According to released information, the delivered vehicles are equipped with additional protection kits designed to guard against aerial drone attacks and high-explosive munitions.
The received BMP-3 and BMD-4M vehicles feature additional protection in the form of armor screens and anti-cumulative grids, which are mounted directly by military personnel in the army units. This design allows the vehicles to be transported on standard cargo platforms, facilitating logistics.
Additionally, each vehicle is equipped with electronic warfare systems, according to the manufacturer. Kurganmashzavod stated that it is fulfilling additional obligations this year by supplying the Russian army with BMP-3s beyond the initially planned volumes. The first batch of BMP-3s in 2024 was delivered in February.
BMP-3 – Infantry Fighting Vehicle
The BMP-3 is an infantry fighting vehicle developed during the Soviet era and remains in use by the Russian Army. Armed with a 100mm cannon, a 30mm automatic cannon, and a 7.62mm PKTM machine gun, the BMP-3 is designed to transport troops to the front lines, enhancing mobility and protection on the battlefield, especially in joint operations with tanks.
BMD-4M – Amphibious Combat Vehicle
The BMD-4M is an amphibious combat vehicle developed for airborne operations, adopted by the Russian Army in April 2016. Designed for troop transport, the BMD-4M offers enhanced mobility and protection in airborne missions.
The delivery of these vehicles strengthens Russia’s military capabilities, with a focus on greater protection and flexibility on the battlefield.
