K-4386 armored vehicle, equipped with a 32V01 combat module, was located by a Ukrainian unmanned systems unit near a defensive line marked by “dragon’s teeth” obstacles
The Armed Forces of Ukraine destroyed a rare Russian K-4386 Typhoon-VDV armored vehicle equipped with a 30 mm automatic cannon, in another episode highlighting the pressure on Moscow’s armored assets in areas close to the line of contact.
According to the released information, the vehicle was identified by the STAR unmanned systems battalion, attached to the Ukrainian Army’s 22nd Separate Mechanized Brigade. The Typhoon-VDV was reportedly abandoned by Russian forces near a Ukrainian defensive line marked by “dragon’s teeth”, anti-tank obstacles used to hinder mechanized advances.
The hit vehicle belongs to the Typhoon-VDV family, developed on the protected KamAZ-4386 platform with a 4×4 configuration. It is considered a relatively uncommon vehicle within the Russian inventory, designed to provide mobility, protection, and firepower to airborne units and rapid-response formations.
According to the available details, the destroyed example was fitted with the 32V01 combat module, armed with a 30 mm 2A42 automatic cannon and a 7.62 mm PKTM machine gun. This setup significantly increases the platform’s firepower, allowing it to engage light targets, fortified positions, and infantry more effectively.
Inside the vehicle, the system includes an operator station equipped with a control panel, an onboard ballistic computer, and a remote control unit. The interface displays service information, video feeds, fire correction parameters, and subsystem status data for the combat module, reinforcing the vehicle’s technological profile.
The destruction of this type of vehicle draws attention not only because of its onboard armament, but also because of the relative rarity of the configuration observed on the battlefield. In a conflict increasingly shaped by drones, guided munitions, and real-time reconnaissance, specialized and less numerous armored vehicles tend to become high-value targets.
