歷史資料：
???? KDB-2牛蛙是一款擁有出色防空能力的全地形突襲運(yùn)輸載具。憑借這款載具的獨(dú)特設(shè)計(jì)及其在長(zhǎng)達(dá)七年的嚴(yán)酷戰(zhàn)斗中一次又一次的出色表現(xiàn)，基輔的卡茲米諾夫設(shè)計(jì)局幾乎壟斷了蘇聯(lián)軍工載具的設(shè)計(jì)和制造工作。
???? KDB-2兩棲能力的車底盤(pán)、試驗(yàn)性步兵運(yùn)輸機(jī)制和大膽的新潮風(fēng)格，憑借這些，牛蛙已經(jīng)取代了蘇聯(lián)防空履帶車的地位。
????牛蛙是舊時(shí)的蘇聯(lián)防空履帶車演變而來(lái)的兩棲版本，除了從前輩那里繼承有令人聞風(fēng)喪膽的防空炮，還創(chuàng)造性地裝配有一種步兵噴射裝置：響炮式步兵運(yùn)輸系統(tǒng)(型號(hào)CC98-HTDS，HTDS：Hlopushka Troop-Deployment System)，俗稱“射人大炮”。正如其名，一名成年男子可以被這種裝置射到約一千米開(kāi)外，再借助簡(jiǎn)單的降落傘包直入前線的后方。統(tǒng)計(jì)數(shù)據(jù)顯示這一非常規(guī)運(yùn)兵手段的安全系數(shù)年比增長(zhǎng)40%，如果這種裝置的發(fā)明者——傳奇的馬戲團(tuán)領(lǐng)班兼愛(ài)國(guó)主義戰(zhàn)士阿克迪·伊留申（Arkady Ilyushin），沒(méi)有在牛蛙處女航那場(chǎng)悲劇中喪命的話，一定會(huì)感到欣慰的。
????關(guān)于CC98-HTDS，備受爭(zhēng)議的一點(diǎn)是其發(fā)射結(jié)構(gòu)中，為了保障氣壓而設(shè)置的空氣閥門(mén)，也就是說(shuō)，在實(shí)戰(zhàn)中，任何步兵離開(kāi)載具的唯一方法就是大炮。最初的實(shí)地測(cè)試之后，強(qiáng)制推行了嚴(yán)格規(guī)定，蘇聯(lián)動(dòng)員兵們對(duì)于使用這種裝置時(shí)會(huì)造成的頸部扭傷、惡心反胃、恐高及其他不適的抱怨有所減少。按照蘇聯(lián)最新的作戰(zhàn)條例，牛蛙已經(jīng)可以運(yùn)載像戰(zhàn)熊或磁暴部隊(duì)這樣更大號(hào)的乘客了。發(fā)射管的內(nèi)壁也做了潤(rùn)滑處理，以防這些大體積單位在發(fā)射過(guò)程中因摩擦過(guò)熱而起火。
????牛蛙的防空炮對(duì)敵方空軍極具威脅，鑒于此，盟軍軍隊(duì)已將牛蛙視為優(yōu)先打擊對(duì)象。這里展示的是早期沒(méi)有兩棲能力的原型機(jī)。
????且不說(shuō)牛蛙作為運(yùn)輸載具的角色，裝備經(jīng)典PVS 5-7烏云機(jī)炮也有強(qiáng)勁火力。這種機(jī)炮可以輕易追蹤快速移動(dòng)的飛行目標(biāo)，再發(fā)射鋪天蓋地的破片，撕碎機(jī)體和乘員。這種載具還很結(jié)實(shí)，機(jī)動(dòng)性也不錯(cuò)，能出色地守衛(wèi)海濱領(lǐng)土。一踏上堅(jiān)實(shí)的陸地，全地形履帶就會(huì)自動(dòng)展開(kāi)，助力牛蛙進(jìn)行軍事行動(dòng)。有了這套裝備，再加上迷人的愛(ài)國(guó)主義標(biāo)準(zhǔn)涂裝，吸引了源源不斷的蘇聯(lián)公民為坐進(jìn)牛蛙踴躍參軍。即使生命面臨威脅，牛蛙操作人員會(huì)懷著自豪擔(dān)當(dāng)好支援的角色，他們待人熱忱、任勞任怨的品質(zhì)也是聲名遠(yuǎn)揚(yáng)。

戰(zhàn)場(chǎng)筆記

通過(guò)戰(zhàn)地偵察，已獲悉牛蛙至少具有以下幾個(gè)特征：

• 防空戰(zhàn)車，不能對(duì)地——牛蛙本質(zhì)上是一臺(tái)裝甲戰(zhàn)車，能夠抵抗輕武器的攻擊，但易受反車輛炮火摧殘。此外，它的主武器是僅為防空任務(wù)設(shè)計(jì)的，無(wú)法回?fù)舻孛娌筷?duì)的威脅。

• “射人大炮”，不同凡響——除了它的防空武器，牛蛙最值得稱道的就是響炮式射人大炮，這門(mén)大炮能夠?qū)⒉奖溥M(jìn)戰(zhàn)場(chǎng)，或者射上戰(zhàn)術(shù)有利位置。比方說(shuō)，將步兵射上高地、射過(guò)敵人的基地防御、從海里射向陸地等等。達(dá)到飛行頂點(diǎn)后，步兵會(huì)自動(dòng)傘降。

• 離開(kāi)載具，只此一路——記住，步兵單位一旦進(jìn)入牛蛙載具，這門(mén)“射人大炮”是唯一可以出去的方法，要不然只能困死在里頭。因此，在防空火力密集的戰(zhàn)場(chǎng)中使用牛蛙進(jìn)行運(yùn)輸是不可取的。

• 批量生產(chǎn)”——牛蛙在陸地亦或海洋都是一樣得能干，戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)工廠和海軍船港都可以生產(chǎn)牛蛙。無(wú)論在地上還是海里，只要是這兩棲載具能到達(dá)的位置，牛蛙都是蘇軍對(duì)付敵方飛行器的最佳選擇。

history

The KDB-2 Bullfrog is an unusual all-terrain assault transport with significant anti-aircraft capability. Kiev-based Kazminov Design Bureau all but clinched its monopolistic role as the Soviet Union's favored manufacturer-designer of military vehicles with this particular model, which has proven itself time and again in more than seven years' worth of fierce combat worldwide.

?

?

The KDB-2 Bullfrog replaces the Soviet Union's Flak Track with an amphibious chassis, experimental troop-transport mechanism, and bold new styling.

?

The Bullfrog is an amphibious variant of the obsolete Soviet Flak Track, and features a specialized version of its predecessor's feared anti-air weapon combined with an innovative infantry-launching device: the Hlopushka Troop-Deployment System (part CC98-HTDS), colloquially known as the "man-cannon". As the name suggests, this device is capable of launching a full-grown man across roughly a thousand meters, where he can drop behind the front lines using a basic parachute pack. Year-over-year safety statistics for this unorthodox transportation system continue improving at a rate of 40 percent, which surely would have delighted its inventor, legendary circus ringmaster and patriot Arkady Ilyushin, had he survived the Bullfrog's tragic maiden voyage.

?

One hotly-debated side effect of the CC98-HTDS is that the air lock used to build sufficient pressure in the firing mechanism means, in practice, that the only way for troops to exit the vehicle during combat operations is for all of them to launch out. After initial field tests, strict rules were imposed that greatly mitigated Soviet conscripts' complaints of whiplash, nausea, acrophobia, or general malaise at having to use this system. Pursuant to new Soviet combat regulations, the Bullfrog now comes standard with accommodations fit for larger passengers, such as trained War Bears and Tesla Troopers. The inside of the cannon is greased to ensure these forces are less likely to ignite from the friction of launch.

?

?

Allied forces have been known to designate Bullfrogs as priority targets because of the danger Bullfrogs' AA guns pose to enemy aircraft. Shown here is an early prototype with no amphibious capability.

?

Apart from its role as a transport, the Bullfrog features the powerful-if-conventional PVS 5-7 Tucha Cannon, which can track fast-moving aerial targets easily and fill the skies with a hail of metal fragments that can efficiently tear through fuselages and cockpits alike. The vehicle itself is rugged and maneuverable, guarding coastal territories well. Its all-terrain treads drop automatically as soon as the vehicle detects contact with solid ground, which helps make the Bullfrog relatively easy to operate. This, together with the attractive and patriotic standard paint scheme applied to this vehicle, has consequently enticed many Soviet citizens to enlist in the armed forces in the hopes of becoming a Bullfrog pilot. Indeed, Bullfrog operators have been known to be enthusiastic and forthcoming during combat, even under duress. They tend to fill their supporting role on the battlefield with great pride.

?

notes

Battlefield reconnaissance has revealed at least these facts about the Bullfrog:

?

? Cannot attack ground -- Essentially an armored car, the Bullfrog is resistant to small arms but vulnerable to anti-vehicle fire. Furthermore, its primary weapon is designed only for anti-air defense, which means the Bullfrog has no answer to enemy ground combatants.

?

? The remarkable "man-cannon" -- In addition to its anti-air weapon, the Bullfrog features the Hlopushka "Man-Cannon", which can launch infantry into battle or to tactically-advantageous terrain. For example, infantry can be launched onto high ground, over enemy base defenses, from sea to land, and more. Infantry automatically parachute down from the apex of the launch.

?

? One way out -- Bear in mind that once infantry units get into a Bullfrog, the "man-cannon" is the only way out, apart from death. Therefore it is ill-advised to use the Bullfrog as a troop transport in areas with heavy anti-air defense..

?

? Mass production -- Bullfrogs may be built from either a War Factory or a Naval Yard and perform comparably well both on land and at sea. Both on land and at sea, the Bullfrog is among the Soviets' best answer to enemy aircraft as far as surface vehicles go.
