First of all, the modernization affected the armament - instead of the outdated 73-mm Grom cannon, a modern combat module with a 30-mm 2A72 automatic cannon, stabilized in two planes, was installed. Thanks to it, the crew confidently hits both ground and low-flying aerial targets, including helicopters and drones.

A modern combined sight is used to improve shooting accuracy even on the move.

The new version of the combat reconnaissance vehicle is equipped with a UTD-20S1 diesel engine with a capacity of 300 hp, providing a range of up to 550 km and a maximum speed of up to 65 km/h.
