The first 10 airborne BMD-4М airborne combat vehicles will arrive in the Airborne Forces (VDV) in the second half of 2013. Commander of the Airborne Forces, Colonel-General Vladimir Shamanov announced this at the end of 2012.

According to him, the airborne can get upgraded fourth-generation combat vehicles in June-July 2013. “The Minister of Defense agreed to the production of 2013 BMD-10М and 4 multifunctional armored personnel carriers Rakushka for the first half of 10,” said Vladimir Shamanov.

This was reported by the management of the press service and information Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation.

“The Cockleshell armored personnel carrier on a tracked base will become a model vehicle for all special airborne vehicles,” the airborne commander explained.

The Airborne Forces already have prototypes of equipment based on the Rakushka armored personnel carrier, they have proven themselves in the units of radiation, chemical and biological protection, medical units of the Airborne Forces.


The Commander of the Airborne Forces does not exclude the possibility of equipping reconnaissance and special units of paratroopers with lightly armored vehicles.

According to the commander, the Airborne Forces are actively interacting with manufacturers of domestic automotive armored vehicles for the development of segments of intelligence, control, electronic warfare. “By virtue of their specific actions, they move more along highways than on roads, and should have greater mobility,” explained Vladimir Shamanov.

Having received the new BMD-4M and armored personnel carriers, the paratroopers are planning to carry out their troop tests in the second half of 2013 to complete the work on adopting the new equipment for the Airborne Forces.

      So how much time was lost, while they were proving to two fools in the person of Makarov and Serdyukov that they would take a car to the Airborne Forces. In fact, four years was down the drain from a couple of clowns.

        Regarding the long history of adoption, it is hardly likely that it smacks of patriotism and love for the motherland. Someone at the top interests of the hands to warm up in transactions with purchases of foreign weapons, others have the same goal, but with the purchase of domestic equipment. And she meets modern conditions or is outdated, it hardly worries anyone

          This is a photo table of various modifications and trial lots to support artillery fire with the Airborne Forces.

          It’s clear that if they occupied a high-rise on the flank or behind enemy lines, and artillery arrived in a few days or did not arrive at all, this BMD with a 152-mm howitzer was planned for these things.

      they are probably handmade from gold - faster would come to close this topic (stupid)

      it is necessary to completely change the structure of the Airborne Forces - add army aviation, drone detachment, new transport

      And they are all about these unfortunate bmd4m - by the way, it’s not the fact that the Kurganmashzavod will hand them over

        Shamanov in his interview clearly speaks about EXPERIENCED operation to determine the full suitability and verification of the BMD-4M for the conditions of the Airborne Forces. For trial operation is no longer necessary. Satisfy all requirements, full state will go. order.

        Yes, and at the same time it is only: ".... The Airborne Forces can receive upgraded combat fourth generation machines ... "
        Most likely, this was the reason for the refusal to purchase them
        Yes, it has been tested, but it has been tested, but with the old "sores", albeit with new "trinkets".
        It would be nice, in a year, to announce an INDEPENDENT analysis of the results of the operation of this equipment in the troops.

    Honestly, the news evokes mixed feelings. On the one hand, they finally started delivering. On the other hand - a ridiculous amount of 10 pcs. Further, on the one hand, a new generation. but on the other hand - as it was a tin can, it remained, only the cannon was shoved more powerful, although it will continue to burn and fail from hits from a heavy machine gun and sniper rifles.

    Unloading of the compartment also takes place through the stern (classic airborne forces) and in front there is a standard place for a mechanic and someone else nearby, 10 pieces are certainly nothing! only 1 company and all ... but the news is repeated the fifth time apparently so that the number multiplied in the mind))
    Still it is necessary to teach the people "to euspluatirovat correctly", pennies with deuces will not be mastered by tovarischi conscripts (burn in hell The main clutch)) who fumbles will understand in general. Usually we like to define such a technique in the repository and put people on them in absentia, but whether they know how to drive or not, no one cares. It would be necessary to radically revise the teaching methods when driving such machines.

    IMHO VDV received the wrong vector of development. Soviet Marshal Voronov, recalling the war, wrote in his memoirs: "It must be said with great regret that we, the pioneers of the airborne assault, had no reasonable plans to use it." Vyazemskaya and other operations showed that only small sabotage subunits have a chance of success when landing behind enemy lines. The larger the landing, the more difficult it is for him to solve operational-tactical tasks. "

    Interestingly, the problem that the BMP-3 had was solved. When shooting from 2A70, the tower pulls to the left, from 2A72 to the right. The blame for the bracket pairing the guns is that the laws of mechanics work further
