A unique futuristic Russian military assault wagon

As we know the Humvee is the US-made vehicle with higher ground clearance than an SUV and generally used for military purpose.

Currently a Russian automotive company and also known as Soviet-era limousines maker, ZIL made a military assault wagon concept thought as Russia's answer to the Humvee that can accommodate 10 people with all-seats facing the window and reportedly commissioned for army use.

The Russian military assault wagon concept is said to be based on the chassis of a Humvee, although it seats many more people (10 in total), and sports disparate proportions. ZIL claims the body was designed using "advanced 3D modeling," with a special emphasis on building a psychologically intimidating and "menacing" aesthetic.

Besides the car's shape was unique, it also designed with high ground clearance to be able to traverse any off-road terrain. The all-wheel-drive military vehicle has a weighs about 4,570 kilograms and its power comes from a Cummins inline-4 diesel engine with 185 hp, transferred to all four wheels via a five speed manual gearbox and two speed transfer case.

Another advantage of the Russian armored personel carrier concept, where is each passenger dealing with exits that make it easier for the Russians soldiers to get in and out of the car if one of the passengers had orders from superiors.

In my opinion, when looking at the design and placement of seating position, the car is well suited to be applied such as the safari park vehicle for facilitating the passengers to enjoy the scenery without having to turn right or left.
