As noted on social media, it was created on the chassis of the most advanced modifications of the T-72 and T-90 tanks, tested in numerous battles during a special military operation.
All experts are convinced of this after a video filmed at the Uralvagonzavod plant appeared on the Internet on Wednesday. This video shows for the first time a heavy infantry fighting vehicle or an armoured personnel carrier; different sources define its class differently.
Although it seems that, depending on the tasks, this model can become both an armored personnel carrier and an infantry fighting vehicle, apparently we are talking about a universal platform, which is analogous to the T-15, but is made on the basis of long-developed main battle tanks.
Previously, highly armoured vehicles for transporting personnel of combined arms units were developed in Nizhny Tagil, Omsk, Chelyabinsk and St. Petersburg, but for various reasons they never reached the troops. Now the army has every chance of finally receiving the tracked vehicle it needs.
