Finnish military enterprise launches' West Soviet 'GTT all terrain armored transport vehicle
2025-05-22
The "West Soviet" GTT all terrain armored transport vehicle launched by a Finnish military enterprise. In the cold polar climate environment, armored vehicles such as tanks often face challenges such as frozen lubricating oil, engine "strike", and track slippage, making it difficult to achieve combat effectiveness. The tracked all terrain vehicle has become a "battlefield powerhouse" with strong passability and high maneuverability, capable of traversing the polar regions. According to foreign media reports, at the Helsinki Defense Exhibition held earlier, Finnish military enterprise "Sisu" (SISU) launched a "Sisu" GTT all terrain armored transport vehicle. This transport vehicle adopts a double link articulated structure, with the body divided into three parts: the driver's cabin, the carrier cabin, and the defense cabin. The tracks are designed with anti slip features, allowing it to move freely on ice and snow covered ground, demonstrating the hardcore strength of the "all terrain conqueror". The development of the "West Su" GTT all terrain armored transport vehicle integrates the track chassis technology of Singapore Technology Engineering Company and the design experience of the "West Su" GTP light armored vehicle. The design of the tracked chassis has good maneuverability and protective performance, capable of wading 1.2 meters through water, crossing a 1-meter-high vertical obstacle, climbing a 17 ° front slope in snowy conditions, and passing through a 2-meter-high trench obstacle. These characteristics enable the "West Soviet" GTT all terrain armored transport vehicle to adapt to extreme weather and various terrain conditions in Northern Europe, with excellent mobility and rescue capabilities. In addition, the "West Soviet" GTT all terrain armored transport vehicle adopts the same main components as the "West Soviet" GTP light armored vehicle, and insists on using domestic components, which not only reduces logistics maintenance and repair costs, but also avoids risks such as component supply chain breakage caused by regional conflicts. A major highlight of the "West Soviet" GTT all terrain armored transport vehicle is its modular design, which can be matched with different functional modules according to operational needs to complete a series of tasks such as troop transportation, command, communication, and control. Its cargo platform can carry a payload of 5 tons or a box type weapon system with a side length of 3 meters, including firepower modules, electromagnetic interference modules, anti drone modules, air defense and anti missile modules, or other specific mission systems. Open architecture also allows users to design specialized modules according to task needs and perform diverse tasks. The current unarmored all terrain vehicles used by the Finnish military have been in service for nearly 40 years and urgently require new products for replacement. Compared to other vehicles, the "Westinghouse" GTT all terrain armored transport vehicle with better adaptability and more advanced technology is expected to enhance the Finnish military's mission capability in extreme environments. Previously, the "West Soviet" GTP light armored vehicle had been selected by the "Multi country Common Tactical Vehicle Program" led by Finland and Sweden and is currently being delivered. The "West Soviet" GTT all terrain armored transport vehicle will work together with Finland and its Nordic allies to enhance their combat capabilities in high latitude regions in the future.
