The Russian BT-3F armored personnel carrier is based on the BMP-3 infantry fighting vehicle and has high speed and maneuverability characteristics.
For example, the maximum speed on the highway is 70 km/ h, when crossing water obstacles - 10 km/ h. When the sea waves are up to three points, the APC can swim for up to 7 hours. The fuel reserve is 600 km.

The capacity is up to 12 people, plus two crew members. Taking into account the current realities, the security of the vehicle has been increased due to the introduction of additional armored screens and anti-fog grilles.
The APC's firepower has increased dramatically. To do this, a launcher of the famous Kornet anti-tank missiles was installed on it.

With powerful tandem warheads, these ATGMs can destroy any modern tank, be it the Abrams M1 of various modifications or various versions of the Leopard 2, not to mention the Bradley, Marder or CV90 infantry fighting vehicles. A modern panoramic commander's sight is installed for the use of such weapons. There are also two PKTM machine guns for fighting infantry.
