Ukraine plans to sell India 100 BTR-4

I'm still dubious whether this will ever happen. It's come out of no where and if the IA was going to buy they'd buy in much larger numbers than 100 also the FICV calls for a very similar product.

Read the article carefully ... Its just meant for UN operations. India already operates wheeled FICV. But it doesnt suit Indian conditions so will not be brought in huge numbers.

FICV will have tracked and wheeled versions. This is mandated for be FICV program.

Futuristic is only the gun station, but an IFV with glass front and side doors? That's defenitely old school!

BTR-4 does not have side doors.

BTR-4 does not have side doors.

I meant these for the crew, which obviously will compromise on amor of the front section, compared to current generation of IFVs like the Striker, AMV, or Boxer GTK, or even TATAs offer in FICV:

As I said, anybody can offer us arms, but that doesn't mean we will take it.

Presented arms merged into a single fire control system, created as Ukrainian developers.

According to the Ministry of Defence, the BTR-4E is available on the world market. So, the car is already purchasing a number of countries in the Middle East. The Ministry of Defence expects that in the future, and other countries will be interested in the BTR-4E. To meet the global demand for such equipment Ministry plans to let bids in different versions and trim levels, allowing it to be a universal platform. According to analysts, the global market for light armored vehicles now stands at more than $ 10 billion.

BTR rubbish personel carriers

Confusing old Russian BTR 70-80-90 and new Urkrainian BTR4?

Also, the BTR-80 8x8 armoured personnel carrier, manufactured by the Arzamas machinery Construction Plant of Nizhny Novgorod, Russia, is in service with the Ukraine and has been sold to Hungary, Turkey, Macedonia and Bangladesh.

It is a recycled BMP-2 hull! If the tracked BMP/2 wasn´t already a deathtrap, this hideous wheeled contraption surely is.
