Documented Use

Direct proof of use

The BMP-1 675-sb3KDZ entry is supported for the 2014 Russia-Ukraine War by visually documented Russian BMP-1AM 675-sb3KDZ losses. Oryx lists 69 Russian BMP-1AM 675-sb3KDZ vehicles in its Russian equipment-loss record for the invasion, with entries marked destroyed, damaged and abandoned, and captured.

WarSpotting provides a dated example from 29 September 2024: loss record #31182 identifies a Russian BMP-1AM 675-sb3KDZ destroyed near Heorhiivka in Pokrovsk raion. That record ties the variant to a specific date, location, side, and loss status inside the Russia-Ukraine war.

Operational role

The documented user in the cataloged conflict is Russia. The vehicle appears as a BMP-1AM Basurmanin infantry fighting vehicle with the 675-sb3KDZ additional-protection package, so its conflict role is best described as a frontline armored infantry vehicle with added force-protection measures rather than as a separate new combat vehicle.

ANNA News reported in May 2024 that Russian BMP-1AM Basurmanin vehicles were being equipped with 675-sb3KDZ additional-protection kits, including anti-cumulative grilles, and attributed kit production and supply to Kurganmashzavod. Defense Express separately described the 675-sb3KDZ package as a light slat-armor and polymer protection kit intended for BMP-family vehicles while preserving amphibious capability.

Battlefield record

The available public record shows use through losses and captured equipment, not through a disclosed Russian unit order of battle. The Oryx list establishes repeated battlefield presence by collecting photo or video-backed loss entries, while WarSpotting adds geolocated incident-level evidence for at least one destroyed BMP-1AM 675-sb3KDZ in eastern Ukraine.

The evidence supports Russian use in the full-scale phase of the war and does not by itself establish the total number deployed, the first combat sortie, or every unit that operated the variant.

The record tracks a distributed weapon class rather than one factory model: Islamic State, Ukrainian and Russian forces, Hamas, Israeli units in Gaza, and Myanmar armed actors all adapted small UAVs for reconnaissance, bomb drops, assault support, and low-cost strike roles.
BMD-4/BMD-4M, Airborne amphibious infantry fighting vehicle, Armored VehiclesArmored VehiclesBMD-4/BMD-4MAirborne amphibious infantry fighting vehicleThe BMD-4/BMD-4M is a Russian airborne amphibious infantry fighting vehicle built for VDV units, combining a light parachutable tracked chassis with the Bakhcha-U turret's 100 mm 2A70 gun-launcher, 30 mm 2A72 autocannon, and coaxial machine gun. In the 2014 Russia-Ukraine War it appears as a Russian airborne assault vehicle, with visually documented losses at Hostomel and later BMD-4M deliveries showing factory add-on armor, slat armor, and Nakidka signature-reduction kits shaped by the Ukraine battlefield.
BMP-1U Shkval, Infantry fighting vehicle modernization, Armored VehiclesArmored VehiclesBMP-1U ShkvalInfantry fighting vehicle modernizationThe BMP-1U Shkval is a Ukrainian modernization of the Soviet BMP-1 infantry fighting vehicle that replaced the original 73 mm turret with the KBA-105 Shkval weapon station. The upgrade centers on 30 mm cannon fire, a coaxial machine gun, a 30 mm automatic grenade launcher, and Konkurs anti-tank missile launchers, trading some troop capacity for a heavier remote combat module. Its most clearly documented wartime trail runs through Georgian vehicles captured by Russia in the 2008 Russo-Georgian War and later seen or lost in Russian service during the full-scale phase of the Russia-Ukraine War.

Russian industry sources describe repaired and upgraded vehicles delivered under state defense orders, while Ukrainian and open-source loss reporting place BMP-1AM vehicles in Russian service during the full-scale phase of the 2014 Russia-Ukraine War.
