Poroshenko announced the creation of an armored personnel carrier in accordance with NATO standards in Ukraine
According to Poroshenko, the BTR-4МВ1 is enhanced with an optical-electronic sight with a powerful thermal imager and a high-precision digital firing system.
According to the Ukroboronprom, the new armored vehicle can carry up to seven military men, and the crew consists of three people - the driver, the commander and the gunner. The BTR is equipped with an American automatic transmission that allows you to comfortably maneuver, and several video cameras provide all-round visibility.
The new combat vehicle was created on the basis of the BTR-4, which is used by the Ukrainian military in the force operation zone in the Donbas. The designers refined the frontal part of the BTR and made other changes in accordance with the latest trends in the development of NATO armored vehicles. In particular, the developers used the modular design of body armor and made extensive use of spaced armor, which allows them to quickly replace elements of the upper layer of armor in the field. At the same time, according to experts, increasing the security of the BTR led to an increase in its mass by two to three tons to 24-25 tons.
