Zitat:Russia Begins Trials of New BT-3F Combat Vehicle to Boost Amphibious Warfare Capabilitieshttps://armyrecognition.com/focus-analys...evelopment
On May 20, 2025, the Russian state corporation Rostec announced via its Telegram account that the BT-3F amphibious armored personnel carrier (APC), developed on the chassis of the BMP-3F, entered the stage of state trials. These tests follow the completion of preliminary trials in 2022 and will validate the BT-3F’s stated performance across various environments, both on land and in water. The trials include live-fire assessments while the vehicle is stationary, in motion, and afloat, and will evaluate its mobility, combat system reliability, and environmental tolerance. [...]
The BT-3F is a tracked, fully amphibious armored vehicle with a declared combat weight between 18.5 and 18.9 tonnes. Its chassis measures 7 to 7.15 meters in length, with a width between 3.15 and 3.3 meters, and a height of approximately 3 meters. The ground clearance is 450 mm. The vehicle is powered by a UTD-29 or UTD-29T four-stroke, multi-fuel, direct-injection diesel engine with an output of 450 to 500 horsepower, using a dry sump lubrication system. This engine allows a top road speed of 70 km/h, a water speed of 10 km/h, and an operational range of 600 kilometers. The vehicle remains buoyant for up to seven hours in sea conditions of up to three Beaufort scale points. It features a hydromechanical four-speed transmission, torsion bar suspension, and hydraulic shock absorbers. The BT-3F can be transported via IL-76 and An-124 aircraft, by ship or rail, and even under-slung by a Mi-26 helicopter.
