At the training ground of the Moscow Military District, retraining courses for crews of BMP-3 infantry fighting vehicles have been completed, the Russian Ministry of Defence reported. Service members of motor rifle units underwent training in two key specialties: squad commander on the BMP-3 and gunner-operator.
During the training, the soldiers practiced modern combat tactics as part of a crew, interaction with other units, and methods of countering enemy unmanned aerial vehicles. Training firing exercises were also conducted using all types of weapons mounted on the combat vehicles.
Earlier, www1.ru reported that the Russian military had received a new batch of BMP-3 infantry fighting vehicles with enhanced protection and modern EW systems. The designers reinforced the underbody protection against blasts and increased the anti-fragmentation resistance of the armor in the front and rear sections. The upgrades are aimed at improving the effectiveness and protection of the equipment in combat conditions.
