BMD-4M Russia Combat Vehicle of the Airborne troops

The B.M.D-4M airborne combat vehicle is an improved version of the B.M.D-4. It has new chassis and a number of improvements over its predecessor. The BMD-4M was revealed in 2008. The first batch of 8 vehicles was delivered to the Russian air assault divisions in 2014. The BMD-4M was officially adopted in 2016. In 2018 a larger batch of 132 vehicles was ordered for delivery in 2018 -2020. This combat vehicle is also proposed for export customers. By 2020 Russian military obtained around 200 of these armored vehicles.
This armored vehicle was specially designed for airborne troops. This vehicle is lightly armored but is heavily armed. The B.M.D-4M can be paradropped from medium military cargo aircraft. Once on the ground it acts as an armored transport vehicle and provides fire support for airborne troops.
This airborne combat vehicle has a relatively thin armor due to strict weight requirements. It provides protection only from small arms fire and artillery shell splinters. The B.M.D-4M can be fitted with add-on armor kit for improved protection. Vehicle is also equipped with NBC protection and automatic fire suppression systems.
The B.M.D-4M has light armor, however its powerful weapons give a good chance to engage enemy armored vehicles. The main emphasis is stressed on direct fire support, rather than protection. This vehicle is extremely well armed for its size. The B.M.D-4M has the same armament as its predecessor. It is armed with a 100 mm gun and coaxial 30 mm automatic cannon. The 100 mm gun is fitted with an automatic ammunition loading system. Maximum rate of fire is 10-15 rounds per minute. The 100 mm main gun can also fire Bastion laser-guided anti-tank missiles in the same manner as ordinary projectiles. These missiles have a range of up to 5.5 km and can also target helicopters. The B.M.D-4M is also fitted with new digital fire control system.
This airborne combat vehicle has a crew of two and accommodates 6 troops. Firing ports were deleted in order to increase protection.
The B.M.D-4M has a completely new chassis. It is powered by a more powerful U.T.D-29 diesel engine, developing 500 hp. The same engine is used on the BMP-3 infantry fighting vehicle. It is a more modern and more powerful engine, comparing with the 2V-06 diesel of the B.M.D-3 and B.M.D-4. The B.M.D-4M has improved mobility over its predecessors. This ACV has a hydropneumatic suspension with variable height control. It also allows the vehicle to lean in any direction. Such suspension also allows the vehicle to be paradropped on platforms. The B.M.D-4M is amphibious. On water it is propelled by two waterjets. The Il-76 cargo aircraft can carry two of these ACVs.
