"The enterprise is shipping the required number of products every month," they noted. The holding's representatives added that the new BMP-3 is adapted to operate in low temperatures, which is important considering the approaching winter.

Each vehicle is equipped with a set of additional protection, consisting of add-on armored screens and slat armor.

The company also demonstrated the process of creating BMP-3 infantry fighting vehicles used in the war against Ukraine. Kurganmashzavod is the only manufacturer of these infantry fighting vehicles in Russia. Armored vehicle hulls are being built in the welding technology shop.

Welders are connecting parts of the future BMP-3: the bottom, side plates, roof, and other elements.
