Army-2017: Tractor Plants modernises BMD-4M

23 August 2017
Russia's Tractor Plants Concern has showcased the BMD-4M
airborne infantry fighting vehicle (IFV) upgraded with the new Sinitsa
(Titmouse) combat compartment at the Army-2017 international military-technical
exhibition held outside Moscow from 22–27 August.
The Sinitsa is essentially a modernised BMP-3 IFV combat
module modified to fit the BMD-4M. It has retained the powerful armament suite
of the basic model, comprising a 100 mm 2A70 gun/launcher, with 40
high-explosive fragmentation rounds (including 22 stored in the autoloader) and
four anti-tank guided missiles (including three in the autoloader); a 30 mm
2A72 automatic cannon with an ammunition load of 500 rounds; and a 7.62 PKTM
medium machine gun with an ammunition load of 2,000 rounds.
The modernised BMD-4M is designed to transport airborne
troops and to conduct fire support. The vehicle is equipped with an automated
digital round-the-clock jamming-resistant fire-control system with an automatic
target tracking device. The BMD-4M’s chassis has received a digital management
device.
