Development began in 2010 and the first contract was signed in 2012; production started in 2014 and twelve Typhoons appeared in that year's Victory Day parade. The 6×6 is 8.99 m long and carries two crew and up to sixteen troops behind a V-shaped hull, with the seats hung from the roof rather than standing on the floor.
The 4×4 53949 is a different vehicle on the same idea: 6.7 m long, 13,700 kg empty, two crew and eight troops, a 350 hp Cummins six and a six-speed automatic, built by the Kamaz subsidiary Remdiesel. About 330 Typhoon-K were in Russian service by 2021.
