Russia's Tractor Plants Concern is developing a new amphibious tracked armoured personnel carrier (APC) called the BT-3F, a defence industry source told IHS Jane's. The new APC is intended for the use by naval infantry/ marine units. "The Tractor Plants Concern is finishing designing the BT-3F APC in order to exhibit its demonstrator at the Army 2016 military-technical forum outside Moscow in September 2016. The vehicle may partially replace the BTR-80 APC of Russia's naval infantry. We suppose that the Ministry of Defence (MoD) will take a close look on the new vehicle at the forum," the source said.
