| Manul |
The newest Russian infantry fighting vehicle (BMP) Manul, developed by Kurganmashzavod specialists, can receive the Epoch module with a 57-millimeter cannon. At the same time, the vehicle is being developed taking into account the experience gained by the Russian military during the use of armored vehicles in the special military operation zone in Ukraine.
The Manul infantry fighting vehicle is a universal platform capable of carrying various weapons, including multiple launch rocket systems (MLRS) and anti—aircraft missile systems (SAM). In addition, Manul can act as a base for creating various special machines.
The new infantry fighting vehicle initially has a reserve for a possible improvement in security (reservation) and an increase in payload. At the same time, various modernization options make it possible to expand the range of Manula applications. The forward position of the UTD-32T engine will allow the crew and troops to more conveniently enter the infantry fighting vehicle through the rear ramp, as well as facilitate the loading of ammunition and cargo into the vehicle. The Manula engine has 816 horsepower, and its combat module includes a 30-millimeter cannon, a machine gun, and Kornet anti-tank missiles.
Improvements for Manula
The projected vehicle will be protected from small-caliber shells and fragments of field artillery, and will also be able to move in any road conditions, including overcoming water obstacles without training.
In addition, Manul may receive a new Epoch combat module with a 57mm automatic cannon. It will allow infantry fighting vehicles at long distances to reliably hit similar enemy vehicles with artillery fire. The use of modern 57 mm caliber ammunition will ensure the fulfillment of a wider range of tasks. The unified technical base and unification of components with the BMP-3 reduces costs at all stages of the product's life cycle: development, manufacturing, personnel training, operation and repair.
