The battery charge is enough for the tug to operate for about two hours. The device is equipped with a large propeller that drives it.

 It is most suitable for combat swimmers from counter-sabotage forces and assets (PDSS) units, and can also be used in surface and underwater robotics. The tug allows you to develop a speed of four knots (7.4 km/h).

Earlier www1.ru reported that the main advantages of the BMD-4M for foreign customers have been named.
