Our armed forces will have new armored personnel carriers. The information about this was announced on Tuesday during a meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Sergey Kogogin, CEO of KamAZ PJSC.
Trials will begin this year, and a pilot batch will be released in 2027.

It is known that this model has reliable armor and enhanced mine protection.
