'Punisher' Vehicle Tested for Security Forces -- Moscow Times

A prototype of an armored vehicle called the Punisher, being developed for Russia's security forces, presented at a testing ground outside Moscow, according to a Facebook community of weapons enthusiasts.

The test run of the "menacing" machine for the Federal Security Service took place last week at the Dmitrovsky Testing Ground, a post on facebook.com/toparsenal said.

Developed by ZiL, the vehicle has a four-wheel chassis from a Kamaz-4911 truck, weighs 12 metric tons and can accelerate to 150 kilometers per hour.

The plan is to start mass-producing the vehicle next year.
