Within the framework of the state defense order “Remdizel” is upgrading the MT-LB in order to increase the power and handling of the machine, as well as weight loss primarily due to the installation of a new engine KamAZ-740.50. Power is increased to 360 Horse power, and the total weight of the armored personnel carriers will decrease by 500 kilograms, He said the representative of the plant.

New hydro-turn box will allow the car to turn in all gears with a controlled turning radius.

As a result, the total weight of the car will fall to 800 kilograms. This makes it possible to put extra armor and protect the machine, They told the company.
