The P-40 “Long Track” (1RL111) is a heavy armored radar and target acquisition vehicle designed for early warning, air defense surveillance, and operation across extreme off-road terrain.
Features
- Heavy Armored Tracked Chassis (AT-T / Article 426 Platform): Built upon a heavy-duty, fully tracked armored chassis derived from T-54 tank components, providing superior off-road mobility and cross-country performance through soft mud, snow, and rough terrain.
- Large UHF/VHF Parabolic Antenna Array: Outfitted with a massive foldable parabolic mesh dish mounted on top of the hull that rotates 360 degrees for early warning air-surveillance and target tracking.
- Integrated Generator & Power Plant: Equipped with an internal heavy gas-turbine or high-output diesel auxiliary power unit (APU) to supply the immense electrical power needed for long-range radar pulses and signal processing.
- Folding Mechanical Structure: Features complex hydraulic/mechanical linkages that fold the large parabolic dish flat against the top hull deck during transport to lower the vehicle profile and clear overhead obstacles.
- Early Warning & Air Defense Surveillance: Designed to detect high- and medium-altitude air targets, providing real-time target identification, range, and azimuth data to surface-to-air missile (SAM) batteries (such as S-75, S-125, and 2K12 Kub systems).
- Tracked Air Defense Mobility: Unlike wheeled radar platforms, the tracked chassis allows the P-40 to travel across extreme off-road terrain directly alongside armored divisions and mobile tactical surface-to-air missile launchers.
- Early Acquisition Node: Serves as the primary long-range search radar within integrated air defense networks, queuing precision fire-control radars onto incoming targets well before they reach engagement envelopes.
- Intricate Folding Kinematics & Animations: Features complex mechanical folding and unfolding sequences of the radar mesh dish and supporting boom arm.
- Rotational & Tracked Physics Modeling: Combines heavy tracked vehicle ground physics with continuous 360-degree radar antenna rotation animations.
- Essential Early-Warning Asset: Rounds out the air defense radar coverage in your military mod fleet, serving as the heavy tracked search counterpart to your wheeled MZKT radar platforms.
