The new Kurganets-25 comes in two main tracked variants - the BTR and BMP. Both are armoured personnel carriers, but the BMP has more powerful guns and firing systems.

The guns are remote-controlled and separated from the crew and infantry.

Jane's reports that the Kurganets-25 can be fitted with a 57mm or 30mm cannon.

The new design will replace the Russian army's Soviet-era BTRs and BMPs
