The Military Industrial Company (MIC) carried out a number of improvements to the Boomerang platform, which uses armored personnel carriers and infantry fighting vehicles.

According to the company, they reinforced the armor component when using transport on water. Engineers strengthened the armored hull, thereby improving the buoyancy of the armored personnel carrier and infantry fighting vehicles.

This also increased ergonomics when placing soldiers. Also, additional hinged protection elements were put on the transport, increasing the crew's security.

Boomerang platform fighting vehicles have been in operation since 2015. Prior to improvements, they weighed 34 tons. How much will be after - not yet reported.
