The crew of the car is three people, including the driver, commander and gunner. The landing compartment can accommodate up to 10 people on mine-resistant seats. A ramp with a hydraulic drive is mounted in the stern, which allows for quick landing and disembarkation of troops.
The total weight of the armored vehicle ranges from 26 to 36 tons, depending on the configuration of the armor. The LAZANSKI BBM is equipped with a 711 hp Caterpillar C13 engine, aggregated with a 6-speed Allison 4000SP automatic transmission.
The standard set of LAZANSKI equipment includes 6 integrated day / infrared cameras providing a 360 degree view, an intercom system, 10-inch and 12-inch screens for the crew and troops integrated with a programmable video system, an inertial navigation system, a combat control system, a protection system against airborne threats, air conditioning.

The tower allows you to hit targets on the spot and in motion. The fire control system is used to detect, identify targets, as well as guide weapons. The maximum firing range of the 57 mm cannon is 14.5 km.
