All-wheel high-speed amphibious vehicle christened “Drozd”

Russia’s Baltic Machine-Building Company (BMK) unveiled the all-wheel high-speed amphibious vehicle christened “Drozd” during Army-2020 Forum.



Drozd is based on a modular platform of the same name. The vehicle can accelerate to 70 kmph on water and up to 100 kmph on land.

Built from carbon fibre, the Drozd weighs 2 tons and can carry an additional weight of 1.5 tons. "Drozd" is powered by a 260 hp diesel engine weighing 120 kg.

The vehicle’s hull is distinguished by mine protection and the ability to install light armor. The wheels are equipped with an on-the-go inflation system. Drozd can be armed with various weapons - from machine guns and combat modules to multiple rocket launchers.
