Sweet.
This would be a sweet light attacker.
I think we could get quite a few of them since they’re all equipped with different capabilities, not that we need all of them, but each one will likely have different BR’s.
BMP-3M Dragoon | BR 9.7-10.3
- Thermals for Commander and Gunner.
- Unique changes and applique armor.
- 3UBR8 APDS or 3UBR11 APFSDS-T (not available at the time but could be a possibility and affects BR).
- Prototype vehicle.
BMP-3 w/ 688A-C66-2KP | BR 9.7
- 688A-C66-2KP cage armor addon.

Isn’t that the classic BMP-3 module with CITV added?
edit -
Yep, its the classic BMP-3 module. Bakhcha-U ejects propellant stubs out the back of the turret, the classic one out the top.

Thanks for the correction. I thought so but I grabbed the image from a source that said it was the B-module while I was on break from work real quick. I’ll adjust it shortly.
The original BMP-3 with the Bakhcha-U module would only be like 9.0-9.3 since it only has 3UBR8 as its best round and would be comparable to the existing BMD-4. The BMD-4M would be 9.7 since it would have 3UBR11 APFSDS-T.

Why russia didn’t install any AGMs on it? Wouldn’t AGMs be more efficient than guided bombs on a sub sonic platform?
weight probably, you get a bigger warhead per total mass with a guided bomb compared to an AGM where you also need to package fuel
But AGM has more range compared to a guided bomb dropped from a sub sonic jet. AGMs would give the jet some time to go into defensive position.
More than likely can use those weapons, looks like a weapons expo
“the body is round” XD

Adding onto this, has anyone heard anything new on the BMP-3 ‘Manul’? I heard it was as supposed to be in production but nothing came of it as far as I know.
They want to make an uodated version with better protection against drones, basically to give it cage armour, maybe more depending on what army wants from it.
Additionally, I dont know if to believe it for not, but they noted the vehicle will UTD-32T engine producing 816 HP.
And about it’s future: it hasnt been even tested yet, but army seems to be interested in it, hence the reason for updated version.
But for certain they’re not accepting it anytime close during the war and it the testing itself can take several years. I am hopeful it gets accepted, but that’s it for now.

A light attacker is not going to operate in a threat enviornment. It is not going to need to go defensive because it is dropping bombs on dudes with AKs in Hiluxs
it’s first developes for export, now the army are considering it, but changing the producting line needs time and money, so you know the rest
