The BRM-3K "Lynx" combat reconnaissance vehicle, at the time of its adoption, was recognized by many military specialists and experts as one of the best in the world in its class. equipped with the most modern equipment.
It was already back in 1995. It was assumed that this technique would replace the BRM-1K, created on the basis of infantry fighting vehicles BMP-1, which had served in the troops since 1973.
The crew of 6 people had perfect equipment at that time, for example, a thermal imager with a vision range of up to 3000 m.
There was also a radar station with a maximum detection distance of 12,000, including a tank detected at a distance of 10,000 m, and infantry - 4,000 m.

Like the basic BMP-3, the Lynx has good mobility and maneuverability characteristics. The maximum speed on the highway is 70 km/h. It is possible to force water barriers by swimming. The power reserve on the highway is 600 km .
Armament: 2A72 30-mm automatic cannon with 600 rounds of ammunition, 7.62 mm PKT machine gun with 2000 rounds of ammunition, four anti-tank guided missiles. Combat weight - 19,600 kg.
The BRM-3K "Lynx", like many samples created in the 90s, was very unlucky - they appeared when the state simply did not have the money to carry out mass purchases. At the same time, when the money appeared, there was a need for modernization, because for a quarter of a century a lot of new, more advanced equipment appeared.
