Amur is the longest armoured train in Russia's armed train fleet. In total, Amur has 13 cars including the
locomotive. Unlike its more recent sister trains, the Amur only has one
ChME3-type locomotive to power it. In terms of length, each wagon is made from the standard
United Wagon Company Sgmmns 40’ flat car, which is 40 feet long. With regards to the Amur specifically, its EW car can be dual-use for anti-mine purposes as it incorporates a Kamysh M4K system, which uses white noise to interfere with radio-controlled IEDs at a distance of up to 20 meters. For defence, the entire train carriage is protected by shields and rolled steel of up to 20mm which is further reinforced by sandbags behind wooden panels. Both Amur and Baikal utilize heavily on camouflage nets to help reduce the visibility of the armored trains as targets. however, with the advent of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, Amur performed a role similar to that of Yenisei, in which it was primarily used as a rear-line unit meant for technical reconnaissance, mine clearance, and the restoration of the railway track and small man-made constructions with minimal destruction. == See also ==
