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.

KDB-2「牛蛙」是一款与众不同的全地形突击运输车，具有显著的防空能力。凭借着这款特殊的车型，位于基辅的卡兹米诺夫设计局赢得了苏联青睐的军用车辆设计与供应商的垄断地位。在过去七年的世界大战中，它也一次又一次地证明了自己的能力。

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.

牛蛙是过去苏联履带防空车¹的两栖变种，配备了在其前任的恐怖防空武器基础上进一步定制化的新版本，并且还搭配了一种创新式的人员部署装置——「场记板」式人员部署系统，俗称「人体大炮」。顾名思义，该装置可以把一个成年人发射到1000米的高空，随后他就能使用伞具降落在战线后方。这种非传统型运输系统的安全率正在以每年40%的速度提升，如果它的发明人，著名的马戏团团长、爱国者阿尔卡季·伊留申要是能在牛蛙悲剧般的首次实验中活下来的话，想必他也会深感欣慰。

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.

CC98型人员部署系统最令人诟病的地方在于其为了平衡内部气压而设置的阀门，这使得在实战当中，步兵唯一能够离开车子的方式就是被通通发射出去。在最初几次实地测验之后，执行了更为严格的准则，这极大地缓解了苏联官兵在不得不使用这一系统时的产生的扭伤、恶心、恐高症以及各种各样的抱怨。根据苏联最新的作战条例，牛蛙如今已经配备了更大的标准空间，以容纳受训的战熊与磁暴步兵。同时，发射器内部也喷涂了润滑油，以减少这些部队在发射时产生的摩擦力，防止可能引发的火灾。

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.

除了作为运输工具使用外，牛蛙还配备了强大的PVS 5-7型「乌云」式机炮。它可以轻松地跟踪快速移动的空中目标，向天空中撒去一片金属弹幕，对敌机身与驾驶舱造成高效杀伤。再加上车辆本身非常坚固，机动性也很好，这样就能很好地保护沿岸地区。一旦车身检测到接触了坚实的地面，它的全地形履带就会自动降下来，这使得牛蛙相对来说更易于操作。这些特点，再加上车身所使用的引人注目的爱国主义涂装，吸引了许多苏联公民入伍从军，希望成为一名牛蛙驾驶员。众所周知，牛蛙的驾驶员在战斗中斗志昂扬，热于助人，即使是在重压之下，他们也能怀着极高的自豪感完成支援工作。

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

战场侦察已经揭示了牛蛙的以下情报：

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.

无法对地——作为一辆装甲车，牛蛙可以抵抗小型武器的攻击，但它无法承受反装甲武器的火力。此外，它的主要武器也被设计为仅能用于防空，这意味着牛蛙对于敌方地面单位是毫无还手之力的。

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.

标志性的「人体大炮」——除了防空武器外，牛蛙还搭载了「场记板」式「人体大炮」，可以将步兵投放至小规模战斗或大规模战役中的优势地形。比如说，把步兵发射到高地、越过敌军基地防线、由海向陆等等。当步兵到达顶点时，降落伞会自动启用。

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.

一条出路——请记住，除了死亡之外，步兵一旦进入牛蛙，「人体大炮」就是唯一的出口。因此，不建议在防空火力极强的地方使用牛蛙运送步兵。

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.

大量生产——牛蛙可以在战争工厂或海军船坞中建造，它们在陆地和海上的表现都相当好。无论是在水面上还是陆地，牛蛙就是苏联对敌人飞机最有力的回应。
