tion is optional. For enhanced anti-mine survivability<br />
of the infantry squad, their seats are suspended<br />
from the ceiling rather than being bolted<br />
to the floor as in previous designs. The layout<br />
of BTR-4MV, as is the case with the BTR-4E, allows<br />
for adding slat armor for enhanced protection<br />
against thin-walled RPG-type threats.<br />
Accurate weight figures for BTR-4MV have<br />
not been disclosed other than that the weight will<br />
be in the region of 17.5+3% t with standard bullet-proof<br />
armor protection kit and increase to<br />
21.9+3% t with additional protection. It would be<br />
expected with a high degree of probability that<br />
the vehicle will be in the 19t category.<br />
The vehicle has three options for powerplant<br />
-– indigenous 3TD-series diesel, German Deutz<br />
and Italian Iveco. The BTR-4E, as is well known,<br />
is powered by 400hp three-cylinder 3TD-2 diesel<br />
engine integrated with an automatic hydrokinetic<br />
transmission, allowing for speeds of up to<br />
90 kmph on smooth off-road terrains. The BTR-<br />
4MV showcased at IDEX-2013 is equipped with<br />
a six-cylinder Deutz BF6M1015CP diesel engine<br />
rated at 450hp/330kW that allows the vehicle to<br />
travel at up to 110 kmph to the maximum range<br />
of 670 kilometers per charge. In terms of maneuverability<br />
and cross-country performance capabilities,<br />
the BTR-4MV is not too much dissimilar<br />
from the BTR-4E. Furthermore, as claimed<br />
by the designer, the BTR-4MV, even with heavier<br />
armor protection than seen in the BTR-4E,<br />
still retained its swim capability at
