In the Russian Federation, the production line of the latest BBM "Kurganet-25" was lit: what is known about the project (photo)

In 2015, a series of armored vehicles with the "mound" were shown with Armat in Moscow. Since then, the Russian army has never received either T-14 or BBM in order except research parties. Russian propagandists showed the production facilities of the Mound Machine -Building Plant. The shots were noticed by the BBM "Kurganet-25". It is reported by Defense Blog. One of the frames was noticed the corps of a combat armored car "Kurganet-25", which made its debut in 2015 at a parade in Moscow.

The car was to replace the Soviet BMP, but production was delayed for a number of reasons. The development itself began in the early 2000s. The need for a new machine was explained by the fact that the Russian Federation needed a new generation armored vehicle. At first, the Russian Federation was planned to receive a surgical party for test operation in 2015, and from 2017 full -scale production production began to begin.

The Research Party has come to the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, but it seems that it has come only in Russia only now. It should be noted that the tank specialist Andrey Tarasenko believes that BBM "Kurganet" has a chance to go to the series, but not in the near future. The developer of the Kurganet-25 platform is the Tractor Plant Concern, and the manufacturer "Kurganshmashmashzavod".

Initially, it was planned that the BBM would receive a Russian-French engine that had to work together with Renault. However, the French company came out of development through annexation of Crimea in 2014. The BMP "Kurganet" was to become a new generation of weapons for the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation as well as the T-14 T-14 "Armata", BTR "Boomerang", SUA "Koalicia-SV" and other equipment.
