Following some challenges again eh 😅

I just saw the news that Indonesia said they wanted to buy BT-3F (but the pict is just Russian) so why not make it for Indonesian marines one 😅

HISTORY
The BT-3F is a new Russian tracked armored personnel carrier. Its development began in 2010. It is based on a BMP-3F infantry fighting vehicle with improved amphibious capabilities. It lacks turret of the BMP-3F, but has a raised superstructure, similar to that of the 1V172-2 artillery control vehicle. The BT-3F was designed for the Russian naval infantry units. Once in service it could partly replace a fleet of BTR-80 series 8x8 armored personnel carriers, used by the Russian naval infantry units. A demonstrator of the BT-3F was first publicly revealed in 2016. It is unclear if the Russian Navy will adopt this armored vehicle. The BT-3F is also being proposed for export customers. In 2019 Indonesia ordered 21 of these armored vehicles for its naval infantry. Deliveries were planned to be completed in 2021-2022. In 2020 Indonesian MoD approved procurement of another 79 BT-3F vehicles. This would bring the total number to 100.
