Judging by the photo published on social networks, we have a version with the MB2-04 combat compartment.
The main armament is the well-known rapid-fire 30-mm 2A42 gun, currently also used on the BMP-2, BMD-2, BMPT, BMPT-72 and Mi-28N and Ka-52 fire support helicopters. This weapon allows you to destroy not only ground, but also air targets.
There are also two machine guns: 7.62-mm PKTM and 12.7-mm "Cord". It is possible to install an AG-17 automatic grenade launcher.
Accurate shooting in motion is provided by a two-plane electromechanical stabilizer, and the use of a complex of weapons at night is provided by a special laser spotlight.
The "shot" holds nine military personnel. Diesel engine power-240 hp. Maximum speed on the highway - 90 km/h. Power reserve - 1100 km. The curb weight is 12,000 kg.
Armored vehicles of earlier versions have been used in the SAR since October 2015 and have proven themselves well during combat operations.
Currently, K-43269 serve in the power structures of Kazakhstan. They were recently used during the operational and tactical exercise "Kalkan-2021".
