Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] The BT-3F floating armored personnel carrier, created on the basis of the BMP-3 by specialists from the High-Precision Systems holding, has entered the state testing stage. This was reported by the press service of the Rostec state corporation in the Telegram channel.

It is noted that the armored personnel carrier is designed to transport units of the Naval Infantry of the Coastal Troops and units of the ground forces. It can provide fire support to dismounted troops under any combat conditions.

β€œThe equipment must confirm the specified tactical and technical characteristics on land and in water in various climatic zones, and also undergo firing tests from a stationary position, on the move and afloat,” the statement said.

Rostec specified that the BT-3F can transport up to 12 fully equipped paratroopers. The vehicle is equipped with a remotely controlled combat module with a machine gun and an automatic grenade launcher, and also has a towing hitch for towing trailers.

Earlier, the company "High Precision Systems" reported that the improvements that are being made to the appearance of the BMP-3 as a result of the vehicle's participation in a special operation in Ukraine will be implemented in the BMP-3F and BT-3F. The production of the basic "land" BMP-3 was increased several times against the background of the SVO. In particular, in the first quarter of 2023 alone, the Ministry of Defense was supplied with as many units of equipment as in the whole of 2019.
