KvP-92 Assault Hovercraft

  The KvP-92 is the standard combat hovercraft used by the Russian Naval Infantry. It is conifigured to carry eight soldiers enclosed in armor. Carrying it's own firepower, it is used for fast amphibious assaults.
  Like all hovercraft, it is supported on a cushion of air that allows fast travel over the water. It is armored (5/3) against weapon fire, as well as shrapnel. The crew compartment consists of eight seats that house the attached infantry squad. Each seat has APPS to protect against high seat states and other hazards. Exit and access is trhough the large bow ramp, which also serves as crew access. Turret access is through the top hatches, and can go into the main cargo area as well. Unfortunately, the length of the 2A50 Autocannon causes problems when egressing, as the weapon must not fire while troops are disembarking while the turret is traversed to the front. Both the engine and the hull is sealed against the water preventing water damage from disabling the vehicle. Further enhanements include panels to reduce the aural signature of the vehicle, helping it achieve some surprise. An electronics port is provided to allow use of the squad's tactical radios.
  Protection is afforded through composite armor, and the capability to mount ablative armor on the hull to increase the level when needed. Electronic protection is afforded through use of the latest ECM and ECCM gear, though while less capable than others, offers it an edge.
  Weaponry consists of a turret mounted 2A50 Autocannon that is fed from a 250 round belt. Coaxially mounted is a PK heavy machinegun, with an 800 round belt feed. It is capable of engaging aerial targets, and a spotlight is mounted in front of the TC's hatch.
