Occupiers consider these vehicles to be an "effective option for forcing rivers" when groups of 50 small amphibious vehicles with a crew of five people each are deployed with the support of artillery and aviation. russians tell about the Triton's "ability to enter the water from a low cliff without losing buoyancy."
The vehicle should have a load capacity of 1.5 tons on water and one ton on soil. Its price with a gasoline engine is announced at 2.4 million rubles, with a diesel engine - 2.9 million rubles. Invaders say that, "for the price of one armored personnel carrier, it is possible to buy ten Tritons.
russians position their new development as a vehicle that will monitor any frontline areas, cover advancing units, evacuation teams, support rotation, etc. As a promising option, it is considered that this electronic warfare vehicle can theoretically be a carrier of a group of FPV-drones.
It is currently unknown when exactly such a vehicle might appear in the occupation army. However, russians want to demonstrate a prototype of the Triton vehicle at Army-2024 forum in August this year.
