Is there already an official version name for this vehicle? Does it have the engine at the front as the Manul?

The dark thin rectangle above the rear road wheel and rear sprocket looks like the engine exhaust which indicates a rear mounted engine...

It is confusing, the rectangle is there also in the Manul and Dragun with forward mounted engine...

Those smoke grenades launched at the end seemed to go off rather too high up in the air... perhaps they are intended to be used to hide from airpower?

Or they were not angled properly?

I recall seeing a video, circa 2015. It was one of the performances at the Russian Arms Expo. I think it was either a T-90 or T-72 that fired the smoke canisters in a very similar fashion, at a similar angle, but instead of providing a small puff of smoke that hung in the air and floated away, it sent a generous curtain of smoke streamers downwards, obscuring everything between the detonation point and the ground, with a decent bit of left-to-right coverage as well. My guess would be that that's what this was supposed to do... but didn't.

They're already in service with the Indonesian Marines

And apparently the Indonesians have been praising the thing and ordered more recently, always a good sign

Nice to see the Russian Naval Infantry finally get a new provisionally successful model into service, rather than being fed with more renders and concepts as usual

Deliveries of BMP-3 and BMP-3F this year:
- 20 units to the 42nd Motorized Rifle Division in the Southern Military District;
- 40 (or 30) pieces to the 155th Marine Brigade in the Eastern Military District;
- 30 units in the 7th Motorized Rifle Regiment in the Western Military District;
- 10 units in the 155th (and then earlier 30 were put there), or in the 40th brigade of the Marine Corps of the Eastern Military District.

In fact, in less than 6 months, the number of BMP-3s in the army has increased by a quarter.

I suspect the last 10 are part of the 40 (or 30) pieces to the 155th Marine Brigade in the Eastern Military District. Probably the first company retrained and operational with them. Apparently all the Naval Infantry brigades are forming a third battalion and they will be equipped with the BMP-3F or 1 battalion of BMP-3F per brigade to go with the present 2 battalions of BTR-82A's.

Presently 2 Motor Rifle brigades, 3 regiments and 1-3 battalions are equipped with the BMP-3.

The Ministry of Defense decided to re-equip the Black Sea Fleet Marines with BMP-3F.

Marines of the Black Sea Fleet will soon receive new infantry fighting vehicles BMP-3F-a marine modification of the BMP, designed specifically for the Marine Corps. The decision on the supply of equipment to the Crimea has already been made.

The Defense Ministry has decided to re-equip one of the battalions of the 810th separate Guards Marine Brigade stationed in Crimea with new BMP-3Fs. The equipment will be delivered as part of the implementation of the state defense order. The Defense Ministry plans that the new BMP-3F will significantly increase the firepower of the Marine Corps, replacing the BMP-2 units in service.

As Izvestia writes, citing sources in the Defense Ministry, the military personnel of the 810th Marine Brigade are well acquainted with the BMP-3F, because it was at its base that practical tests of new equipment were conducted.

Note that the BMP-3F only recently began to enter the Marine Corps units in sufficient quantities. The first new equipment was received by the Marines of the Pacific Fleet, a batch of BMP-3F went to the Far East. Now it is the turn of the Black Sea, where reinforcement is necessary due to the current situation in the region.

"High-precision complexes" plan to equip the BMP-3 with active protection.

Kurganmashzavod PJSC (part of the High-Precision Complexes holding of Rostec State Corporation) will equip the BMP-3 infantry fighting vehicle with a complex of active protection during modernization. This was reported to TASS in the press service of the holding "High-precision complexes" during the international military-technical forum "Army-2021".

"The product is constantly being improved in terms of its main tactical and technical characteristics. To increase the level of security, grating screens, mounted dynamic protection kits are being installed, and the issue of using the installation of active protection systems is being worked out. The increase in team manageability is achieved through the introduction of a modern software and hardware complex" – High-precision Complexes informed.

The upgraded BMP-3 will be able to be used in the North. "To improve mobility, a new track is being developed with reduced ground pressure, which will allow the BMP-3 to be used for the protection of northern territories, and will provide the product with increased cross-country ability. In addition, in the near future it is planned to equip the BMP-3 with a power plant using the UTD-32T engine with a capacity of 660 hp" – the holding noted.

The firepower of the improved vehicle will be increased by introducing high-precision ammunition into the ammunition package. "In the direction of improving the effectiveness of the weapons complex, we are considering the possibility of using guided ammunition" – the press service added.
