the series. Due to its high load and bale capacities, the
vehicle could be used in unfriendly road and climatic conditions.
• With a payload capacity of 10t, the DT-10P Vityaz is a smaller
articulated tracked carrier. The DT-10PM Vezdesusciy is an
improved version of the DT-10P.

7. DESIGN
• The various segments of the DT-30 vehicle are held together by
joints. The payload capacity as well as the weight of the vehicle is
30t. Seating for driver and four passengers is provided in a forward
control cab, which is fully enclosed.
• The power plant is arranged in the first unit behind the cab, while
the rear unit can be used for storage.
• Large surface contact with the ground for better stability is
achieved by an unconventional pattern of four active track
envelopes.

9. DEVELOPMENT
• The state trials of DT-LP and DT-L (the first atvs) were carried out
in 1971 and the DT-10P, DT-20P and DT-20 atvs entered in service
in 1980.
• The first batch of the dt-10p atvs, manufactured by ishimbai
transport machine-building plant (ishimbaitransmash), came out in
1982.
• Trials of the twin-unit atvs dt-30p and dt-30 were completed in
late 1981.
• An intensive research and development programme for the
creation of twin-unit vityaz family compriseing the dt-10, dt-20
and dt-30 variants was completed by 1985.

11. ENGINE
• "The vehicle is powered by a V-shaped, 12-cylinder
multi-fuel diesel engine."
• The vehicle is powered by a V-shaped, 12-cylinder multi-
fuel diesel engine.
• This four-stroke engine, generating 710HP, was
developed from those used on the T-64 main battle tank.
• A pre-heater facilitates the start of the engine at
temperatures as low as -50°C.
