Mission

The Project 12322 Zubr air cushion landing ship is designed to sealift landing assault units (personnel and materiel) from equipped/non-equipped to non-equipped shore, as well as transport and plant mines.

Features

Zubr landing craft can carry three main battle tanks, or ten armored personnel carriers with 140 troops, or up to 500 troops.

Personnel is protected against effects of weapons of mass destruction with airtight sealing of combat stations, crew and troops compartments, as well as individual gas masks and protection suits. The ship is also protected from influence mines with the horizontal winding to compensate for the ship's and the transported materiel's magnetic fields. The central command post and MS-227 device compartments are strengthened with armor.
