The Russian BMD-4M airborne combat vehicle, compared to wheeled vehicles, has increased maneuverability on black soil and allows opening a front across a water obstacle. This was reported by the High-Precision Complexes holding (part of the Rostec State Corporation).
Given the high maneuverability of the BMD-4M, they perform assault and sabotage operations where it is necessary to quickly deliver personnel and start working. Especially in areas where black soil prevails. Wheeled vehicles cannot pass there, but a light vehicle like this BMD easily overcomes such areas.
The company added that, in addition to high cross-country ability, the BMD-4 can ford water obstacles. This capability allows opening a front across a water obstacle, which narrows the enemy's defensive potential.
The combat vehicle is armed with a 30 mm automatic cannon, a 100 mm cannon, and a 7.62 mm machine gun. The crew and landing party are 3 crew members and 7 paratroopers with full equipment.
A special feature of the vehicle is a hydropneumatic suspension with adjustable ground clearance from 100 to 500 mm. The BMD-4M has high cross-country ability and is effective in any landscape.
