Russian military personnel have received BMP-3s with a serial add-on dynamic protection kit developed by specialists from the Steel Research Institute (part of the Kalashnikov arms concern).
The next batch of BMP-3s with this body kit was delivered to the troops in early April. Dynamic protection has increased the survivability of combat vehicles in the event of possible attacks from the enemy.
Containers of anti-cumulative armor are fixed on the sides of the hull, in its front part and on the turret of the BMP-3. This increased the weight of the infantry fighting vehicle, but did not affect its mobility. The equipment is able to travel both on the highway and on rough terrain, and overcome water obstacles.
The press service of the Kalashnikov concern explained that the supply of add-on dynamic protection kits based on 4S24 elements for the BMP-3 began in early 2024. The protective characteristics of the body kit were confirmed during tests at the Alabino training ground in the Moscow region.
Earlier it was reported that Rostec increased the supply of BMP-3s to the Russian Armed Forces by one and a half times.
