Many BRDMs are in service. Probably between 1500 and 2000 are currently active.

I would be surprised there are 500 left in active service. You don't see them any more in photos or videos of training maneuvers.

Re: Infantry Mobility Vehicles
This might be the first(?) image of Tigr-M with installed Arbalet-DM RWS in Syria. Possibly be in service with a OBr SpN GU GSh unit - GRU spetsnaz - deployed in the country.

Re: Infantry Mobility Vehicles
Russian defense firm to offer Tigr armored vehicles with enhanced anti-mine protection
The upgraded vehicle’s mine resistance will grow more than three-fold
MOSCOW, July 25. /TASS/. Russia’s Military Industrial Company is completing work on the new generation of Tigr armored vehicles capable of withstanding a blast of 2kg in TNT equivalent under its bottom instead of the current 0.6 kg, the company’s press office told TASS on Wednesday.
"The Tigr armored vehicle is being upgraded for the purpose of increasing its mine resistance to 2kg in TNT equivalent and raising its ballistic resistance to the class 6a under the GOST state technical standards and boosting the vehicle’s carrying capacity to 2 tonnes," the company said.
The previous modification of the Tigr-M vehicle features class 5 armor and provides protection against explosives weighing up to 0.6 kg in TNT equivalent. Therefore, the upgraded vehicle’s mine resistance will grow more than three-fold. The vehicle’s increased carrying capacity will provide a possibility to mount new modules with heavy armament on it.
"The work on the heavy upgrade of the Tigr armored vehicle is being carried out in compliance with the schedule. So far, as we promised, we plan to offer the vehicle this year," the defense manufacturer said.
The class 5 protection shields military hardware against ordinary 7.62mm bullets with the ordinary steel core fired from the SVD sniper rifle within a firing distance of 10 meters. The class 6a ballistic resistance under the GOST standards offers protection against armor-piercing incendiary bullets with the special core fired from the SVD sniper rifle within a firing distance of 10 meters.
According to open sources, Tigr armored vehicles are used by Special Forces and military police in the fight against terrorists in Syria. In such armed conflicts, a serious threat is posed by terrorists’ ambushes with the use of snipers and improvised explosives planted along the routes of military convoys.

They even copied cammo interiors. Didn't anyone tell them that is was not intentional design choice, folks at GAZ just wanted to get rid of some surplus material they had lying around so they used it as anti-spall lining. This is gift that keeps on giving...

“Ural” to Supply Two-Axle Framed Rovers to Russian Army Since 2020
Ural Automobile Plant (member of GAZ Group) is ready to supply the troops with the Ural-53099 four-wheel driven armored vehicles since 2020, an aware insider in defense industry told Mil.Press Today.
The automobile represents the development of bonneted Typhoon-U family. It is a framed vehicle with an armored single-compartment body. It was developed under R&D project Typhoon on designing of an armored rover for airborne troops. Another vehicle created under that project is Typhoon-VDV by JSC Remdiesel.

Re: Infantry Mobility Vehicles
Russia to manufacture next-generation armored vehicle prototype in spring
The Tigr-2 vehicle is being developed taking into account the experience of using Tigr-M vehicles in real combat conditions, including in Syria
MOSCOW, December 14. /TASS/. The first prototype of Russia’s Tigr-2 next-generation armored vehicle being developed by Military Industrial Company will be ready in March-April 2019 after some adjustments ordered by the Defense Ministry, a source in the ministry told TASS on Friday.
"Some requirements for the vehicle have changed and the developer has had to make some adjustments in the design. This has had its effect on the timeframe but not very much. In April, perhaps, in March next year," the source said, without specifying the requirements.
TASS has no official confirmation of this information.

Re: Infantry Mobility Vehicles
Does anyone have a list including approximate numbers of what's A) in service with Russia B) what vehicles ade actually getting produced? seems like an explosion of various vehicles but nothing as to if they are getting produced.
tigr-M(inc dozer, vystrel), bpm-97, bulat, volk, typhoon series, buran and various others. I know vodnik wasn't taken by Russia but still up for export it wasn't that bad a vehicle going by what I've seen but I guess there was better or cheaper elsewhere.

Wasn't the GAZ Vodnik procured a little for the Strategic Missile Troops? Think they have some in service.

VERY few of them are in use. As you said, strategic missile troops as seen in some videos for de-mining (jamming, etc). I have also seen 1 I believe that is in Syria.

Re: Infantry Mobility Vehicles
yes a few were used in syria I heard some were in service with border guards never knew about missile troops. The did shoe case an AD model which actually looked quite good. Russia went from a Italian iveco design to a vast array of other own quite hard to keep track of them all.miketheterrible wrote:flamming_python wrote:d_taddei2 wrote:Does anyone have a list including approximate numbers of what's A) in service with Russia B) what vehicles ade actually getting produced? seems like an explosion of various vehicles but nothing as to if they are getting produced.

Hear are some rough numbers to date:
Tigr - 100
Tigr-M - 400+
Iveco LMV - 400
Typhoon Kamaz - 300+
Typhoon Ural - 200+
Bulat - >100
Vodnik - >50
Scorpian - never seemed to get off the ground
Coming:
Tigr-2
Volk

Re: Infantry Mobility Vehicles
Challenging fire: a new combat vehicle has been developed for aircraft pilots
The first armored vehicles capable of providing target designation of aviation, sent to Syria
April 24, 2019 00:01
Roman Kretzul Aleksey Ramm
Specialists performing the guidance of strike aircraft will receive new military equipment. A combat aircraft carrier aircraft (BOMAN) can detect enemy targets, target, as well as control airplanes and helicopters over the battlefield. Thanks to her, work on the front line will be safer, and the accuracy of targeting is much higher. The first samples of BOMAN have already been sent to Syria for testing in difficult climatic conditions, several well-informed sources in the military have told Izvestia. When experience has been gained, the developers will make the necessary design changes, and the vehicle will begin to be delivered to the troops.
The combat equipment for aircraft pilots was created on the basis of the Tigr armored car, the Izvestia interlocutors clarified. This is a spacious and manoeuvrable machine with a high level of mine protection. Previously, BOMAN was developed on the basis of the BTR-80 armored personnel carrier and the MT LB tractor, however, these samples did not receive distribution in the army. And in the conditions of the desert, taking into account the nature of the modern battle - an intense, transient, with a constantly changing situation - the "Tigers" turned out to be indispensable for performing a number of specific tasks. They are actively used by special forces, sappers and staff officers. Aviation planners were no exception.

Re: Infantry Mobility Vehicles
Everyone will sit down: the “Drone assassin” has entered into the RVSN
Strategic missile forces received the latest means of destroying drones
Roman Kretzul Aleksey Ramm
The complex, designed to protect strategic missile forces (RVSN) from drone attacks, has been tested and since the beginning of this year has already begun to enter the troops, the Defense Ministry told Izvestia. The complex comes in two versions: mobile and stationary. Mobile systems cover Topol-M and Yars strategic missile systems, and fixed installations protect mine-based missiles, including the modern Avant-garde hypersonic missiles.
New technology is able to interfere with and intercept the management of drones. The complex includes a radar, a radio intelligence unit (RTR) and equipment for jamming. The radar is configured specifically to detect small-flying low-flying targets and is able to “see” the drone even at altitude. Using RTR, the operator can intercept signals that the UAV exchanges with the control point, and use the detected communication channel to gain control of the drone. In addition, radio interference can distort the navigation equipment of the drone, and if necessary, the communication channel can be simply silenced.
In the mobile version, all the equipment is placed on board the armored Tiger. Unlike army armored personnel carriers and tracked vehicles, the Tigers have high speed and maneuverability, which allows them to easily move both on highways and off-road.
