The first data on the use of such equipment in this hot spot were published in October 2015. Then K-43269 and their reconnaissance modifications "Dozor" were often used in various operations, including during the fighting in the Palmyra area.
It was reported that, like most Russian models of military equipment, these armored vehicles have proven to be reliable and easy to operate.
Their mass is about 10,500 kg. The crew consists of two people. As weapons, it is possible to use 7.62-mm PKT, 12.7-mm "Cord" and 30-mm automatic grenade launchers AG-17 "Flame".
Diesel engine power-240 hp Maximum speed on the highway - 90 km/h. Fuel reserve-1100 km.
More heavily armed versions were created with 14.5-mm KPVT and small-caliber automatic guns.
In the spring of last year, it became known about the version of the "Shot" with an uninhabited combat module with a 30-mm gun installed on it, developed by the Nizhny Novgorod Central Research Institute "Burevestnik".
