About BTR-3F (BT-3F) Vehicle

So the issue of the delivery of the BTR-3F is still relevant?

- Yes, this topic remains relevant. These machines were supplied in several batches, and they show themselves very well in the conditions of Indonesia. But what is delivered is delivered. In the future, in addition to the BMP-3F, the new BTR-3F will also be supplied.

In addition, preliminary consultations were held by specialists of the subsidiary Rostec-Tekhmash holding on localization in Indonesia of the production of ammunition for these combat vehicles. That would be logical. But while negotiations were not conducted. There is only a project so far. Again, the timing depends on the will, as well as the availability of funding.
