• APFSDS (Armor-Piercing Fin-Stabilized Discarding Sabot)
• HEAT (High-Explosive Anti-Tank)
• MPAT (Multi-Purpose Anti-Tank)
• Programmable smart munitions
Additionally, the vehicle is equipped with a coaxial 12.7mm machine gun, a 7.62mm RCWS (Remote-Controlled Weapon Station), and an anti-tank guided missile (ATGM) launcher to enhance its effectiveness against heavily armored vehicles.
Capacity and Performance

Powered by a 1,200 hp turbocharged diesel engine, the vehicle can reach a maximum speed of 80 km/h on highways and 60 km/h off-road. It has an operational range of 600 km on a single fuel refill.
Technology and Systems
MAGIC is equipped with advanced electronic systems, including:
• Automatic Fire Control System with ballistic sensors and thermal imaging to improve targeting accuracy.
• Digital Command & Control System enabling real-time communication with other combat units.
• NBC (Nuclear, Biological, Chemical) protection to counter non-conventional warfare threats.
Implementation and Usage
MAGIC is specifically designed to meet the demands of modern military operations, including conventional warfare, urban operations, and counter-insurgency missions. The vehicle is expected to be a reliable and versatile mechanized unit produced by BGC, appealing to nations seeking highly capable armored vehicle solutions.
With its innovative features, the LBBMP-125A3/MAGIC is projected to become one of the most formidable combat vehicles in the global defense industry market.
