Fotogaléria IRM IPR, IPR je variant IRM "Zhuk" používaný na prieskum vodných bariér. Je vybavený šnorchlom, balastnou nádržou v nosovej časti, dvoma veľkými a dvoma malými balastnými nádržami a vzduchovou nádržou na potápačské vybavenie, ktoré umožňujú vykonávať podvodný prieskum v maximálnej prevádzkovej hĺbke 8 m a v celkovej hĺbke 15 m. V malom počte ho vyrábali lokomotívne závody "Muromteplovoz"

The **IRM** (*Inzhenernaya Razvedyvatelnaya Mashina*, or “Engineer Reconnaissance Vehicle”), often nicknamed **”Zhuk”** (Beetle), is a specialized Soviet-designed amphibious armored vehicle. The **IPR** (*Inzhenernyy Podvodnyy Razvedchik*, or “Engineering Underwater Reconnaissance”) is a highly specialized variant of the IRM.
Both vehicles are built upon the chassis and running gear of the widely produced **BMP-1** Infantry Fighting Vehicle, providing them with high mobility, off-road capability, and light armor protection.
Primary Mission and Function
The main role of the IRM is to perform detailed reconnaissance for combat engineer units, specifically focusing on:
- **Route Reconnaissance:** Assessing and clearing pathways for advancing forces.
- **Mine Detection:** Equipped with deployable devices to identify and mark minefields.
- **Water Obstacle Assessment:** Critically important for assessing river crossings, including:
- Water depth and flow velocity.
- Bottom profile and soil density (for determining trafficability).
- Locating underwater obstacles or hazards.
- **Terrain Evaluation:** Overall mapping and determining the ability of the ground to support heavy military vehicles.
Key Design Features
- **Chassis Base:** Derived from the reliable BMP-1 chassis.
- **Mobility:** Fully tracked for high off-road performance and fully **amphibious**.
- **Water Propulsion:** Propelled in the water by **two shrouded propellers** located at the rear of the hull.
- **Self-Recovery:** Features a unique **rocket-powered self-recovery system** on the rear deck to quickly extract the vehicle when it becomes stuck in mud or soft ground.
- **Armament:** Typically features only light armament for self-defense, such as a machine gun mounted on the roof.
The IPR Submarine Variant
The **IPR** is a more complex variant of the IRM, specifically enhanced for deep-water reconnaissance, often used to check the structural integrity of bridge piers or deep river bottoms.
- **Enhanced Submergence:** Equipped with special **ballast tanks** (including in the nose section) and an advanced snorkel system to allow for full submersion.
- **Operational Depth:** Designed to operate at significantly greater depths than the standard IRM (reportedly up to 15 meters).
- **Diving Equipment:** Includes an air-locked compartment for specialized diving equipment and personnel.
