It was used as a target tug but afaik it didn’t lose the ability to carry weapons, they even made a variant with a small jet engine strapped to the roof

Is this a testbed for the engine?

some 685 design concept?
More like a project. I have yet found more info or ifit was in metal yet.
While BMP-3 was in development three options were suggested: this with 76MM autocannon and ATGM was the first.
Second would be the 45MM autocannon with caseless telescopic APDSFS.
That version never existed in metal, however idea of such cannon with ammunition wasnt forgotten and shown interest and development in 2011 & 2019.
Third version would be the first one to be produced, tested and because of this coupled with it being better for the vehicle and armarment options it would continue its development cycle into BMP-3.

I believe other missiles can also be used in a similar fashion, weapons like ALARM, R-27P/EP though the last two are strictly passive radar homing which means they use the targets radar emissions to target them, similar to anti radiation missiles.

Yes, pretty sure thats the gun that was shown in 2019.

Who made that image probably just have mistaken, because by the text it’s supposed to be R-27P.
