BTR-82AT with unmanned combat module
BTR-82AT with unmanned combat module The combat module is independent of the onboard power supply system. The sight is equipped with own battery; manual power drives are arranged as well. Thus, firing is possible even without electric power supply.
Another feature is that ammunition can be replenished internally, without the crew leaving the vehicle.
Remarkably, application of the unmanned module gave more internal room inside the armored carrier. This allows taking more ammunition aboard or improving comforts of personnel.
"We’ve analyzed everything and found that this module is at least 30% cheaper than all Russian peers, not to mention foreign solutions", said Sergey Suvorov, heading the press service at MIC. "Here at the Army-2020 forum, we’re presenting the renewed BTR for the first time. It will be assessed by our defense minister, by the way. Hopefully, upon his approval, we would proceed with trials. Further, our plan is that the new version of BTR-82AT will excite our international partners".
