New airborne assault vehicle rolled out

摘要

The latest member of Russia's BMD family of airborne assault vehicles was shown for the first time at RAE 2013 in Nizhny Tagil in late September. The new vehicle is designated BTR-MDM and is a further development of the BTR-MD, which features a raised superstructure at the front of the hull to provide a significant increase in internal volume. This enables it to be used as an armoured personnel carrier and has also seen the vehicle adopted for other specialised missions, including command post, ambulance, and logistics variants.
