The Didgori-3 ( Georgian დიდგორი) is a Georgian transport tank based on the Didgori , which was developed by the Georgian military research institute STC Delta and was only produced in small numbers. The vehicle was named after the Battle of Didgori , which took place in Georgia in 1121.
Duties and armament
The all-wheel drive vehicle (6 × 6) was specially developed for peacekeeping operations and has a welded steel armored hull like the Didgori-2, which is intended to protect a maximum of six crew members from 7.62 × 51 mm armor-piercing ammunition. In addition, the V-shaped vehicle hull helps protect the crew by deflecting the force of an explosion to the side. The Didgori-3 is equipped with a remote-controlled heavy machine gun of the NSWT type of 12.7 mm caliber and a 7.62 mm coaxial PKT machine gun. There are also two 7.62mm machine guns with protective shields mounted in the hold. The loading area of the pick-up-like construction can be used for the transport of six soldiers or for equipment. The Didgori-3 has the same internal communication, navigation and thermal imaging systems as the Didgori and Didgori-2 armored vehicles . The chassis of the Didgori-3 is based on a modified chassis of the Ukrainian heavy-duty truck KrAZ-6322 . Presumably, the Didgori-3 is also powered by a Russian JaMS turbo diesel engine.
