| Source measurement | The BTR-4 is a more flexible design than the older BTR-60/70/80s, as the altered layout makes it easier to adapt the vehicle to specialized roles. The vehicle can be armed according to customer requirements. The prototype is armed with the locally designed New Armament Module, which consists of one 30mm 2A72 automatic cannon, a 7.62mm coaxial machine-gun, up to four 9P135M Konkurs or Baryer anti-tank missiles (two on each side of the turret), and one 30mm automatic grenade launcher (fitted in place of the AT missiles on one left-hand side of the turret). It can be fitted with different turret weapons modules including the GROM module, PARUS module, SHTURM-M module, SHKVAL module, and the BAU 23x2 module.[source]BTR-4 · Description; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage The BTR-4 has a maximum speed of 110 km/h. It can cross water obstacles at a speed of 10 km/h. The vehicle is powered by a 3TD diesel engine with 500 hp. There are reports of vehicles being hit by several RPG rounds and multiple small-arms fire with no consequences. Slat armor can be fitted for maximum protection against RPG attacks.[source]BTR-4 · Description; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage Armament: 1× 30 mm 2A72 automatic cannon 1× 7.62 mm coaxial machinegun 4× 9P135M Konkurs or Baryer AT missiles (optional 1× 30 mm automatic grenade launcher with reduction to 2× AT missiles)[source]BTR-4 · Weapons modules; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage Armament: 1× 30 mm automatic cannon 1× 30 mm automatic grenade launcher 1× 7.62 mm coaxial machine gun 4× 9P135M Konkurs or Baryer AT missiles[source]BTR-4 · Weapons modules; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage Armament: 1× 30 mm automatic cannon 1× 7.62 mm coaxial machine gun 4× 9P135M Konkurs or Baryer AT missiles (optional 1× 30 mm automatic grenade launcher with reduction to 2× AT missiles)[source]BTR-4 · Weapons modules; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage Armament: 2× 23×152 mm automatic cannons 1× 7.62 mm coaxial machine gun[source]BTR-4 · Weapons modules; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage Armament: 1× TKB-01-1 12.7 mm machine gun[source]BTR-4 · Weapons modules; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage Armament: 1× 120 mm cannon 1× 12.7 mm anti-aircraft machine gun (turret ring mount)[source]BTR-4 · Weapons modules; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage | — |
