Russian BT-3F amphibious combat vehicle in final trial stage

Russian state-owned industrial conglomerate Rostec has announced that the country’s new BT-3F amphibious armored personnel carrier is now in its final stage of preliminary trials.

According to a report by TASS News Agency, the cutting-edge combat vehicle is approaching the end of trials, scheduled to last another 12 months.

Rostec stated that the BT-3F underwent firing tests to demonstrate its resistance to external impacts, including those caused by conventional armaments. Its amphibious capabilities have also been sea tested.

The developer is preparing for the vehicle’s serial production, which will begin after trials and a contract with the Russian military is signed.
