The Perfidious
YaHP-2
Two YaHP-2s of the 2nd Airborne Rifle Battalion, in General Combat Livery. Two crewmen discuss Fusouese trading card games. Famed for their cramped conditions (especially for any infantry who happen to want to tag along inside the vehicle's miniscule infantry-carrying compartment), they are nonetheless loved by their crews.
With the need for a highly mobile and light vehicle for their airborne operations, Khakassia would purchase production rights for the Papri-22 Strijelac, renaming it to the Papri-23Kh. It would prove highly useful with its very mobile frame and small stature, but would lack in the department of weaponry. Although capable of using turret-mounted ATGMs, it was only capable of internally mounting a 7.62mm heavy machinegun, so another vehicle was sought out.
Luckily, a fledgeling production firm at the growing city of Zamchurnyy would have just the vehicle to complement the Papri-23Kh: the ЯХП-2. Standing just barely taller than the average Khakas man
(which isn't very tall), and only 17'5" long, it is one of the smallest tracked vehicles to enter production into any modern military force. However, what it lacks it makes up for in firepower, which is highly important for any airborne vehicular operations. The turret was taken from old early-variant Transnistrian lend-lease BMP-2s from when the former Grodiron/Yiddeian nation had been an active member of the YSSR. It would see its most active service within the air wings of the Yiddeian armed forces, with its small size allowing it to traverse over terrain many other nations simply couldn't; a necessary factor in the highly mountainous terrain of Khakassia where modern IFVs oft find themselves stuck, and nigh-impassable by modern main battle tanks. It features amphibious abilities, necessary in the vast stretches of undeveloped land within and around Khakassia, with one of the April exercises actually taking place in a meltwater lake upon a glacier in the Geghya Range.
Thanks to Ian for inspiration, I really did like making this. Definitely the cutest thing I've made yet.
