A heavy BTR B-10 armored personnel carrier has been developed for the Russian military on the tracked chassis of the Kurganets-25 infantry fighting vehicle (IFV). The armored vehicle is equipped with advanced dynamic protection (DZ) modules, providing equivalent resistance to tandem cumulative warheads of about 600-750 mm.
In safe maneuvering angles up to 45 degrees, the protection of the side armor plates from all types of hand-held anti-tank grenade launchers is ensured.
Also, a Cactus DZ kit was developed for the BTR B-10, which provides coverage of the side projections of the armored vehicle hull. Thanks to it, the lower and upper frontal parts of the hull are reliably protected from armor-piercing fin-stabilized discarding sabot projectiles M919. Instead of the Boomerang-BM combat module, a module with a 12.7-mm NSVT machine gun was installed on the B-10.
The armor protection of this vehicle may significantly exceed that of the M2A2 ODS-SA Bradley IFV. Moreover, in comparison with the M2A2, the BTR B-10 has the crankcases of the final drives recessed into the armor dimension, which protects them from 12.7-mm and 14.5-mm armor-piercing bullets. The personnel of the Russian Armed Forces are waiting for the appearance of these vehicles in motorized rifle units today.
Characteristics of BTR B-10:
- Combat weight - 25 t
- Engine power - 750 hp
- Vehicle crew - 3 people, capacity - 8 paratroopers
- Power reserve - 800 km
