During the Zapad-2021 exercise, a battalion was parachuted for the first time using the latest BMD-4M amphibious assault vehicles, the Defense Ministry reported. Military expert Viktor Litovkin on the air of Sputnik radio spoke about the unique qualities of this machine.

The airborne troops of the Russian Federation for the first time parachuted a battalion on the latest combat vehicles of the landing, RIA Novosti reported. It is noted that the landing was carried out during the main stage of the joint strategic exercises "West-2021" at the Mulino training ground in the Nizhny Novgorod region.

The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation clarified that the landing was carried out simultaneously on two landing sites from Il-76MD military transport aircraft of the Russian Aerospace Forces.

In total, more than 300 servicemen of the Russian Airborne Forces, 20 Indian servicemen and more than 30 of the latest BMD-4M amphibious assault vehicles were landed as part of the operational-tactical landing.

On the air of Sputnik radio, TASS military observer, retired Colonel Viktor Litovkin noted that the BMD-4M is a powerful means of supporting the landing force in the offensive.

"This amphibious assault vehicle has, among other weapons, a powerful 100-millimeter barrel, can fire not only conventional, but also anti-tank guided projectiles. Its speed on the road is up to 40-50 kilometers per hour, on the road-up to 70-80 kilometers. This machine can also float, it can be controlled remotely. The car is well armored, " Viktor Litovkin said.

He added that the landing of the BMD-4M was carried out earlier, but for this the military transport plane had to land, after which the cars rolled out on the ground.

"Now that the car has been prepared for parachuting, this, of course, speeds up the landing process and makes it more efficient," the military expert concluded.
