According to the company, one of these could be used for up to 50 years in the military.
Modern war has made combat vehicles more sophisticated than ever, such as the massive JLTV which replaces the old Humvee. Dr. Juri E.Postnikov believes there is an alternative. His Partisan One concept doesn’t use cutting-edge technology, but it allows for large numbers of vehicles to be on the road quickly. The ultimate goal is to make the best car on the worst roads in the world.
Dr. Postnikov claims that the design is intentionally primitive. The Partisan One takes the two-box shape to the extreme. It has an extremely angular front and a large rectangle for the passengers. The SUV is free from any curvy lines.
Survivability is a concern for military vehicles. The exterior has circular recesses that can be used to attach armor plates. You can also fit V-shaped armor to protect against ground explosives.
The Partisan One will have a space frame made of high-strength steel and wishbone suspension under the angular panels. However, the company is not sure about the engine. According to the firm, it is possible to install various power units, including transverse and longitudinal powerplants.
This box on wheels was designed to be extremely easy to build. Dr. Postnikov envisions many body configurations, including a three-door, five-door, and pickup. It is possible to make 6×6 or 8×8 versions. An army could place 5 vehicles’ knockdown kits in a standard shipping container, and then transport the vehicles to the areas that most need them.
The firm claims that the Partisan One will last for at least 50 years, even though it is not yet in production. The company claims that the SUVs can be used in the army for 50 years or more without the need to replace them. Additionally, they offer a 100-year warranty on both the car and its parts.
The Partisan One would not be used by a large military such as the United States, but it could have some use in the armed forces a small nation. Take the simple SUV’s appearance on the battlefield with a grain-of-salt until more details are available.
